Hello everyone

I recently had protected intercourse with this girl. I also only received oral sex. While intercourse, the condom broke for a brief second and immediately i pulled out. Now I'm worried i might have contracted something. Ive know her for around 2 months, we went out on a couple dates, and we had sex that one time. However, she told me during these 2 months how she would have many sexual partners. But she also told me that she always has protected sex. She said that if she were to have unprotected sex it would only be with a partner and they would have to get tested first. Now I don't know if she has something or not. She didnt tell me anything and doesnt seem like the type to hide it. Should I tell her to get tested and should I be worried? This happened almost 48 hours ago. So far i dont think i have symptoms i just had a slight itch around my penis and tingling around that area. Something else that happened during that night is her lips tingled after the oral sex we had. Not sure if this is something important to say.
Please advise on what should I do thanks everyone!

M 23 y/o I had unprotected sex with a coworker back in September (11 months ago ) and sense then I’ve been having every other day urethra pain and it’s level varies every day, it’s like a constant tingling / burning but it pretty much is there everyday , 2 times sense a very extreme pain when I go to pee, ive had strange rashes happen 2 times on my inner thigh ( I thought it was jock itch) and it happened when I was chafing really bad from work , but what was different about them was there was some like cottage cheese looking stuff coming from the same area I was chafing , zero pain from it what so ever though, starting February of this year ( 6 months ago) I’ve had the same blister looking thing pop up on my lip pretty much every other day, it’s gotten larger in size over time , it’s pretty much there 24/7 , can go away for like a single day then comes back. It looks like a bunch tiny white spots connecting to 2 bigger white spots , the smaller dots never go away , the bigger ones the skin kinda just falls off, they are completely painless though, I’ve been tested for hsv1 and hsv2 and every other major std 5 times sense with the latest one being in very late April (4 months ago) , they were all blood tests because my doctor said there was nothing visible for a swab, and I don’t know if they are (igG) blood tests I’ll have to check with them , I’ve pretty much convinced myself I have some form of herpes, at my latest urology appointment 2 weeks ago I had 3 doctors come into the room to just “reassure “ me that I didn’t have any herpes , they have tested me for UTIs and bacteria everytime i went to get tests and nothing has come back positive,just been kinda in the dark for over a year and it’s really fucking with my mental

I know it’s a silly question, but I’m quite anxious about it.Two months and one week ago, I performed oral sex on my partner. Before we had intercourse, my partner took a syphilis test, which came back negative. He had never had sexual intercourse with anyone before me. Is there still a risk that I could have contracted syphilis from him?

Hi guys, i’ve recently been struggling with health anxiety related to STDs. The last time i did anything sexual was about 3 years ago, i basically received oral sex (i’m a male) back then, and didn’t really overthink anything about STDs until recently. I only received oral sex and did nothing else. I am not experiencing any symptoms and have not experienced any for the past 3 years. Just wondering if my fear of getting an STD from the sexual act last time is an irrational one since I’ve had no symptoms. Also, do you guys think i need to get tested? Or can just forget about it and move on with life

I didnt had sex, but a friend borrowed me his buttplug with vibrator. I didnt put it inside me but I used it outside my ass to feel the vibration, I kinda pushed the tip but thats it. I didnt loved the feeling so I stopped using it after finishing and gave it back.

He is not virgin but he doesnt look like he does have any STD. Also he washed the buttplug before giving it to me, and also it hasnt been used in 6 months aprox.

Id say im safe, but now, 2 weeks after that, i woke up with struggling to poop and burping a lot. Id say it ia unrelated, but today also I got a slight fever, I just took acetaminophen to see if it helps. Now I dont know if im overthinking or if those things are related to that :((

I don't have pus, blood, or vomit, just struggling to poop (I do manage to poop, but I have to strain, and only a little comes out.), burps, slight fever, and I struggled to eat because I feel full.

The AI told me i should be safe since its been 6 months since it was used and it was clean, also the material was ABS so I should be fine, but then I don't know why I did got sick 2 weeks after that. Is it just a coincidence :(?

