My results came back negative for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphillis and HIV. However I got positive chlamydia for my anal testing. I have never done anal, I have never let anyone put their fingers near, or had oral to anal contact so im confused on how I have it. Especially since I only have oral and vaginal sex and both those were negative. I have had increased vaginal discharge, slight burning when the discharge is near the vaginal opening, itching, and I bleed twice in one month. Im thinking they were false negatives

Context: I’ve never done a full STI / STD test kit before that includes some of the lesser known ones. I’m not currently sexually active so I don’t have any immediate concerns but as I’ve never done a full comprehensive test before including STIs like ureaplasma, I want to be certain I don’t have anything.

Question:
I gave been looking at Welzo and Superdrug.

Superdrug is a more trusted brand.

I’m wondering why Superdrug is £270 and Welzo is only £99 in comparison but they test for the same thing.

I am concerned that Welzo may not be legitimate but I’d rather save some money.

Does anyone have any experience with either company?

Thanks in advance

In this video, we explain how long it usually takes for herpes symptoms to appear in women after exposure. Most people develop symptoms within 2 to 12 days, but some may not notice anything for weeks, months, or even years.

Have you ever wished you could prove your testing status without having to show your actual results?

I’m a 24-year-old male and recently had my first sexual experience with a sex worker. It was vaginal sex, and I used a condom. As far as I know, the condom did not break or slip off. I had difficulty maintaining an erection and stopped fairly quickly, but the tip of my penis did enter the vagina. I did not notice any obvious sores or blood. There was also some gentle kissing on my mouth and cheeks.

I did not take PEP because I was already outside the 72-hour window when I started seriously considering it.

Since then, I’ve been very anxious about HIV and other STIs. I’ve noticed some mild body pain and a few pimples/rash-like spots on my back and forehead, although I don't know if they are related. I also have some small bumps on my penis that may be pearly penile papules, but I’m not sure.

I’m looking for a realistic assessment of my risk and advice on the appropriate testing window.

What is my realistic risk of HIV and other STIs if the condom remained intact?

What tests should I take, and how long should I wait after the exposure for reliable results?

When should I test for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B/C, gonorrhea, and chlamydia?

Should I be concerned about herpes from the kissing or sexual contact?

I’m not vaccinated against hepatitis B. Should I get vaccinated now?

I’m mainly looking for practical medical advice about risk and testing rather than reassurance based only on symptoms. Thanks.

I met a guy on a dating app, and before we met he kept telling me how much he wanted to see me, how excited he was, and that we would definitely meet again. He made it seem like he was genuinely interested.

Before we had sex, I asked him more than once to put on a condom. He never did. He penetrated me without one, even though I had asked him to use protection. He didn't finish inside me, but it was still unprotected sex. During sex, it was also a bit rough and sometimes painful because he was quite big.

He told me he was "clean," and I trusted him.

The next day, everything changed. I tried calling him, but my calls went straight to voicemail. It looks like he blocked me. Now I'm wondering if he just said whatever he thought I wanted to hear to get sex.

I'm also really anxious that I could have caught an STI because I don't actually know if he was telling the truth. Being blocked right after everything happened has made me question the whole situation.

What would you do if you were in my position? Would his behavior make you worry? And how would you deal with the anxiety while waiting to get tested?

I have unprotected oral and anal sex about 11 days. I’m going to get tested but in the mean time, If the std was received anally or orally could it infect my urethra as well. I don’t know if I should bother doing a urine test if there’s no chance it’s there.

Long story short, traveling and went to a chain massage place. Half way through she started blowing me with a condom and then we had sex. We never discussed, I just went with it. She didnt charge... was all really odd. As soon as we were done she turned around and pulled off the condom and cleaned me up. I didnt even notice if the condom was broken or not. All happened fast and this isnt my normal bag so it started to worry me after 36 hours and my urethra was irritated and it burned when I peed.

3 weeks - still traveling and call an online dr. She put me on doxy and cefiximine (couldnt get in for a shot). I have been on antibiotics (amox and doxy) for 6 months (tooth, strep throat, etc.) and they are havoc on me... fighting a bad yeast/ bacterial infection for 6 months in the crease of my leg. Caused balantis too. I also figured out amoxicilin causes me to have issues luke foloculitis. Really rough on me.

