What Are The Chances Of Acquiring STD Through Protected Vaginal Sex?
Hello, My question is about STDs. I had an encounter with an escort last weekend. We had unprotected oral sex an protected vaginal sex. Of course, I am worried about STDs. I am planning to get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhoea after 2 weeks and get tested another time after 5-6 weeks for syphilis. Does that sound reasonable? How high is the risk for getting any of the STDs mentioned above through such an encounter. What about the risk for Herpes and HPV? Thanks!
