Brief Answer:
Recommended the tests that you need to do to rule out sexually transmitted

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read it carefully and I understand your concern.

As I understand it you have had a sexual encounter with this lady, right?

If this is the case then you should get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea from urine or urethral secretions, syphilis and HIV in blood.

If you have started with any symptom yet,then consider taking the treatment anyway despite the results of the tests will take some time.

Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.

Regards,
Dr.Papaqako

Brief Answer:
No sexual contact- no risk for HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

So you mean that you haven't had any sexual contact?

In this case, then you don't need to worry about HIV. Even if you were naked, if there hasn't been contact then there is not risk about HIV not any other sexually transmitted disease.

Brief Answer:
I don't think the tests are necessary.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I don't think there is a risk for any medical problem. And it gets confirmed that nothing happened since she has clothes on.

But if you really want to have a peace of mind then do the testing I recommended above.

As I said, I don't think they are necessary.

Brief Answer:
Check for the needle puncture sign.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

You need to calm down.

If you think that something has happened with the pizza delivery girl then you can do the tests so you can be sure that you are free from this infections.

About the girl in the laundry, I would suggest to check and see if you have any needle puncture. If not, then don't worry.

do you have often from this kind of ideas? Have you seen any local doctor to talk about these? If these are affecting your daily activity, I would recommend that. I can help from here are much as I can too.

Let me know if you have other concerns.

Brief Answer:
If you don't remember something happened today, then it hasn't happened

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I saw carefully your photo and cannot see any needle puncture sign. But of course under direct vision, its better visible.

I think you are worrying without a reason. Only in movies happen these things when people want to inject viruses to people. So I think its not real and you don't need to worry about it.

What worries me its why you think that you don't remember something that just happened. you should not have problem with this. It is something that cannot happen. Have you ever been to somewhere that you realized later on that you didn't know how you've been ?
