Am wondering

Hiya I'm doing exceptionally well with my ocd, at the moment.  And enjoying life. I'm not really worried but wanted to check to be sure. I have been with my girlfriend for fourth months. We started having sex and was using a condom although I can't say for certain whether vagina fluids came into contact with my penis etc or vice versa but for penetration we always used a condom.

Then she got tested few weeks ago and was all clear, so we started unprotected sex. I guess my ocd flared up a bit as I suddenly thought what if her body fought off some stds just as she did the test but long enough to pass them onto me. Although I guess I was as safe as possible but I guess it's possible but unlikely right.

And feedback appreciated

I appreciate your response but I'm wondering whether this is a genuine concern or ocd. I assume there is a chance but I just can't work out whether I'm being ocd and irrational or actually I have a valid reason to be concerned.

I thought i did everything to be safe and I think I have am I obsessing over nothing. Any advice appreciated thanks

Your extra information is appreciated, since you said "we started unprotected sex".  As long as she was/is on "the pill", you should be fine, if you can trust that she is truly on "the pill"?

I am grateful but my question is a bit different to these answers if u know what I mean :)

I only stopped using condons after she was tested and she also was on the pill so pregnancy isn't an issue. She tested all clear before we had sex unprotected so is it safe to assume I'm worrying for no reason or is it possible she could have had an std and then fought it off before her test but long enough to pass it onto me
Thanks

There is a thin line between OCD and cautiousness, specially with potential to get STD. So to be overcautious is quite in order. I am 84 and I do get a label of  OCD. It does keep me safe from unnecessary gambles.

Not just for STDs but also to avoid pregnancies, use a condom for all intercourse.