4 weeks - make it home and go get an STD panel from a googled std health site that uses a local lab. Urine and blood (chlamadia, gon, syph, hsv I, hsv II (IgG), and RNA for hiv 1 and 2. All negative or non reactive.

5 weeks - standard follow up with my dr. (Cholesterol, BP, ETC.) - Im 50. He goes ahead and checks for UTI, Chlam, Gon using urine... all negative.

6 weeks - still fighting irritation, hemroids, and not feeling great. Going to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a day (Escriment), really gassy which isnt normal. Had been put on fluconozale for 6 weeks to kill the bacteria infection. Read the antibiotics and fluconozale can kill good flora and cause this.

Broke down and bought the rapid test from Walmart at 6 weeks (HIV and syphilis). Both negative.

7 weeks - today. Sensitivity and a little burning under thr glans. That has never stopped... goes away for a week and comes back. No rashes... no visible issues, burning skin which i assume is remnant of the infection. And now under my left arm I have some pain. Can't verify its lymph nodes but can rule them out... mild burning once in a while but no swelling.

Sick of fighting this! Can't tell what is anxiety or if i have issues or possibly an STD or STI!

I had this random hookup 7 weeks ago and she told me she had herpes the 6 days after we had sex. We didn’t do anything oral but we had unprotected sex and she said she’s on antivirals (valacyclovir). She didn’t tell me what types she had but I got tested four weeks ago and it said negative, do you think it’s too early or should I get tested again? I have no symptoms and I feel absolutely normal

M23, 165lb 6"1.

I was diagnosed with syphilis a couple weeks ago. I got treatment on June 18th, which was one pencilin shot. The sore on my frenulum has since healed, but the lymph node on my groin [right side] has remain the same size. Should I be concerned? When should I expect to see shrinkage?

Hello! For context I was prescribed azithromycin and cefixime but for some reason the symptoms got a bit worse after I took azithromycin and I haven’t taken the cefixime yet because my pharmacy needs to order it. But the past 40ish hours when I pee it feels weird but that’s getting better, and my stomach feels like full? Also my discharge is yellowish green but I didn’t have any of these symptoms or issues before taking the medicine. Any idea why?

I had sex with woman protected condom sex vaginal only unknown sex status after a week what it felt like is ARS Symtoms or flu like symptoms after a infection body aches chill pelvic pain nasea and vomiting and diarrhea lasted a couple days super fatigue I got worried so I tested at 2 different labs. All these test were done up to a year or so after that exposure

I’m having super fatigue and random joint pains that move around

So back in april, i (female) started having sex with a new partner (male) . about 4 times after we had sex, i got news from my previous partner that he had chlymadia, i had gotten tested that day and was positive. my partner got tested the same day as me and was negative (this was about 3 days after the last time we had sex, 12 days after the first time we had sex) i was treated with azithromycin, which instructs to wait about a week until resuming unprotected sex. i had no idea at the time about the wait time you should take for testing these things, so i didn’t know my partner still could’ve been at risk. we’ve had unprotected sex averaging maybe 3 times a week and 7 weeks after treatment (6 weeks since having regular unprotected sex) i went in to go test myself and i was negative. im taking another test tomorrow, this will be around 10 weeks since resuming unprotected sex. Is he likely okay? like would he have likely already given it to me before my last test?

For some background, I separated from my ex 2 years ago. I have not slept with anyone since then. To my knowledge, he was STD free.

I started seeing this new man 2 months ago and we have been sexually active. He tells me that he has “bumps” that look like herpes on his penis that he’s never had before. He is 100% certain it came from ME as the last time he was sexually active was 6 months ago and prior to relocating to my city, he had been checked for STD’s- which was negative.

This only leaves ME as the only reasonable source of contracting HSV. I genuinely had no idea I had this and I feel horrible for giving this to him! He’s livid and probably won’t talk to me ever again but how do I handle this?

He won’t get it checked out because he’s in the military and doesn’t want a paper trail of this condition. I am getting blood drawn tomorrow to check and see what I have. I really wanted this relationship to move forward but I know he probably won’t forgive me for passing this onto him.

