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

Hi,
Thanks for teh qquestion..I was diagnosed with a NSU (DR. says might be chlamydia), she gave me 250mg tablets (4) of Azithromycin, not sure how to take them (labels confuse me) since they are only 4 tablets.
I didn't have symptoms went for hepatitis tes and tested negative for HIV, my results come later for otehrs....
Does anyone know how to take the 4 tablet Azithromycin, soem sites mention 3 or 6 so confused.
thanks,
Thank you for the responses.
I had both oral and vaginal sex, and during both I was protected. Sorry that was unclear in my initial post.
I still have the aches in my groin but am beginning to believe it is anxiety/guilt manifesting itself there. If it continues much longer I will see the doctor in case it is some sort of prostate problem that just happened to occur around the same time. I did have a prostate infection a year ago.
Do either of you (Daisy or Emma) know enough about treatment to say if 1g of Azithromycin (Zithromax) followed by 500mg the next day would generally cure Gonorrhea/Chlamidia/NGU? The fact this pain has continued even after taking that also makes me logically think that the pain is being caused by my freaking out; but it has been very hard for me to think logically the past 2 weeks.
I am not the most emotionally stable person to begin with; I think feeling the way I have been lately is what lead me to do this stupid thing, so I going to see a shrink soon. Perhaps my antidepressants aren't doing their job right anymore. My actions are obviously still my fault, but I want to do my best this doesn't happen again in another 5 or 10 years.
Thanks again to all whom have responded

You had protected sex, so your risk of acquiring an STD is low. If the condom remained intact, your chances of being infected with chlamydia and gonorrhea are zero for all practical purposes. NGU, which can be caused by a variety of things, is also very, very unlikely since you used protection. I am unsure if you also had vaginal sex - if you didn't, you are not at risk for chlamydia, since it's not spread through oral sex.
You didn't get HIV from this encounter. Latex condoms provide excellent protection. No further testing is needed.
If you had vaginal sex, there is some risk for herpes and HPV since the condom does not cover the entire genital region. However, while not perfect, a condom reduces this risk considerably. If you just had oral sex, there is a small risk for HSV-1, but if your partner did not have a visible cold sore, forget about it.
Urethral "pain" without discharge is unlikely to be a symptom of an STD. It might be your anxiety from this event magnifying your normal body sensations.
Good luck,
Em

It's very unlikey that you contracted an STD there is a slight chance with Herpes as condoms don't cover all areas,the usual time is 2 day to 2 weeks for symptoms to occur but unfortunately some people show none at all.....
You can't get HIV from protected sex even if she WAS infected so forget about that ....
It's most likely the alcohol that was sprayed on that has caused the problems
My opinion would be your risk was extremely low for any STD .... but if you feel you can't settle then having a Herpes test would help put your mind at rest you don't need an HIV test....

I completely understand what you are going through (very similar situation). Hope you can find comfort, albeit minimal, in the fact that you are not alone.
According to many of the people on this board, including the doctors your chances of getting an STD from a protected encounter are slim. My present concern from my prtotected encounter 2 weeks ago with a pro is that of gential herpes; which, can transmitted via skin to skin contact.
Best of luck
