Question about possible exposer

[bradchan45]

Hello everyone
I am a 26 year old male who recently just got out of a 2 year relationship. A friend and i went down to tia juana mexico last friday on 4/12. there i had protected vaginal sex with a csw at a high end strip club. it only lasted 5 min. about half way through I pulled out and she began inspecting the condom. i told her i was not finished yet and i had not ejaculated which is what I thought she was looking for. there were no visible holes or tears that i could see and i did not feel like it had broke. then again i had been drinking a little. She didnt listen to me and removed the condom anyway and put a new one on anyway and we were done 2 minuts later. Im a little worried that there may of been a whole or tear that i had not seen?

About 2 days after the incident i started becoming sick with a sore throat and a stuffy nose as well as coughing up some sputum out of my lungs. and my right lymph node under my jaw is a bit enlarged. This has lasted for about the past few days. I did quite a bit of drinking and smoking over the weekend so i am wondering if that is the cause or if i have contracted something. i know that most STDs dont typically show symptoms this and have been trying to do some research. A little worried about HIV or Herpes. If there is any light anyone can shed on this it would be much appreciated. Ether way i am deff going to get a full panel done in a few weeks.

Thanks

protected sex is a risk for syphilis, hpv and herpes. you have to wait at least 6 weeks post encounter for syphilis testing and 3 months for herpes testing.  we don't have commercially available tests to cover the hpv testing base properly.

you really don't need tested for hiv from a one time protected encounter.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply you have been a great deal of help. I have still decided to get tested just to be safe. I'm going to wait another 3 weeks though and get an HIV DUO at the 4 week mark and a full panel just so I know I'm in the clear.

Much regards

You had a protected encounter and there wasn't any risk from it. Most commercial sex workers are often tested and do not want to risk catching anything on the job, not only for the customer's sake but their sake too. If there were any tears or damage done on the condom, you can be sure it wouldn't be a small one, it would have been an obvious big one. Her attitude about changing condoms on you pretty much is a big indicator she is also taking regard about her sexual health so the likelihood of anything being transmitted is none existent. Symptoms do not matter because there can be other reasons why you felt sick those two days. It could have been a garden variety bug you picked up, an occasionally cold, or the drinking you did because alcohol can do that sometimes.

When condoms break you can clearly see it as nothing but the ring is really left to hold on to. I would not be concerned with a STD.

Hi and welcome. Well you wouldnt get a STD in your throat from having protected vaginal  sex only  a low risk if you gave oral. Also you were at low risk for contracting herpes so i would not worry you got anything. But since she has sexual exposure to many people, i think your making the right decision for full testing but im sure all is ok as this is very low risk,