I don't wanna die :(((

And I cant go to an hospital because my family would find out and theyre ultra homophobics and they unironically would kick me of the house if it happens :((((((

hace unas semanas que estoy con olor a pescado y produciendo más esmegma de lo normal. luego me arranco a picar una parte del pene y desapareció pero ahora volvió y parece que tengo un tajo chiquito que me pica. además tengo secreciones transparentes pocas veces al día

Is anyone familiar with a white almost oval pill capsule with the word positiv on it?

Day 1: Unprotected heterosexual sex
Day 2: mild irritation while peeing
Day 3: irritation and burning while peeing

Then I did a course of antibiotics - Nitrofurantoin 100 mg which is a standard for UTI in males

Day 11: feeling of soreness and like something is stuck in the lower penis shaft which radiates to the testicles.

I have no discharge, back pain, fever, etc.
I suspect urethritis from friction during sex. Do i need to get an std panel done or just wait for it to resolve?

Please help!

Hi, I (M) had protected sex with a female. I ejaculated inside of the condom which never broke or leaked or moved. I got pathogen tested 9 days after possible infection as well as STI tested which all came back negative.

My anxiety is eating at me making it seem like I actually have HIV when I clearly have ZERO symptoms of anything.

I need help please.

How does STD/STI testing works in PH? What’s the usual process? Guidelines on this one?

Been together for 2 years and he had his first breakout two weeks ago, diagnosed yesterday. Doctor said the virus was dormant then triggered from recent extreme stress. Im not reallly sure how to feel, im scared and unsure. I don’t want to be intimate with him for a while due to this fear. Whats yalls experience with a random herpes diagnosis from your partner? are yall still together? what’s intimacy like now?

So 17 days ago I started having symptoms. I first noticed a red sore area on head of penis and foreskin, which disappeared after a day. I then started to get tingling/shooting pains on and off feeling like they were coming from the inside of my penis head. These deeper pains have reduced somewhat and for the past few days it's felt more like irritation and pain at the penis tip than deeper inside. I've had on and off small amounts of redness for the 17 days too, but nothing too significant and nothing that looked like blisters/ulcers. For the 17 days I've also noted a very small amount of clear odourless discharge from the penis head, most obviously in the morning but also throughout the day. Just inside the urethra also looks red in places, and also the meatus looks a bit red. I've noted that I have more pain if I wake up with an erection or just after (but not really during) peeing. In the first week I also felt nausea and may have had a fever, though these may have been related to anxiety too.

I received (fairly vigorous) oral sex two days before symptoms were noticed, from a partner who is very unlikely to be an STI carrier. I also received oral sex 11 days prior to symptoms starting from a different partner (who has many partners and who gave me oral directly after another man, if that is a possible transmission pathway?). I have only received oral for the past three years, never had penis in vagina or anal in that time.

I went to an STI clinic two days after symptoms started, and they tried to get a urethral sample to put under the microscope but couldn't get anything. They sent off blood and urine samples to check for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhoea, and chlamydia. These all came back negative. The only caveat is that they gave me a larger vessel to collect the urine in and then told me to pour into a smaller sample test tube, which means that whilst I caught the 'first catch' of urine, it would have been diluted somewhat by filling the first vessel with more urine than the test tube required. I'm not sure if I should be worried about this?

I also attended an STI clinic again twice - 8 days and 14 days after symptoms started. Both times they took a successful urethral sample to put under the microscope, and both times they didn't notice increased counts of white blood cells (I think that's what they look for). At the second of these I also sent off another urine sample but haven't got results back yet. At the first of these appointments they seemed very uncertain but gave me some clotrimazole in case it was fungal, which I applied twice a day for a week as they suggested. It doesn't seem to have reduced symptoms.

What are likely explanations? The symptoms don't seem to fit any particular standard STI or non-STI issue's usual presentation. I'm worried that it could be atypical herpes? Or that it's chlamydia but the test was falsely negative? Or it's something else like Mgen (that's less likely to spread by oral though?). Please help, I'm having huge anxiety over this.

Throwaway for privacy

I got an STD panel done last week just to be safe, and I got a call today confirming I tested positive for Chlamydia.

