My stupidity and Freaking out
I am a 37 year old white male, married with two children.
About a week ago I visited a "modeling studio" and used its services. The studio is in the Dallas Texas area and the model was also white and I would say she was at least my age, perhaps older. She said she had recently relocated from Florida.
I had a unlubricated Trojan condom on when the model entered the room and received a Blowjob from her.
Prior to sex I sprayed some alcohol (which she had brought into the room when she entered) on myself and removed the first condom and put on a new lubricated Trojan-enz. The condom was still all the way at the base of my penis when I pulled out, and seemed to be intact though I didn't spend any time checking it.
I have a pain in my urethra that I started to notice 2 days ago (6 days after event) and it has gotten more noticeable the past 2 days. I think I did everything necessary to protect myself but if I managed to get what could be NGU/Gonorrhea/chlamydia or whatever is causing this pain I am worried I may have had the chance to catch other things as well.
I visited my family doctor for a sinus infection yesterday and got prescribed 3 500 mg tabs of Azithromycin to take daily. I read that on single 1g dose of Azithromycin is being used as a treatment for the various forms of Urethritis so I doubled my first dose yesterday and figure this will cure what is causing that discomfort. As you can imagine the stress of "what if" is still freaking me out.
I visited a pro long ago (9 years?) before our children were born and admitted it. My wife forgave me and I apparently didn't remember all of the stress and misery it caused because I now did it again. I am confident if I admit it this time I will lose her and my children.
My questions
Is 6 days a reasonable time for a STD to start causing me discomfort?
Can you figure how I managed to be exposed and if so what were my exposure risks to something more serious like Herpes and HIV?
I am planning on getting tested for HIV in 5 more weeks which I understand to be good 95% of the time. Another 6 weeks after that I plan on getting tested again. I am not certain how long I can avoid sex without raising suspicion though. We don't have sex often, but 3 months is pushing it.
Thank you for your service, and hopefully this time I will learn my lesson and not make this mistake again

Thanks for the support friend! I hope the Zoloft helps you out.
I am in tears often and broke down earlier. I am so scared of losing my children. I can't wait for my son to mature so I can take him backpacking and flyfishing with me.
I might look into a more rapid way of testing for HIV as opposed to ELISA. I want to look into RNA by PCR or whatever it is called. I need somewhere I can pay cash is all, I don't care how much it costs.
I am also very worried about the treatment and resistance. I took 2 500mg Azithromycin and then 1 500mg Azithromycin the next day ten days after exposure. That should have cleared up the chlamydia but it seems it didn't.
I have had bad reactions to some fluoroquinolone antibiotics in the past as well. I suppose after this course of meds is up I might need to get tested again in a week, and then wait another week for the bug to develop in the petri dish.

The PCR testing for HIV is only a few days ahead of antibody testing, so its not really worth the money. It also has a higher rate of false positives.
I'm confused as to how your tests were negative on Friday, and positive today, or why you even called today to get results that you got on Friday. I'm also really confused as to how you got either of these when using a condom. Add to that that, you had taken azithromycin.
Given all this, I'd ask to see the results and make sure they read them right, etc.

Thank you very much for the reply Aj
I was told on Friday at the clinic everything looked good, but they gave me a card with a number to call back in 6 days. After I gave them my number they also requested my name to confirm. I assume the wait was normal procedure? I figured perhaps they allow a culture to work its magic to get a better concentration than could appear right away to eliminate the false negatives that can happen with urine tests. I had blood drawn, supplied urine, and the swab.
To replay how I decided I might have been exposed: Unlubricated condom was used while the CSW performed oral on me. I fingered the CSW while she did this.
When we were going to have intercourse I switched to a lubricated condom as I understand them to be safer. I initially started placing it on inside out and then reversed it. I believe I contaminated the inside with the bacteria from my hand since I fingered her and didn't wash my hands.
I will avoid the PCR if a false positive is more likely. I guess I really need to wait the 13 weeks then.
I will ask about the conflicting results tomorrow. I am going to request Doxy for the chlamydia if possible and see what they give me for the gonorrhea.
Thanks again, you are an angel

I got treated with an injection of Rocephin and was given a week of Doxycycline. She initially was going to give me the Azithromycin, I am really glad I knew and mentioned I had already taken it. Hopefully I tolerate the Doxy well.
I asked why I showed clean last Friday but was later shown as infected and she said sometimes it takes a while in culture for them to see it. I am very glad this clinic did both. The Nurse practitioner was as confused as comments here are as to how I got infected since I had a condom on anytime the CSW touched me at all, so I am still going with my theory I contaminated the condom inside with the hand that I fingered her with. It has to be that or the condom broke without me realizing, and I am definitely hoping it was the former and not the latter.
Now I just have 9 weeks to wait until my second HIV test. UGH
Thanks all for being here and your support

Contaminating the condom with your hands would be highly unlikely, but then again, everything about this is unlikely, isn't it? ;)
If you have a hard time tolerating the doxy, try eating with it.
