Had Physical Relationship. Worry About Contracting Something?
Male, 21, 6 3 , 290, caucasion. I m seeking help. I had recieved oral from a girl approximately 2.5 weeks ago and I m worried that she may have had something. I m rather worried because I don t know her well. I feel normal, but is there anything I should be worried about or look for/ pay attention to for preventitive reasons?

Hi there.
Forgive me for being blatantly honest with you but your history does leave a lot to be desired & simply tells me that it is an anxiety driven scare more than any sexually transmitted disease.
However, for an unknown partner & if it still does bother you, objectively speaking, please do the regular STS tests at your local laboratory. Please ensure for best results that for HIV testing, a PCR test is done as it is early days yet & an ELISA will be inconclusive at best!
If you feel normal, relax...dont look for symptoms & signs that you may just find if you are so anxious about it. Be objective & do the tests.
In fututre, please remember prevention is better than cure & do practice safe sex with known or unknown aquaintences especially if it is just casual sex.
Good Luck & Godspeed!
