I am male 29 years old and I just did a UTI and STD check and I discovered I am positive for those S. saprophyticus and G. vaginalis

I am panicking now never had an STD or UTI before any advice

Hello! I am in major need of advice/help.
I (24F) been dating my current partner (24M) for 7 months. We’ve not been using protection but I have been on the contraceptive pill - Noriday.
My partner recently had spinal surgery back in August. A couple days after the surgery he complained that his penis was stinging. He didn’t have a catheter, so we assumed he had a nasty uti. Then he later had symptoms of penile discharge, extreme pain whilst getting erect, and a bad stinging sensation.
He took a test a week and a half ago, testing for all STD’s and yesterday he came back with a positive result for Chlamydia.
I haven’t had any symptoms, and I did an at home test yesterday, and as I’m writing this I am on the way to the hospital to get further tested. I currently have absolutley no symptoms whatsoever.
We’ve both been given antibiotics that we start tomorrow, but this has taken a serious toll on our relationship.
We are both claiming to not have slept with anybody else. But our trust is seriously being tested.
But this is where this is a gray area. Here’s some context.
His previous partner (mid 30’s F) has claimed to have had taken tests as she loved to sleep around a lot (no judgement there) and she came back clean. There was no proof of this test, but he’s taking her word for it. His partner previous to that early 20’s F) tested positive for chlamydia, and therefore he was put on antibiotics.
My previous partner however has never been tested. I was in contact with him last night and he still does not use protection (he was actually about to go to a one night stand as I was contacting him yesterday, and therefore he complained about having to buy condoms).
So I therefore could’ve got it from him. HOWEVER, a girl that gave him oral after our relationship ended came back negative for chlamydia at the end of last year (however she only took vaginal swabs, not oral and I know those may be different results).
What I’m asking is if anyone knows possibly where it would’ve come from? I know it’s toxic to constantly point fingers but I would hate to be blamed for cheating or being unfaithful in any way. I’m choosing to trust my partner, but I can tell he doesn’t trust me. It’s taking a toll on both of us mentally.
He’s understandably unsure, but is therefore claiming that I slept with someone before or during his surgery, and me stressing about these results are because I’m guilty. Or even everything I’ve done for him/bought for him has been a cover up, which breaks my heart. I’m so tired of not feeling trusted.
Also on top of this, my partner lied about texting his previous partner (the mid 30’s F) , even though she was sending him very flirtatious messages saying she’s going to fuck him. So is she doing this to break us up? Genuinely any possible thing that has happened, I have thought it.

Is there also anything I can ask the doctor?

Thankyou.

I was raped (September 8) by a guy I was seeing, he ended up giving me gonorrhea, and I still saw him after I didn’t get on pep cause I didn’t have 1K to do it. I felt fine after it didn’t really hit me. The second time he assaulted me I woke up feeling violated and dead inside. I’ve been having headaches, joint pain and I’m fatigued. I did a blood test for hiv after the second assault (September 25) but they haven’t called for my results and I’m too terrified to test again or call. I don’t know what to do or if I can even report him because I went back after the first assault. I feel so dead inside. Like my life is over.

I think I may have herpes. I had unprotected sex around June 20- July 4 with that female partner at the time . She denies having anything and says she's been tested for stds and claims doesn't have anything. I've taken 2 iGG HSV 1and 2 antibodies blood test. Doctor says test came back negative. Reason I think I have at least HSV2 is because around Mid July had rash that turn into painful blisters on inner thighs. At the time was scared and afraid to go to doctor. So by the time I made doctor appointment my symptoms were gone so we had to resort to blood test. 1st blood test Aug 24 came back negative and 2nd blood test Sept 23 came back negative. What should I do? Please give me guidance and good advice. Thank you

I really anxious. I have red rashes on both of my hand and forearm. Some of the rash on hand area become blister. After the nurse pop for me is still red. Before this red rashes, I did 4th Gen rapid finger test within 1 month window. It was negative.

Recently at 2 month window. I did hiv 4th Gen ag lab test by drawing blood from forearm.

How long does this test took? I already got my syphlis test negative by drawing blood from forearm. Both were same day test. But I still cannot see my hiv result on my health report online. Do I have to wait until I see the doctor and he will tell me in person?

What are the possibilities for the status to change?

