stds, chlamydia/gonhorrea

[nervous1973]

curious, re chlamydia and gonhorrea. I had unprotected sex apx 7 months ago, and have had no symptoms whatsoever since.  This week however, Ive experienced a slight discomfort in the ureathra that Id describe as a tingleing which is somewhat more noticeable durin urination. I also this week have had some what I assume to be somewhat viscuss discharge in the underwear. (small amount) color unknown.  I assumed this was a normal uti since its been so long.  Ive had no other noiceable symptoms or pains at all. Im just wondering, if this was an actual std relating from the unproected sex, wouldnt I have known before now?   btw, background, I drink very little water, mostly coffee, and because of my work, I freqently go many hours (6 to 10) with no restroom breaks, which I believe can lead to utis.

finally, Ive read that both g and c are bacterial type infections. so, not knowing the origin of the bacterias in quesion, is it not possible for them to develop without sexual contact like some other bacterias? or is it only transmitted?

btw, I went to the Dr today, they were limmited on their testing abilities but did a urine sample test which I was told would indicate an upper uti, but not always a lower uti. The test results were negative for the upper.  Theyre sending it for more extensive testing re lower and also c and g. Though the Dr indicated it would be unlikely for g or c to lay dormant that long, Id like to get some more opinions to consider while I wait. Thanks for reading.

Not much else you can do. I know, it's hard waiting for test results. It would be unusual that it would take 7 months for you to just now start having symptoms though.

it sounds like you are already getting proper testing done. continue to follow up with your provider as needed.
