Risk?

Hi all,

Just a bit worried about an incident and wondering what the risks are...

I visited a sex worker and we had mutual masturbation, I was wearing no condom. We had penetrative sex for a few minutes while I wore a condom and ejaculated inside this.

Are there any risks from the timescales involved and also the mutual masturbation? I would have touched myself after her, albeit briefly...

I was going to get a check just to be safe, but only worried about infecting my partner.

Thanks in advance..

Well the short exposure time and using a condom is really low risk and i would not be overly worried

So far nothing, know its early days. I didn't see any rash on her or any open lesions. Intercourse must have lasted 2 mins due to fear..

yes there would be a risk if you infact contracted herpes or syphilis to pass it to your partner. Often with herpes, which is the main concern here, there are not symptoms but if there is would be a blister type lesion anywhere in your boxer short area.

Sorry, forgot to ask, is there any risk of me passing on the infections (if any) in the next few weeks?

Testing for herpes would be 3 months post exposure and syphilis 6 weeks. the is not a test for hpv. But again overall low risk activity.

Hi, no risk with the masturbation and low risk with the penetrative vaginal and these would be for herpes, HPV and syphilis. Testing only recommended if you have a long term partner. But bottom line low risk.
