Am I at risk of an STD?
Hello, hope someone here will be able to help me.
I am a 32 yo male and couple of month ago had protected sex with a sex worker. Maybe a couple of minutes vaginal then change of condom and oral. All of it wearing a condom.
I urinated right after and washed my penis off with soap. Washed another time a couple of hours later. Same day started feeling sort of warm sensation on tip of my penis and sligjt discomfort. I know that it usually takes longer for any STD to show up so tried to dismiss it. The discomfort stayed and grew, so did anxiety.
I went to see a doctor after 7 days and tested for STDs urine(pcr) and blood. All came back negativr and whatever symptomes i had faded away. I was just making sure to wash my genitals with special soap and keep clean.
Now 7 weeks later my girlfriend developed symptomes of a mild UTI , something that happends from time to time but didnt happend for over a year probably. I started worrying that I could give her an infection, got anxious and same discomfort feeling came back. At the same time, I developed hemorroids. I was scared that it could be proctitis but looks like I can rule it out since I Could get it only through anal sex, right?
Basically my question is, how reliable my test results were after 7 days of exposure? Especially for ghonorrea and chlamidiya. And if I could be at risk.
Also, probably worth mentionning I never developed any symotomes of urethrit like burning while peeing/ discharge/etc.

Your tests at that time are conclusive. Your wife's uti is most probably just that and nothing you gave her. Your hemorrhoid is a bummer but has nothing to do with your exposure. I say bummer because I have them myself. To much power lifting.
Anyway your exposure was incredibly low risk as you wore protection the whole time and condoms offer great protection from all bacterial std's. I wouldn't worry
