Hepatitis Curiosity
I need to test for Hepatitis A,B and C if i received an oral sex without condom for like 10 seconds?Any risks of std's? I should test for something? (The woman is an escort)
So you risk was unprotected oral sex only, correct? And your first concern is hepatitis. Hep A is primarily from oral contact with fecal matter. So, you'd have to ingest fecal matter. Receiving oral sex is a no for Hep A as you ingested nothing. Hep B. That's more of a concern. That can spread with saliva. https://www.webmd.com/hepatitis/hepatitis-and-sex-frequently-asked-questions That is probably the biggest risk with regards to your hepatitis risk. Hepatitis C is spread through blood. Cuts? Blood in saliva? Those would be the risks there but it is a low risk. There are indeed other std's to look out for after receiving oral sex. Herpes, syphilis are two.

And i need to test for something? Should i worry?
Also if i made the full shots of hep b vaccine at birth should i worry about hep b?
I wouldn't worry about any of the heps if you got vaccinated for hep B.
Hep A is transmitted by fecal matter (poop), and is almost always transmitted by contaminated foods.
Hep C is transmitted by blood, and is almost always transmitted by sharing needles for drug use.
I'm going to give you the risks of unprotected oral sex, but most doctors don't think you need to test after one episode of it, and certainly not for like 10 seconds of it. I'm only telling you this for your future info. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
So receiving unprotected oral sex puts you at risk for syphilis, genital herpes type 1, gonorrhea and NGU. You are not at risk for HIV from receiving (or giving) oral sex.
I’ll explain all the risks for everything, but most experts don't think a single act of oral sex warrants testing. If you have a regular partner you're concerned about infecting, you might want to test, but you probably don't need to test unless you get symptoms.
Syphilis isn't that common, and your partner would have had to have a sore in their mouth to transmit it. You wouldn't see symptoms of this for 10-90 days, but the average is 21 days, and you'd get a sore called a chancre. This doesn't cause burning, pain, discharge, etc. You can test for this at 6 weeks. If you get symptoms, but test negative at 6 weeks, test again at 90 days, and get to the doctor as soon as you see symptoms.
If you don't already have herpes type 1 (think oral sores, like cold sores but not canker sores), then you could get genital herpes type 1 from receiving oral sex. This can happen even if the person performing oral doesn't have a sore, but it's more likely if they do. The time from infection to symptoms is usually 2-12 days, but the average is 4 days. You can test for this now, and then again at 4 months to make sure you don't have it. If you test positive now, it's a pre-existing infection that you had before this encounter. About half the adult population has this, and 90% don’t know it. Ask for a type specific IgG blood test.
You'd see symptoms of gonorrhea at about 2-5 days, and this would usually be a discharge, burning, etc. Some people don't get symptoms. You can test for this as early as 3 days, but 5 days is better. You can have a urine test or a swab test.
NGU (nongonococcal urethritis urethritis, sometimes called NSU, for non-specific) is an infection in the urethra that is caused by anything other than gonorrhea . This can be caused by normal mouth bacteria entering the urethra, and the symptoms and testing times are the same as gonorrhea.

Thanks for your help! You two and all who help people in hard moments like these deserve a statue! Also i have one more question.The vaccine of hepatitis B stays in the body for life, even if i made it at birth? I am 16 years old and i am from Romania. Thanks again for your answers
Yes, you will be protected for life from the vaccine. You will not get hep B.
