Hello doctor,Three and a half weeks back I had a sexual encounter with another man that I did not really know. I was on top and used a condom and then I started giving him unprotected oral sex for about 20 seconds before I realized it was a bad idea. Three days after I was tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia and syphilis. The doctor treated me with two different antibiotics and a shot in my hip. Not sure if syphilis was treated but I know the other two were. All tests came back negative. Two weeks after I went to a testing facility and did a 10-panel STD test with four blood samples and a urine sample. Everything can back negative. I am still stressing out about this and keep thinking I feel pain in my testicles and the tip of my penis and also side aches. The pains are infrequent and come and go but seem to disappear when I am able to relax for the most part. Three weeks after I went and did the early detection HIV test with blood taken from my finger and that came back negative. I just cannot seem to stop worrying about this and it is mostly because I got back with an old girlfriend and had sex one and a half weeks after the encounter and am scared I could have passed something on to her. My biggest question I have is from this encounter what do I need to test for and when should I go get tested again so I can clear my mind of this?
Hello. Only concern is such cases is of HIV, and rarely of hepatitis B and hepatitis C, as other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases) are treatable and easily manageable, not life-threatening. So having antibiotics will cover a majority of STDs and the shot was probably Penicillin which will cover syphilis as well. As you are already tested negative for HIV although early after the encounter, the chances are less. However, to reliably tell that one is negative, test at 12 weeks should be negative. So you should get your HIV combo test (antibody plus P24 antigen, RNA test) at 12 weeks after the encounter. Also, you should get anti HCV antibodies and HBsAg antigen test to rule out other viral infections. So overall, chances appear to be less of any infections as of now (other than herpes), but the negative test at 12 weeks will give additional assurance.
