Male. History Of Having Unprotected Anal And Oral Sex With Male. Test For STD Needed?
Hi I'm a 31 year old male, Last night i had my first bi encounter during anal my condom broke. He says he has only been with 4 others and always practices safe sex even though we didn't use condoms during oral and he did arse to mouth on me. I'm so scared and I don't know what to do now, I'm not sure how long until I can get tested or anything else I should be doing after this horrible experience. Please doc help me
Well it depends on whether or not the other sex partner is having STDs but since we can not surely know then it is advisable to get screened for STDs now (since there is always the risk of acquiring STDs while practicing unprotected sex) and then repeat tests after say 3 months. You will be required to do chlamydia serology, TPHA/VDRL, HIV serology, Hepatitis B&C serologies, urinalysis, urethral swap etc. If you are free of any of those diseases, you might be required to repeat other tests such as HIV, viral hepatitis later on to confirm being free of infection. Meanwhile, as since this is a rather uncomfortable situation with you, it is best you try practicing protected sex especially considering that the anus being the organ of fecal excretion could be a reservoir of several germs. As of now, you should stay calm and know that anything that must have happened has happened and there is nothing you can do about it right away until you can get the tests done.
Hope this helps