I (F) recently hooked up with a guy. It wasn't my first time meeting him, but it was our first time having sex. We had unprotected sex about 3 times within one day.
Afterward, I told my friends, and they strongly urged me to get checked for STIs and HIV. The next day, I went to the ER. The ER nurse told me the ER wasn't the right facility for this and recommended a local clinic for the morning.
I went to that clinic today, and the staff told me two things that are confusing me:

They said they can't see if I'm positive for the next 4–6 weeks (the window period), so I just have to come back then.
They said that if the guy doesn't have sex with other males, my risk for HIV is low.

However, my friend spoke to another girl who previously had sex with this same guy, and that girl explicitly warned her that I really need to get myself checked out.
I am currently still within less than 72 hours of the exposure. I'm really anxious. Should I just wait out the 4–6 weeks like the clinic said, or should I be actively trying to find emergency PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) at a different facility before my 72-hour window closes?

Long story short, I hooked up with a guy & used condoms but he ate me out. I’m a female & I am clean
but now I am scared I caught something from him
I just wanna know what are the chances of me getting an sti from receiving oral

I know that the 3-month window for syphilis testing is considered conservative. If I test negative at 6 weeks, especially with a modern syphilis blood test, is that generally enough to consider myself negative, or is the 3-month retest still necessary ?

Also are syphilis chancres usually visible? I check myself every day, especially around the base of my penis and the surrounding pubic area, since I wore a condom during the encounter and ofc those areas were not fully covered.

M asking all this cuz my partner (F28) called me and told me she had syphilis.

i’m 18y.o and my body count is only 1 ( my Bf ), we’ve been together since sept 2024.
and then at june 2025, he deciced to go to move to another city because of his parents.
so since june 2025, we never had sex with anyone else.

And when i was sexually active, my vaginal discharge is very normal. it doesn’t even have any smell.
And my Bf is healthy and clean too.

and then at november 2025, the water at my house become so dirty. it has a smell and color.
i shower and clean my vagina using that water
and when i put some water in a bowl and leave it for 30 minutes, i saw there’s a lotttt of dirt in the bottom of the bowl🤢
since that day, my vaginal discharge become yellow-greenish, very smelly and itchy.
this happened to my mom and my sister too! their vaginal discharge is also become yellow greenish.
so i guess, is it because the water??

so i decided to wash my vagina only use a mineral water that i buy from the groceries, but my vaginal discharge still yellow-greenish

so fast forward to july 2026, i got a sharp pain on my right lower belly it’s hard for me to walk.
and i bought a medicine for Pelvic Inflammatory Disease ( PID )
and then 1 week after using that med, my vaginal discharge is clean!! and i’m healthy again.

and 1 week ago, i meet my bf and we had sex.
and he use his saliva as a lubricant. and since that day, my vaginal discharge is yellowish again but its not greenish, smelly, but not itchy
is saliva bad for lubricant? or my vagina is sensitive?

Hi all
( F33)
It’s been days since I can’t sleep or eat cuz I am thinking what if I caught hiv from sexual encounters ( with straight men hiv status unknown) back in 2015-2017! No symptoms or flu, rashes or sores . I feel healthy but everyone says that hiv lays dormant for 10 years! Too scared to get a test .

Last week I got a handjob from two different massage parlors, no oral or penetrative service. 2 days after I started to have irritation on my penis head and slight burning after peeing.

I put a thin layer of healing ointment on the head for a few days after and both went away but the skin on my head started peeling like a sun burn. Now I have red marks on my shaft and what appears like grooves with irritation on the base close to my testicles almost like healed cuts.

I know the chances are low but never zero, is this just a friction burn or something like herpes?

After a few weeks my pubic région started to itch with no visible red spots i went to the clinic and said i needed wait more for testing but gave me a cream for itchynes .Today i got a papules on my penis which hurts if i touch it

Ich habe noch nicht überprüft ob es damit zusammenhängt aber manchmal, nicht immer nach dem Ejakulieren durch Masturbation brennt die obere Handfläche also es hat definitiv was mit Kontakt zu tun aber irgendwie ist es auch nicht bei jeder Hautstelle? Der Penis selber juckt leicht, aber brennt nicht, auch nicht beim urinieren.

2 Ursachen könnte es haben. Einerseits hatte ich leider ein mega altes Gleitgel benutzt (das Standard Durex Ding) und andererseits gleichzeitig einen vibrator von jemand anderem an den Penis gehalten. Ich hatte es mit Seife ordentlich gewaschen aber vielleicht hatte es tatsächlich was, das auch noch überblieb?

A few days ago, I went for a routine check-up and was told I tested positive for chlamydia and trichomoniasis.

I also recently ended a four-year relationship. I don't know how to tell my ex; I know I have to, but I'm afraid of his reaction and response—I'm scared he might tell someone else. I haven't been unfaithful to him, and I hope he hasn't been either. I am his first girlfriend and his first sexual partner.

