STI symptoms after receiving oral

[Jeffrie]

I started to receive oral sex at a massage parlor. I stopped her when I realized she was doing so without her using a dental dam or condom on me. The oral sex lasted less than 3 minutes. I did not ejaculate.
We did have intercourse afterwards with a latex condom.
About 5 days afterwards, I started having burning with urination (which later became a constant burning sensation) followed by a clear watery discharge and what felt like swelling in my groin lymph nodes. No fever.
I went and got tested, negative for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
As a precautionary measure, I was given Rocephin injection and placed on 7 day course of Doxycycline.
24 hours after starting the antibiotics, groin nodes returned to normal. 32-46 hours afterward, burning stopped and I felt fine.

I was on the Doxycycline for 5 days when I started experiencing the watery discharge and burning with urination again.

I am planning on getting full STI testing at 3 month mark (to rule out pretty much everything). However, seeing symptoms seem to be coming back, should I be tested sooner, and for what?

Since it's still within the treatment period, I wouldn't worry too much yet, but you might be getting a fungal infection from the antibiotics.

Or you could have a urinary tract infection. Was your urine sent out for culture? I can understand why STDs would be everyone's first thought, but maybe it wasn't that.

It's Wednesday. I might give your doctor a call later today or tomorrow if it's not better. I noticed in another thread that you mentioned home testing. If you did that earlier, now would be a time to actually see a doctor since symptoms have returned. The home tests are great, and allow a lot of people to get tested who might otherwise not, and offer a lot of convenience, but sometimes, like now, you need a doctor.

Let us know how you are.

Nah, I recommend home testing of your asymptomatic

If you're having symptoms, I know some physicians may disregard home test results and require repeat testing, so I went straight to the doctor.
I guess it could be fungal, but seeing symptoms initially resolved after receiving antibiotic injection, I suspect it may be a resistant strain.
I suspect Gonorrhea due to time of symptom onset; but I'm unsure of when other stds start to show symptoms

When you tested for gonorrhea, did you wait an hour from your last urination, and give the first part of your urine stream?

It does sound like gonorrhea, but you tested negative. Your treatment is the proper treatment for it, and for chlamydia and NGU - it would cover all those, which have similar symptoms. They all show symptoms in about the same time frame, too.

If you go back to the doc, see if they can test your discharge and your urine. You'll get the most accurate results that way.  If they can do that, they should do the test of the discharge first, then you'll urinate.

They gave me 2g Azithromycin PO. I took it and burning has stopped (so far) and haven't had any burning today.
I am still having dribbling of urine after urination, but I don't feel random points of discharge.
I have a history of reactive arthritis/Reiter's Syndrome from a GI infection (in remission for several years now). I read that chlamydia can cause reactive arthritis, all I wondered if it flared mine up, causing the recurrence... but now that my symptoms have improved, I think it was just a resistant strain

Hey, I’m currently in a similar  situation  as you. Some symptoms are the same. I just have tonsillitis as I was giving oral sex. No unprotected oral sex.

I’m on two weeks doxycyline. Today is day 7 for me. I still have some symptoms. The tonsils now have less white spots than before and the swelling is slowly going down.

How did doxycyline work for you?

Jeffrie - you think it was a resistant strain of what - chlamydia? You might be right. How are you feeling now?
