Hi Lavab,

I have read your query with diligence. There is a definite risk of contracting STDs including HIV when there is sexual exposure with a stranger or unknown person.

In your case, I would suggest you be screened for the STD panel. You could get the following tests done:

- VDRL
- HIV ELISA
- Test for Herpes antigen and antibodies
- Urethral swab for gonorrhea and Chlamydia

I say you this - You have a choice to either take these tests or not.

She may have a STD and most of the STDs are asymptomatic. Therefore, you must take precautions before something goes wrong.

As you know, HIV is a dreaded disease. You may want to test only for this.

Lastly, always practice safe sex and take care not to spread any infection to others. Play it safe.

I hope this helps you. Take care!

Hi XXXXX

When there is pre-existing yeast infected part, the chances of viral transmission through vaginal fluids increases by almost 4 times.

I hope this is clear.
