Hi Doc
I was hoping you could help me with a query. I foolishly had a drunken encounter with a professional transsexual. We had mutual unprotected oral sex, no ejaculation. Since then I have been feeling very anxious as I am in a committed relationship.
7 days after the episode I went to my doctor and had tests for HIV (antigen), Hep C, Syphilis, and urinary PCR for c. trachomatis and n. gonorrhoea. at the time i was asymptomatic.
All these tests came back negative.
However since the tests I have developed some symptoms of urethritis, although not quite textbook. I have had a persistent burning feeling in the urethra, but not dysuria and some subtle testicular pain. No discharge. It should be noted that in that time I have had unprotected oral and anal sex with my usual partner which i guess could cause urethritis potentially?
Anyway, I have returned to my doctor who has performed a midstream urine microscopy and culture. I am awaiting any results from this.
My question is this: is there any risk that I could pass some infection onto my partner that might cause PID? are there other things i should be tested for? Could my symptoms be something innocuous? Should i just relax and forget about it? How sensitive is PCR urine? Could it be wrong??
Thank you Doc
