default
Posted on Mon, 14 Dec 2015
Question: Patient Profile

Gender: Male

Age: 45

Visited a Doctor: No

Medications Tried: Nothing. This occured six days ago

I was in hong kong and hooked up with an XXXXXXX prostitute. I felt so guilty the whole time that we did not have sex. She did kiss the tip of my dick for 1 sec after which i pulled her away she then gave me a handjob and again feeling disgusted i did not let her finjsh me off. I did not ejaculate.. i say kissed my dick as i am sure there was no tongue used.. I am so so so scared and anxious that i may have contracted an std. I am uncircuminsed and have noticed some burning at the tip. I have had this before and found that it was when the foreskin is pulled back rigoursly it stings after.. the foreskin was not pulled back when she kissed it. When she did offer sex she went to put a condom on me
I really look forward to your advice

Brief Answer:
In my opinion, you are STD free, stop worrying

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I understand you are nervous and anxious, but let me state a few facts from the provided information:

+There was only kissing (her lips) of your penis: If at she had to transmit an STD to you, there should have been active saliva and also active infection-causing organisms in her oral cavity which was not exposed to your penis

+She did kiss your penis, and you must be thinking that the lips could also have had some of her saliva on it. Most infection-causing organisms do not survive very well in the environment and there is a very very mild chance of the infection-causing organism to transmit an infection to you even if the organism was indeed alive on her lips (that is also, only if she indeed had an STD)

+There was no sexual intercourse, which is the main source of transmission

+There was no mouth-to-mouth kissing

+There was no oral sex: also one of the main modes of transmission

The burning on your penis could be a result of any of the following:

-The foreskin, as you did get excited during this event, which could have resulted in the foreskin getting pulled behind
-Totally in your mind
-As a result of leaving the region wet or moist: Possibly due to sweat as you have been travelling, or because you may have washed the region after getting back to your room and possibly even left it wet; this can result in a fungal infection (which is totally harmless and not related to any STD whatsoever)

So in my opinion, in conclusion I think that you are safe. But just to make sure, you can choose to go ahead with an STD-panel in a few days time once you are home. Please do not hesitate to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.

Thank you thank you
So you don't consider the act then to be oral sex. ?
When you say her oral cavity, does that refer to the back of her throat where I went no where near?
I think my anxiety has to do with her nationality and occupation?
I really appreciate your reply and look forward to this next response.

Brief Answer:
Always here to help sir :)

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

No, I do not consider it to be oral sex.

Yes, the back of her throat, the inside of her mouth, all make up the oral cavity.

Not all Africans are bad :), you should just have a problem with her profession.

I am always here for you sir. So you can write to me anytime, and about anything, okay?

Best wishes.

Sorry im just nervous. Both her lips went around the top of my head for one second. I did not feel a tongue. Does this change your opinion. I apologise about the XXXXXXX comment also

Brief Answer:
Opinion still remains the same sir :)

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

No sir, it does not change my opinion. :)

You need not apologise, I just wanted you to know that race, religion, colour, ethnicity does not change who we are. Circumstances got that woman where she is today, if things went better with her I am sure she would have wanted to be a doctor, lawyer, engineer, or anything else. Lets be kind to all. :)

You need not worry about saying anything wrong to me sir, your opinion is yours. :) Please do not worry, and you can keep in touch with me, and write to me anytime anything gets you worried, okay? :)

Best wishes.
