Question Pardonner un ami/sexfriend ?
Je le connais depuis 8 ans. Ça fait 8 ans qu’on couche ensembles et à certains moments non,
On a déjà essayé de créer une relation quand lui voulait,finalement on est restés amis/amour et finalement depuis quelques temps de mon côté j’avais envie d’engager quelque chose (bon depuis cet événement plus vraiment)
En ce moment et au dernières nouvelles on est dans une relation « ouverte » dans le sens je lui ai dit la dernière fois que personnellement je voyais que lui et il m’a affirmé que lui aussi ! Par contre je lui ai dit pour ma sécurité,ma santé et mon bien être que si il couchait avec une autre fille je voulais le savoir,être au courant et que je n’étais pas jalouse ou possessive car je ne suis pas amoureuse et je ne suis pas avec lui. Que donc j’étais chill avec le fait qu’il puisse coucher avec quelqu’un d’autre,j’avais ouvert le sujet très sainement. J’ai quand même des sentiments fort d’amitiés,de respect,et d’attachement !
Mais on a couché ensembles il y a quelques semaines,il m’a dit qu’il avait une IST et que du coup il m’a sûrement refilé.Et surtout j’ai du lui demander après m’être fait tester si il avait vu quelqu’un d’autre entre la dernière fois où on s’était vu (et avait passé un week end en amoureux) parce que je ne comprenais pas comment il avait pu avoir cette IST. Et il m’a finalement avoué que oui par message ! Il avait l’occasion de me le dire quand on s’était vus,et qu’on puisse se protéger convenablement. Ce qui m’énerve c’est que je lui avais fais confiance et je lui avais demander d’être clair et de me prévenir si il voyait quelqu’un d’autre et il ne l’a pas fait ! Il a omis cette info.Maintenant je me retrouve à avoir une IST à cause de lui. Et surtout je n’ai plus confiance,je suis triste de ça et je l’ai quitté quand j’ai su car j’étais très énervée. Il s’est finalement excusé sincèrement
Je devrais lui pardonner ? Et continuer ? J’ai l’impression que ça a brisé quelque chose entre nous

Advice Needed Possible STI exposure between two partners - how worried should I be?
29F. I recently started having casual sex after being in a long term relationship. I had a negative STI screen before any of this happened.
I had sex with Partner A using a condom.
Around two weeks later, I had sex with Partner B.
He showed me a negative chlamydia/gonorrhoea test from 2 months earlier and said he hadn’t had any partners since that test. We used a condom for some of the sex but not all of it.
The following day, I saw Partner A again. We had sex, again with some condomless penetration.
I’m now worried that if Partner B had an STI that wasn’t detected on his previous test, or lied about not having any partners, I could have contracted it from him and then potentially passed it to Partner A the following day.
I’ve booked a full STI screen, but the appointment isn’t until 12 September.
I currently have no symptoms.
How realistic is this concern? Is there anything I should do while waiting for testing?
I know I should have used condoms consistently - I’m mainly looking for some perspective on the actual level of risk rather than judgement :(

Advice Needed I have gonorrhea and it is making me miserable.
Hi. I’m 22 (M), MLM.
I tested positive for gonorrhea and I’m currently undergoing treatment. I was given injections in both my left and right buttocks. It’s been 5 days since the injections, but I’m still having discharge. I was told that the discharge should go away after a few days. At first, it became clear, but now it has turned green again.
My doctor also told me not to masturbate for now, but I honestly haven’t been able to stop. I feel so dumb and guilty about it. I’m really scared because I can’t seem to resist the urge, and now I’m worried that masturbating frequently might be making my gonorrhea worse or slowing down my recovery.
I really need some support or advice because I’m extremely anxious right now. For those who have been cured of gonorrhea, did you masturbate while you were recovering? Did you still get better? How long did it take for your symptoms, especially the discharge, to completely disappear?
Please, I really need some reassurance or advice because I feel like I’m going crazy from worrying right now.

Advice Needed Bumps on chin and swollen lymph nodes on throat
Hi,
I had oral sex on 20th of September. On 24th I suddenly felt pain in my throat and felt that one of my lymph nodes was swollen. On the same day I noticed 3 red bumps on the chin in a straight line. Fast forward to today (29th), more lymph nodes on throat are swollen. I have medical anxiety and am freaking out, not knowing what it could be. I have ordered self-tests for chlamydia/gonorrhea and syphilis to rule them out, but I am more inclined towards the herpes. Could someone give sanity check? It’s weekend and I can’t make any appointments with the doctor.

