I seem to have achieved the impossible. I’m still awaiting test results, but it looks like I either contracted gonorrhea or chlamydia without having vaginal or oral sex.
I took a few trips to the local massage shops and received happy endings.
I never request more than a hand job for this exact reason - fear of contracting a notifiable STI.
Worst time for it to happen (xmas/NYE). In normal times, lab work is a 48 hr turnaround.
I have to wait 8 days between discovering symptoms and receiving test results.
The symptoms which I have experienced are (14 days after the last encounter):
- yellow discharge from the tip of my penis
- pain while urinating (it was not excruciating like I’ve heard, but it is more than a light burn).
- diarrhea
No fever or bumps or ulcers or skin lesions. The tip was a bit red and you could tell the urethra was also a bit inflamed.
I guess my question is, is there any chance this is something else? Can you randomly get an infection affecting the urethra with such symptoms.
This is so unusual that my doctor was skeptical about my story.
But I did not have vaginal or oral sex and there’s no reason for me to be deceptive about that here.
And I realise I’m probably going to get grilled by contact tracers about this.
Whilst my symptoms have now gone away, this is a photo on the worst day:
Thanks for listening.
