Hello, I need to get a better understanding of my risks. I had sex with someone i didnt know very well 6 days ago. After kissing and foreplay i received oral from her and then preformed oral on her. before we had protected sex she massaged my penis with her had which had been just previously pleasing her self with. I assume she had her own vaginal fluids on it, which she ended up toughing my Penis tip and shaft with before i put on a condom. After sex i saw the condom was still completely in tacked. I went to the clinc today, yesterday i noticed the tip of my penis was irritated and the end of my urethra was red and swollen. It burned slightly when i urinated as well a slight but noticeable difference in the way my penis and crotch area has been feeling. Today at the clinic i had my urethra swabbed as well as getting blood test for all other STI's I see on your website that there are accuracy windows for different STIs. Having only been 6 days since possible exposure. But having had all the tests done today. Do i need to be tested for all other STIs in coming weeks to be sure. In theory when would it be safe to have sex again knowing i wouldnt be putting anyone else at risk. As well what are my risks for HIV based on the situation?

It would be good to go for a follow up STI test. The tests you get depend on what happened at the clinic.

Gonorrhea and chlamydia are two STI that can cause burning when you pee. Most gonorrhea tests would show a positive result by 7 days. Most chlamydia would show up in a test by 2 weeks but sometimes this can take as long as 6 weeks.

Sometimes if you go to the clinic with symptoms of an STI they will give you treatment to cover gonorrhea and chlamydia. If this happened to you there is no need for further testing for these, just wait a week for the antibiotics to work. If they did not give you antibiotics I would recommend going back and repeating the test at 6 weeks.

With the blood tests e.g. syphilis, HIV etc… we find that most of these results are accurate by 6 weeks but can take up to 3 months for a final result. You could repeat the blood test at 6 weeks or wait and get them done at 3 months. Really depends on your individual situation.

In regard to when it would be safe to have sex again it really depends on what your initial test results at the clinic show and how your symptoms are going. I would recommend talking with the clinic that did the testing for you.

As most STI do not show symptoms it can be hard to know if you are putting someone else at risk until you get your final results from your STI testing. This can take up to 3 months for most blood tests. While waiting for these test results I would just recommend having sex in a way that would reduce your chance of passing something on. Have a look at our “Know your chances” web page, it provides information on your chances of getting or passing an STI depending on how you are having sex.

Also have a look at our “STIs at a glance” chart, it provides information on what symptoms to look for and how long you need to wait before getting tested (window period).

In regard to HIV risk, HIV is not commonly passed with the sex you described.
