Paranoid Encounter

[Paranoidguy12345]

So I’m a bit of a hypochondriac, gay guy and the following happened on a night out at a bar.

1.) Some drunk guy hit on me, tried kissing me. He touched my mouth and noticed he had been touching his penis. (No idea fluid situation, it was flaccid)

2.) Same guy tried kissing me and his saliva got on my lips.

3.) I was too short for the urinal, my penis touched then rim of the bowl

4.) Neighboring person peeing splashed and it got on my penis.

I ended up leaving, because of anxiety. I waited 4 days and got a gonorrhea & chlamydia test. Results, thankfully, came back negative.

Being a bit of a hypochondriac, should I test again? Also, is there any risk of catching anything else from those encounters? (HPV, HIV, Syphilis, etc…?)

I’m mostly worried about encounter #1

Thanks!

There is absolutely no risk for ANY STD from any of this.

The only way you'll ever get an STD is from oral sex, vaginal sex or anal sex, or unclothed oral to genital contact, genital to genital contact, or genital to anal contact, with heavy rubbing/grinding.

Even if guy #1 had his penis out (what kind of bar is this?) and touched your mouth, there is no risk.

If you kiss someone, you could get oral hsv1, if you don't already have that. That's a very common virus, and not considered an STD.

Do you talk to anyone about your anxiety? You might consider doing that.

So my mind goes to a million places and post pandemic in just more of a hypochondriac I guess. My mind is stuck here:

If the guy who touched his penis, touched my mouth and had any fluid on there or say a drop of pre-ejaculate on his finger and it entered my mouth, how would that be different than oral sex transmitting an STD?

Does oral sex mean repetitive long term physical contact and being exposed to much more fluids in my mouth vs. being orally exposed to potential single droplet of moisture (whether it be sweat or pre-ejaculate?)

I had no semen in my mouth by any means. I’m just thinking all the “what ifs” which is causing so much anxiety. Then I read other posts and wonder if I shouldn’t have done a urine STD test and need to go get an oral swab test instead?

… thanks for your response BTW. I’m racing through my mind, ruling out all possibilities and also haven’t ruled out the main underlying issue might be my anxiety.

What if the guy had herpes or HIV?

Oral sex means pre-ejaculate fluid  - and presumably pathogens - get IN your mouth. You'd have prolonged exposure. They would enter your throat.

Sweat doesn't transmit STDs.

I said any STD - that means herpes and HIV. It means you had no risk for any STD. STD means sexually transmitted disease. You have to have the "sexually" part in order to get one. You did not.

You only need urine STD tests if your penis was in someone's mouth, vagina or anus. You didn't need those tests, and you do NOT need oral swabbing. They will swab your throat and nothing entered your throat. Nothing entered your mouth.

You had no risk for anything.

Yes, your anxiety is the issue.

Also, it’s been 2 weeks since and I have no symptoms. Mild tickle in my throat, but I think it’s because I switched from cigarettes to trying vaping to quit smoking.

Still paranoid this encounter could lead to an STD. (Again, I tested 4 days later for Gon/Chlam. & results were negative)
