What Are The Chances Of STD After Unprotected Sex?
i had unprotected sex 3 days ago for the first time in the last year. I was drunk and didn t remember it too well. Ive been on birth control, but i still freaked out and took plan b a day later just in case i hadn t been completely regular with my birth control. I woke up the next morning with a sore throat and swollen tonsils. Not sure if thats related to anything or possibly me just coming down with a cold or something. I never performed oral sex that night. I also have had unusual discharge the past two days. It s been thick and white, but it doesn t smell at all. I m just freaked out i have an STD or am pregnant. I get very paranoid about this stuff thats why i haven t had sex in an entire year until 4 days ago now. Ive also never had an STD test but I ve never had symptoms either. I want to get one just to be safe but I m embarrassed and haven t even been to a GYNO before. I m 20. What should i do about that as well

Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your query.
In general, the risk from any single exposure is low enough that I do not recommend testing after any particular exposure, unless you know your partner had an STD. But if you will sleep better, you could be tested for common STDs.
Regarding pregnancy, as you have consumed past coital pills, you are less likely to be pregnant. But still I advice you to perform a urine pregnancy test a week after missed period and with morning sample of urine. This test kits are nearly 98% accurate, so reliable.
Yet , again I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
