STI Risk: Genital Rubbing btw. Female & Male
First, thank you to any medical professional that takes the time to read and respond to this post. After reading many posts here, I sense that the risk is low, but not none. But, I am no expert. Therefore, I am looking for the opinion of one. The focus here is on the "male," only because we don't know the female beyond what follows. Here is the situation:
05NOV: Genital rubbing, unprotected, between a 35 y/o female and 33 y/o male, duration = less than 2 minutes. No penetration in any orifice. Leading up to the interaction the male was in a monogamous relationship with another partner, long term girlfriend. Female claimed to have abstained from intercourse for the 18 months prior.
06NOV: 12 hours post: Male administered 1 gram Azithromycin
13NOV: 7 days post: Male has unprotected intercourse w/ his partner that he was previously "monogamous" with i.e. his long term girlfriend
15NOV: 10 days post: Male experiences intermittent, dull, ache in right testicle. On a scale of 1-10, pain is a 1. No swelling, discoloration, or discharge observed.
19NOV: 14 days post: Male experiences intermittent, dull, ache in right testicle. On a scale of 1-10, pain is a 1. No swelling, discoloration, or discharge observed. Administered 100mg of doxycycline hyclate to be taken twice a day, for seven days.
23NOV: 18 days post: Male has raised red bump 1.5" below anus, on the perineum
Additional info:
- The day the nondescript, intermittent, single testicle pain appeared, the male mentioned, it could have resulted intercourse with his girlfriend, a tight pair of pants, or his anxiety about the situation.
- While concerned about the raised red bump on the perineum, the male acknowledges it could have resulted from his athletic lifestyle. I.E. Time spent on various excises bikes, sauna, etc.
Based on this, the questions are:
1) What STIs is the male at risk for? And, what are the corresponding levels of risk? Example response: "HIV: Low" or "HPV: High" Further, please explain where relevant.
2) What STIs is the male's long term girlfriend at risk for? And, at what level of risk?
3) How concerning is the males "intermittent, dull, ache in right testicle?"
4) How concerning is the males "raised red bump 1.5" below anus, on the perineum?"
Thank you for the input / advice.

I'm just wondering, where did you get the antibiotics? Why did you take them? They are not benign. They affect your immune system. If you don't take them for a required period of time they can create resistant bacteria in your system. The likelihood you have any STD is way beneath minimal, so the real worry here is, did a doctor give you these drugs and if so, why? And if you got them somehow otherwise and gave them to yourself, you have a problem that needs a psychologist. Peace.

Now, some of the folks who answer questions here by this time probably know more than many medical professionals do, but just know this isn't a website where medical professionals give answers.

I'll do my best to answer your question, but I'm going to assume you and the other woman were unclothed with the genital rubbing. If you were clothed, none of it was a risk. STDs and HIV don't go through clothing.
1) What STIs is the male at risk for? And, what are the corresponding levels of risk? Example response: "HIV: Low" or "HPV: High" Further, please explain where relevant.
Assuming no penetration at all - no risk for HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, mycoplasma, trich, hep B.
Perhaps a low risk for herpes type 2, syphilis and HPV. If no sores were present, no risk for syphilis, which is uncommon in most developed countries.
2) What STIs is the male's long term girlfriend at risk for? And, at what level of risk?
See above - your long term gf can't have a risk if you don't have a risk.
3) How concerning is the males "intermittent, dull, ache in right testicle?"
Not at all concerning. That could be anxiety, any of the things you mentioned, etc. If you want to get it checked, definitely do, but that would be for peace of mind. STD symptoms wouldn't be intermittent.
4) How concerning is the males "raised red bump 1.5" below anus, on the perineum?"
As far as STDs - not concerning. You should get it checked, though. It could be something else needing medical care.
Stop taking meds for things you haven't been diagnosed with. That creates resistance, and if you need to test for peace of mind, now you need to wait at least 2 weeks after finishing the doxy to test to get accurate results.
Any testing you do would be for peace of mind - I don't see a big need to test here.
