Brief Answer:
There are many diseases which can be transmitted by unprotected sex.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
NGU or non gonococcal urethritis is usually seen in males. If you have taken complete treatment then it is unlikely that you still have the infection. Coming to having unprotected sex with your girlfriend, I suggest you please be cautious and give it a detailed thought. The pain and itch might be due to residual stricture or a fungal infection.

There are other infections like Herpes and HPV which are easily transmitted by unprotected sex. Even assuming you are negative for HIV and syphilis, having unprotected sex will not protect you or your girlfriend if one of you have other infections like Herpes or HPV.

Pregnancy is also an issue in having unprotected sex with your girlfriend.

Please give thoughts to the above before deciding on unprotected sex.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
If Herpes and HPV antibodies test is negative then there is no infection.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in with an update.

If you have got tested for Herpes and HPV antibodies and results are negative then you do not have it.

For HIV you should get tested by standard antibodies test and results should be negative 6 months after having sex with prostitute or any partner with unknown HIV status to confirm that you are not having the infection.

Brief Answer:
Longest HIV window period can be 6 months.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in with an update.

Your problems of itching and pain are understandable. It can be an infection on the skin of penis like fungal infection of the groin and penis foreskin. For this you need to confirm first with a doctor and then apply ointments containing antifungals if you have fungal infection. Also please keep your genitals clean.

The longest window period of HIV can be 6 months therefore it is said to repeat HIV testing after 6 months for peace of mind.

Hope your query is answered.
