I was very drunk a month and a half ago and got a private dance from a stripper. I know that I didn't have sex with her, but I blacked out and I don't if I was touched. I think my pants were undone. For the last few days, I have been constipated, which I realize is not an STI symptom, but throughout this, I have had the very frequent urge to urinate. I also have a some mild lower back pain and lower stomach pain. No burning or itching, no discomfort in my penis. Should I be concerned about Chlamydia?

As it is impossible to know what happens to us if we black out, the only way to know for sure if you were in contact with an STI is to test.

You are right that the symptoms you are describing are not typical of an STI but the increased need to urinate maybe be related to a mild urethral irritation and this is a symptoms of an STI.

If you are at risk Chlamydia, you must also assume you are at risk for gonorrhea and Syphilis and as these do not always have symptoms, testing is the only way to know for sure. If you need help finding a testing clinic in your area, use our ‘Find a Clinic’ function (http://smartsexresource.com/get-tested/clinic-finder). Since this happened a month and a half ago your tests would be very accurate at this time but a follow up syphilis test after 3 months is recommended.