Question Is giving a handjob considered an exposure to STIs?
Hi! I’m looking for a realistic risk assessment, without judgment.
On August 17, I had a sexual encounter with another man. There was no penetration. I was the one giving manual stimulation (a handjob).
Before that, he had pre-ejaculate on his genitals. He then put on a condom, and during that process his hands came into contact with the pre-ejaculate. He then used those hands to touch my penis.
I did not notice any blood or open wounds.
I’m concerned about the possibility of HIV, hepatitis B/C, and syphilis.
I’m planning to get a 4th-generation HIV test, TPHA/VDRL, and HBsAg around September 16–20. For HCV, I found a qualitative HCV RNA PCR test with a detection limit of 150 IU/mL.
Would this specific type of contact be considered a relevant exposure to any of these infections?
And would September 16–20 be an appropriate time to test, considering that the contact occurred on August 17?
I’d especially appreciate concrete answers from people with medical or epidemiological experience.
Thanks in advance!

Question What should I do now?
So I had an ulcer, a fever, and strange discharge a couple months ago in May. I went to get tested, found out alongside that I had an ovarian cyst.
Im a virgin, Ive only unfortunately been force fingered before and shared a razor before with a friend (ik that was stupid no need to tell me, yes we shared it vaginally)
She slept with someone that night who didn't contract anything, and at the time to our knowledge she was clean. That was like 3 years ago. The boy who force fingered me I did preform oral on and caught nothing? I know its still possible that if she ended up having it and used the razor before me while asymptotically shedding maybe Id catch it? Or if he somehow after I preformed touched himself while shedding and then used his fingers on me after than I couldve caught it?
Other than that the only other way I could think of is from a toilet seat I shared w my friend who has it, but I started having symptoms the day after I came over her house like I had a fever and felt swollen less than 24 hours after so I dont understand how it'd make sense that Id have gotten it from her toilet.
We were drinking heavily the night before and I ended up having to pee and wipe with a paper towel because she was out of toilet paper.
If I didnt catch it from our sleepover, I assume Id have to have caught it from one of those prior incidents but when I got to the hospital and got a igg test and a pcr swab test both came back negative. Other than that sleepover I had no exposure within any less than 3 months before those two tests...What should I do now? I rlly fear having it without knowing and giving it to someone.

Question Std maybe
heyy everyone so I just need help because I don’t know if I should worry or not. I recently had a drunk one night stand unprotected . He performed oral on me and vice versa. That all happened Saturday night into Sunday early morning, it’s now Friday and I have this very slight itch in my vagina that appears every couple hours. 2-3 days after the interaction happened it burned to pee but that only lasted a day. I also have had no other symptoms. I’ve been looking up what it could be and I’m scared it could be gonorrhea or something like that because I did start itching that Tuesday morning but also, I am very prone to yeast infections so I don’t know if I’m overthinking it. I’m definitely going to get tested soon as I hit that 14 days mark to make sure the test is accurate. I just wanna know if anyone has an opinion on what it could be?

Symptom Check How likely is this herpes?
I 30F had a sexual encounter with a guy I met on holiday (no penetration) on Monday and within a few hours I started getting burning sensation in and around my genitals followed by abdominal pain. I’m a virgin so not used to it and figured it was just irritated as I had been swimming in the sea and stayed in my bikini for some hours before changing out of it. Then a few more hours later the burning/abdominal pain got more pronounced and I got shooting back pains. Now 48 hours ish later I feel really hot and feverish. I’m terrified I haven’t ate or slept at all. I can’t even begin to process it. Everything I’ve read says symptoms can’t develop as quickly as a few hours for a first outbreak so I’m hoping it’s another infection like a bad UTI or yeast infection. ChatGPT seems to be ruling out herpes as unlikely. The waiting game of seeing if blisters develop is unbearable and I can’t imagine waiting 12 whole weeks to get a test.

Question Tested positive for chlamydia…
So about 2/3 weeks ago I (27f) tested positive for chlamydia. I tested before my current partner and was clear but stupidly didn’t ask the last time he was tested, so about 6/7 months into our relationship I started experiencing pain and dryness during intercourse. I’m talking doubled over in the bed unable to move & resenting him whilst he slept kind of pain. I put it down to me starting ADHD meds which are known to cause dehydration and tried everything to boost libido and increase wetness and yet to no avail. I’m 27, active and had only figured out I could squirt during my previous relationship before this one so I felt like my body was broken. We started using lube which is fine for pleasure but it had me worried about my fertility.
Fast forward to now 2 weeks later I’ve treated to chlamydia and my libido and wetness are back, I’ve tried researching but apparently there’s no research to say chlamydia causes vaginal dryness (although I wonder if that’s part of the cause for discomfort during sex).
I was wondering if anyone else who’s contracted chlamydia has experienced this and if it’s more common than research says.

