Does Cuts On Penile Shaft And Testicles After Sex Indicate STD?

I had a one night stand with a girl from moscow. She is 22 and just completed a degree in sciences. She didn't do any hard drugs but did say she has a lot of sex in whacky places. She seemed pretty middle class. We didn't have a condom after she asked me if I had. I penetrated her a couple of times for 2 minutes or less but then stopped as we had no condom. I saw her the next day but we didnt have penetrative sex, only oral. Thing is i had shaved down there before the first time so i might have had little nicks or cuts on the penis shaft and testicles. I am now very scared I have caught something. Of course I will get checked but and AIDS test is only after 3 months! Could I have caught it from her and what about any other STD?

Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Unprotected peno-vaginal sex with partner of unknown sexual status, is a high risk in terms of STD's including HIV.
Almost all STD's can be transmitted by unprotected peno-vaginal sexual contact including herpes, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital warts, molluscum and HIV.
Regarding specifically risk of acquiring HIV through minor 'cuts and nicks' , it is negligible because for HIV to gain access into the blood stream, the wound has to be fresh and actively bleed.
Fine Nicks and cuts and wounds that are already a few hours old (say 4-6 hours), are not accessible for HIV.
I would suggest that you visit a sexual health specialist for counselling and testing.
Testing is advisable for Herpes earliest at 2 weeks; for HIV and Syphilis (VDRL) earliest at 1 month, to be repeated at again 3 months.

Regards
Always practice safe sex with a condom!
