Question : I had sex with a girl 2 days back and it was pretty rough. It was protected. She insists she has nothing. I am getting a burning sensation in my penis but not really pain.

Is this just a uti? I am pretty anxious and thinking about this all d time if i had a std

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be due to HIV and STD

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is too early to predict whether it could be a STD or not. But you had protected sex and there is no history of condom broken. So it is quite unlikely to be due to STD.
Burning sensation inside the urinary passage or outside?

Due to rough sex, abrasions could have occurred due to friction and inadequate lubrication. Nothing to worry, you will be alright and your discomfort will vanish within few days of washing. Avoid soaps inside foreskin. Better to have a screening for STD and HIV after 6 weeks. Till then avoid unprotected sex.