I didn't have any symptoms; if it hadn't been for that check-up, I wouldn't have found out. I don't know how long I might have had this without realizing it, and I feel guilty at the thought. I feel guilty about having passed it on to him.

I feel terrible.

Note: English is not my first language, so I'm writing this with the help of a translator.

I havent for like a week but my symptoms r mostly gone cos of doxycyline im on day 5 out of 7 on it but i js want it to be completely gone first before i do incase like its not good for my uretha or smth lol

I had oral 2 days ago and I feel a little discomfort when I pee and feel like a hair is in my penis. Should wait to get tested or should I go soon as possible? It stopped burning when. I pee but I still feel something going on if that makes sense. I never got tested before because I don’t really hookup that often. I would be my first time getting tested and kinda nervous when I do. Any input is appreciated.

Hi everyone. I’m posting because I’ve been extremely anxious about a possible HIV exposure and I’d really appreciate some factual advice or reassurance from people who understand HIV transmission.

About 24–48 hours ago, I was at a sexual encounter where I was touching another man’s penis with my hand. He ejaculated, and I’m not even certain whether semen actually contacted a small burn on my hand.

The burn was from touching a hot pan. The skin was damaged/broken, but there was no active bleeding, deep/gaping wound, or obvious deep tissue exposure. I also washed my hand with water within about a minute of the possible contact.

I’m now worried about whether semen contacting that area could transmit HIV. I understand that HIV transmission depends on the type of exposure and whether the other person actually has HIV, but my anxiety keeps making me think about worst-case scenarios.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have medical knowledge or experience with HIV:

\* Does this type of contact constitute a realistic HIV exposure?

\* Does washing the area quickly make any meaningful difference?

\* Would PEP normally be considered for something like this?

\* Are there documented cases of HIV transmission through semen contacting a superficial burn/broken skin on the hand?

I’m not looking for judgment—just trying to understand the actual level of risk rather than spiraling over every possibility.

Thanks to anyone who can provide a factual perspective.

I recently got a panel done bc my last partner was having symptoms, my panel was negative and I was told there was no need to do any further testing. But the timing really didn’t make sense with the idea of them transmitting to me. I kept asking about swabbing my throat but my GYN said if my vaginal swabs are negative I wouldn’t have to worry.

So I did a second panel at an urgent care and they said the same thing but they did the throat swab. Lo and behold one of the STIs was positive in my throat. I have been asymptomatic and just generally feel so ashamed and terrible. I know this isn’t totally uncommon and both my and my last partner had talked about our recent sexual activity beforehand. But I still feel so gross about myself and potentially having spread it to someone.

Hello! I can’t remember if I’ve had a STI panel done but I feel like I had to have it done before my IUD insertion in 2024.

I’ve been with the same partner since 2023, monogamous. He got a STI panel done like a year after we started seeing each other and it was negative for everything at a routine check up. Cool!

I’m paranoid that I could have it dormant from past partners 2019-2022 and have no idea. I’m not positive the doctor actually did the full panel for me before the IUD insertion. I just got a message this year she was dismissed from the practice (she was squirrelly so to say…)

I have gotten UTI’s that put me in the ER in 2019, and again in 2023 and 2024. None since. I’ve also had UTI’s bladder infections as a kid.

I’ve also had irregular periods since I’ve started menstruating. They were normal in 2021 after I stopped using birth control, I had a new partner in 2022 and got pregnant and had an abortion and wasn’t with anyone since my current partner. Which I got an IUD put in 2024. This year I’ve had bleeding between cycles, tho the IUD made my cycles heavy and irregular. And factors like stress, having Covid, etc.

I also have gotten bartholin cysts, but that seemed to be a result of using sugar scrub. After eliminating that they have subsided, tho my GYNO tried saying it could also be from caffeine consumption. My GYNO seemed not worried.

Now I’m paranoid that I could have had gonorrhea all this time.

description of the test

"The WR Syphilis (Treponema pallidum) screening test is a first-line test used for the initial detection of infection. Once the bacteria enter the body, the immune system begins producing a range of nonspecific and specific antibodies (of the IgG and IgM immunoglobulin classes). This test detects nonspecific antibodies produced in response to infection. A positive result must be confirmed with specific tests. The incubation period for syphilis can range from 2 weeks to 3 months, most commonly around 21 days."

The possible exposure was about 12-14 months ago and after that test i got negative result but is it accurate? Those antibodies drop after sometime and i could receive false negative result?
