Hi,
As my username suggests I am an idiot... I would like to say now, to anyone reading, I have never felt so bad about anything I've ever done in my life.
Just over a week ago, I had unprotected sex with a girl I barely know. Both drunk.
We work together (remotely) are both in long term relationships, and I am fairly confident she will not be 'high risk' for various reasons, but I have been feeling 'unusual', and am concerned. I am hoping this is just the guilt and anxiety, both of which are as high as they have ever been. I have never ever done anything like this before, and never will again.
I am currently (and have since the incident) refraining from sex with my partner, but this is going to become very problematic soon without telling her. We have been together a long time and have not used condoms for years.
I have contacted a local STI testing center and have an appointment, but the earliest they will see me is still another 5 days away.
In a blind panic (I am prone to panicking), I found some antibiotics from about 3 months ago in the cabinet and took them all, in the following doses:
Amoxicillin 1 gram all at once then two doses of 500mg over the next 24 hours
I have some questions, if anyone could help:
1) What are the actual 'real world' risks/likelihood of any infection? Two people, in long-term relationships, one indiscretion. I can't *guarantee* she is this way, but I think she is, and I certainly am.
2) Will the antibiotics I've already taken have any effect, good or bad?
3) At what stage will sexual contact with my partner be possible? I know this may depend on what treatment, if any, I receive, but an idea of timescales would help. I intend to beg the doctor for as many shots as possible, regardless of risk factors.
Thank you for any help...