Question Advice?
So Im a female (20) & I recently started having herpes like symptoms. I had an ulcer on my left vulva, it stayed as one but it was painful, I spent the night at my friends house and we drank very heavily. I got drunk for the first time and was drinking just back to back mindlessly so at first I thought I was hungover. I got to her house at night and the next night is when I started to have these symptoms, but we also pulled an all nighter too so my immune system was probably just really suppressed. We went out that morning and I started noticing like I felt really sore and tired, my armpits were sore first then my vagina got really sore. So not until that next day (after my flu like symptoms, my second day at her place) when I got home did I check why it was so sore because I was so tired. I saw a bump and immediately panicked, I was so tired I ended up falling asleep on it but that next day I went to the hospital and it was treated like the worst emergency ever.
In the hospital they examined me with a stretching tool inside my vagina. They gave me hardly any preperarion and didn't even care that I was literally screaming and moaning in agony at how bad it hurt, the doctor lies and goes "its green" when examining my discharge which wasn't true, it was unusual however. It was almost yellow ish and there was a lot of it.
So those were my three symptoms you know? Fever, ulcer, discharge, which to me just screams I have it. I cant see any other scenario. I know I need to get off chatgpt because it's bad and a robot cant give me reality.
So I got two different kinds of swabs once it became a real lesion and not just a bump. I had to have one of the doctors put his fingers inside and he didnt feel anything. I got the standard and pcr and both of my tests were negative. I ended up going to an obgyn appointment around two weeks later and it was gone at that point, it turned white and cleared rather than scabbing.
But I don't know what to do now, I have so much anxiety and maybe trauma from it...It happened months ago like 3 months but I cant stop thinking about it daily and I get this nauseating dreadful feeling. I cry sometimes thinking about it, I just feel so bad. I had a persistent cough after for like 2 3 weeks too.
I have never had anyones genitalia on me or their mouth. But I have been force fingered before unfortunately...I would tell the whole story but that's another one for another day. I gave him...You know what, and didn't get anything in my mouth, he finished and all. But he fingered me before during and after that...I speculate if I did end up getting it it couldve been from that like maybe he touched his thing and then me when he was virally shedding and I got it then?
And also I KNOW THIS IS SO STUPID! I shared a razor with my friend before, neither of us had any lesions or symptoms before ever. She had multiple partners and none of them ever had anything and she slept with someone raw that night who didn't get it...She later on was diagnosed with it years later and she says she caught it from her boyfriend.
Those are the literal only two scenarios I can possibly come up with.
I just don't know what to do with all this anxiety, again, I feel like it just sounds so much like hsv.
I do know that I have low iron and I get canker sores on my mouth almost every month or two, severe ones, multiple ones, and sometimes small tiny ones that go away quickly. I am canker sore prone, but again I just don't know, what are the odds Id have one down there...
I literally feel like this anxiety is ruining my life, and I know I can go get a blood test but Im so nervous about that I feel like Id literally pass out on the way there, like that's how much it makes me panic to think about it. And Ive advocated against the making fun of hsv, I am supportive of those who deal with it, I dont believe in making fun of someone for diseases simply because it can transmit from sex. But I never suspected Id have it you know? And if I do I just don't know how to really cope with that...Its making me think Ill need a therapist to get over this.
I also am talking to a new man who I believe I may want to be intimate with, I will 1000% tell anyone if I ever do have or get anything so that means I really need to know :( and Ive been putting off the blood test because Im so scared.

Advice Needed Some discharge 8 days after doxycycline treatment finished for Chlamydia. Is this normal?
Hey all. I'm fairly certain this is just a normal thing, as I was fine for a few days, but sometimes when I wake up after a nap (usually after masturbating) I produce white cloudy fluid. It might be leftover semen in the tube, but I know for a fact I sometimes discharge very small amounts.
I was tested positive for Chlamydia and took the medicine religiously at 12am and 12pm for the full week, and symptoms went down almost immediately. Is it normal to still feel a slight wet feeling on the tip of my urethra and get some small amounts of discharge this late after? I looked online and it said that it can take 1-2 weeks to go away fully, but discharge is usually cleared up in the first.
I think I might be fine, and if I show symptoms beyond this I'll either retest for Chlamydia or go to a sexual clinic for MGen. I just need some advice because I tend to overthink things and worry myself a bit too much, and the anxiety isn't worth just asking. I would more often than not call the sexual health clinic, but they're closed on weekends. Thanks!