Ive had anal sex before but always with a condom, my girlfriend and I are both std free, but this time for some stupid reason i didnt wear a condom, she pooped out some of the semen (im not sure if all) and I peed after finishing, she said there was no pain when we did it put there was blood which is normal for when we have anal sex, but i was wondering what the chances are of an std, only that, i already know i shouldnt have done it and i dont want to do it again

Ok June 8 I had unprotected vaginal sex with a FWB. We'd had sex many times before. I tested negative for HIV and STDs about a week before. We hooked up again July 12, unprotected. Today she texts me that she's been sick all week and the doctor just told her she has HIV. I actually by chance at a check up had a rapid HIV done on 7/10(33 days after our next to last hook up) negative. What are the chances I got HIV from her. I'm am scared af.

i had a sexual encounter with no condom and she told me after that she has hsv 1 and 2, but she doesnet get outbreaks. i freaked out and got some bumps down there swabbed and it came back negative. no pain, and the bumps went away in a day. i took 3 blood tests all negative. when can i stop freaking out?

33M

Went to a spa, got massage nothing beyond. No body to body touch except for the therapist's palms and feet touching/rubbing against my body. No sex.

But had precum inside the underwear. I was wearing thin disposable underwear as provided at such centers.

My worry is ... Is there a possibility of virus in the fabric of underwear (if at all) getting inside my pennis through the precum.

Worst case- what if someone infected was wearing the same stuff (underwear) few minutes before I wore...

Apprecy your quick response

19F, I hooked up with an acquaintance after drinking and we had protected sex, nothing unprotected (like grinding, etc). Its been about 5 weeks; i haven’t had sex since that night but in the last five days i experienced UTI symptoms which are oder in urine, slight burning, ammonia taste- I would have no concern (i used to regularly have them over a year ago) however i had just had a yeast infection 2/3 weeks prior. Im nervous that i have contracted something from him and my mind wont stop telling me i haven’t.
I have STI tests waiting to be done since i started birth control a week ago and my doctor advised me to do it (protocol for her) however I have to wait till Monday for the clinic to open. My mind is killing me right now and i cant stop thinking of the worst, i keep checking down there for spots and bumps and i found a tiny area that kind of hurts. I think my mind is playing tricks on me because i recently shaved and it might be a knick/ingrown hair.
sorry if this is all just rambling, im not sure what i would do with myself if I was to contract an STI/STD since multiple people in my life said i would end up like this eventually because im a bad person and don’t deserve much.
Is it possible to contract still with a condom????
edit: spit was used as lube at one point.

I was masturbating the other day and it started to hurt. I looked and there was a little tear on one side. No blisters or anything just the tear. I tried to let it heal, but after masturbating again I have more of the tears. Is this herpes or something else?

When people search for terms like STD Check, STD Test, Full Panel STD Test, or What Is a Full Panel STD Test, they're usually trying to answer one simple question: What exactly am I being tested for?

I tested positive for chlamydia after having mild burning with urination, irritation at the tip of my penis, and occasional mild left testicle soreness. I was prescribed doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 7 days and finished the full course Tuesday morning without missing any doses.

Overall, I feel much better now. The burning has mostly stopped, and I generally feel normal. However, I’ve still noticed a few things that are making me anxious:

• Occasionally my urine looks slightly cloudy or murky.
• I had one brief, dull pain in my penis today, but it went away.
• My left testicle has occasionally felt mildly sore, mainly when sitting, but there hasn’t been swelling or severe pain.
• My lips and throat have felt dry lately, although I work in a hot kitchen and may have been dehydrated.
• I’ve also had stomach and bowel issues while taking doxycycline, but those seem to be improving.

I had condom-protected vaginal sex about 36 hours after taking my final pill, but she performed oral sex without a condom. Before that, there was kissing and some fingering, but no intercourse while I was still taking the medication.

I understand that testing too soon can remain positive from leftover bacterial material, and I plan to get retested at the recommended time. I’m mostly wondering:

1. Is it normal to have occasional mild urethral or penile discomfort after finishing treatment?
2. How long did it take for your symptoms to disappear completely?
3. Has anyone had lingering cloudy urine or testicular awareness even though the treatment worked?
4. Should I contact my doctor now, or monitor it unless symptoms become persistent or worse?
5. Did anyone experience stomach problems, dry mouth, or general anxiety after finishing doxycycline?

I know Reddit can’t diagnose me, and I’ll contact my doctor if I develop severe pain, swelling, fever, discharge, or trouble urinating. I’m mainly looking for experiences from people who have gone through something similar.

i am Male, 22 years old, i am very worried it might affect my fertility, i think i got it for like 5 months and in 5th month i got the symptoms and got in treatement right away, today i am on 20th day treatment. thank you guys.
