very worried and afraid
I had sex with a sexworker from Central Europe. I used a condom but it broke when I was attempting to enter for anal sex. I realized that something was wrong in anywhere between 2 to 5 seconds.the top of the penis was not covered and I probably entered her a little bit.
I am terrified that I contracted an STD. This was my only exposure. Do I need to get tested for HIV
I am considering getting tested for STDs. I know that I can find good and pricey clinics where I can test anonymously. But if I have something, then I would need treatment. I have the impression that once you need treatment there is no way to keep anonymity. I would have to see a doctor who would report the illness under my real name. Is this correct? the std clinics advertise testing anonymously, but they are rather vague on what happens when you test positive. Cam anyone explain what the case is?
Since my exposure I have not had relations with my wife, and frankly I do not plan to have them until I know I am clear of everything (and I cannot have them anyway due to guilt).
We all make mistakes and we all have regrets. All we can do is not repeat our mistakes and move forward.
Thanks. I should say that I appreciate that you are taking the time to answer questions from someone like me who obviously should have made better choices.
The mind is a powerful tool.
Even with pain, that would not be a symptom of a STD.

Thanks for the prompt answer. It is helpful to talk to someone. I will post in the forum for the HIV question.
Regarding the tenderness in my penis, it occurs between urination(s) and not during. But it is starting to feel more like pain than tenderness, especially when I sit. I wonder if this is in my head. It does feel real.

Post in the HIV forum. But in that forum we can't tell you how likely or unlikely.
Probably not a STD based on that symptom.

Yes, I know the testing times, thanks.
I would like to know how likely is I got HIV from this.
Also, I have a tenderness in penis at the top, but it does not burn when urinating, and have no discharge. Can this be an std?