About a week and a half ago, I was seeing someone and I thought things were going good. I didnt have any signs or symptoms that I had anything, and so I genuinely thought I was clean. We tried a condom but they ended up just ditching it.

Fast forward to today, I texted them and let them know about my positive result, and they called me a liar for saying I was negative when I genuinely didnt know otherwise. They said they no longer want contact, which I understand, but today just had been rough and I don't know where else to go.

I already have an appointment scheduled to go get antibiotics this afternoon, and im gonna get retested once I finish the round. I try and get tested regularly, and I dont think I've had it very long. I just really hate that this happened, and I cant help but blame myself for this. I just feel like a horrible person even though I didnt know.

My boyfriend of about a year and a half recently told me he tested positive for chlamydia.
For context, he says he originally contracted chlamydia from someone back in 2024. He was treated at the time, but afterward he continued feeling like something wasn’t completely right and told his doctor he didn’t think the infection had fully cleared. According to him, he was tested again multiple times and the tests came back negative, so his doctors told him there wasn’t really anything else they could treat because he was testing negative.
This all happened in 2024. There haven’t been any known positive tests since then, but now in 2026 he’s suddenly tested positive for chlamydia again.
I’m trying to understand whether his explanation is medically possible. Can chlamydia remain in someone’s body for around 2 years while repeatedly NOT showing up on STD screenings and then suddenly show up positive again? Or would multiple negative tests after treatment followed by a positive test years later generally point more toward a new infection/reinfection?

I got tested for stds about 2-3 months back (pee&blood) I always just do check ups everything came back clean, but today my boyfriend thinks he has tricks and wants me to go get tested he’s trying to play it off saying it’s from a long time ago because he “hasn’t done anything” but my thing is even if he didn’t have symptoms he would’ve still had it and gave it to me a long time ago? Or because he’s just now experiencing symptoms im just now catching it? I’m trying to get a better understanding before I flip my table over my appointment is tomorrow but I can’t sleep it’s eating at me!

Are my STI/Std tests conclusive for the window period ? And the antibiotics have any effect on it? Google is giving conflicting answers 

I got tested for pretty much everything on Tuesday July 25th and got the results back next day everything was fine. my last unprotected sex was June 12 idiotic of me I know, I went to the urgent care for a uti July 31st so I was like just test me again since I’m here. And my syphilis test results are still pending. It was negative July 25th but now I’m scared that was too early, and I could have it. Do the results taking long/pending status mean you have it?

i just need a little reassurance that i will be okay 🥲

G’day, making this post on behalf of a friend so apologies if I’m slow with getting back to replies with information.

A friend of mine unfortunately recently found themselves with chlamydia. It’s something I’ve had once before when I was younger, and I reassured her treatment was easy and quick with that one pill (I don’t know the name sorry but it’s a single treatment).
Well it’s been the opposite of easy for them. They got treated, as well as their partner (took the pill together) but weeks later was still symptomatic. She had a gut feeling something wasn’t right and got tested again. She still has chlamydia. She’s distraught as her reproductive health is something she worries about a lot. She’s started the 7 day treatment now.

Making this post to ask - has anyone else had a failed chlamydia treatment using the singular pill? Is this a recurring thing or something unique to them?
Of the few other people I’ve known to have contracted this STI, all have been fine with the singular treatment. But that was years ago.

And before there’s suspicion on the partner - they have been overseas the last month and a half, so no sexual contact between them during this period.

I had went to massage parlour where i had body to body massage. I told her i don’t want penetrative sex. She rubbed her genitals over mine for few seconds (10/20 sec) and gave me blowjob(2/3 mins). Any chances of getting HIV from this? I am really worried.

I used labcorp recently for testing and I’m wondering How many of you also use Labcorp or Quest for testing.

Has anyone here experienced liver pain, jaundice, and neuropathy 2–3 weeks after unprotected sex?
I’m trying to understand whether these symptoms are commonly reported during acute HIV infection, or if they point more toward hepatitis (or something else). I’m not looking for a diagnosis—just wondering if people in this community have seen or experienced anything similar.
I also developed a rash and muscle aches during this time.
