                                            I also had burning sensation in my lower abdomen which have gone since i have started antacid and other medication. I am confused if it is also sign of the gonorrhea or just due to acidity.
I suggest test for genital herpes; Your risk of acquiring gonorrhea is nil
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query and I have noted down your concern. I have also reviewed the attachments.
I don't think your symptoms are due to gonorrhea.
Gonorrhea in males usually presents as frankly purulent urethral discharge and burning micturation and pain on passing urine.
Moreover since you sexual act was a protected one so actually there is no risk of acquiring gonorrhea from that particular sexual encounter.
As far as the risk of acquiring other STDs from your recent protected sexual encounter with transgender is concerned, it is only for genital herpes and genital warts and therefore I suggest you to test for genital herpes.
Your test for gonorrhea or chlamydia most likely would turn out to be negative simply because your sexual contact was condom protected.
Your symptoms are non-specific and are not related to STD, and therefore I suggest that you visit a physician for all these symptoms which seems to be related to something else rather than due to this particular sexual encounter. Some of your symptoms also seem to be related to anxiety.
Regards
 Also there was unprotected oral sex involved which i missed to write but anal sex was protected
ELISA for Hsv type 1& 2 (IgG and IgM)
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You may test for genital herpes by an ELISA test for Hsv type 1 & 2 (IgM and IgG). Oral sex too carries a risk of herpes but it is not a common risk factor as far as the other STDs are concerned.
Regards
