Is There Any Medication For Males To Avoid STD Within 24 Hours Of Sex?

I had sex last night with a paid escort and i have a doubt that the condom tore while the session, but it was not confirmed. Now i am scared about the infection, i called up the girl today morning and confirmed with her if she is normal and not infected or so, she had a positive reply for the same. Still i do not want to take a chance, if there are any pre medication or so to stop the infection as it is not even 24 hours from that point of time.Pls suggest

Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Frankly speaking there is nothing that you can do to prevent an STD is you acquired one.
The only thing you can do now is to screen for possible STD's and get treated for in case you test positive.
Treatment of STD's is not presumptive unless one of the sexual partners is a confirmed case of an STD. e.g vaginal discharge in a sexual partner warrants treatment of all sexual contacts within the past month for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Similarly if one of the sexual partner has syphilis it is appropriate to treat all sexual contacts within the preceding 3 months.
I suggest screening for HIV and syphilis (VDRL/RPR) at 1 month irrespective of symptoms or signs. It should be repeated at 3 months for a conclusive result.
Herpes can be tested for by an ELISA test as early as 2-4 weeks after possible infection to look for circulating antibodies against Hsv.
Moreover, if you notice any urethral discharge, burning sensation, erosions or ulcers, or warts/ growths in the genital region you most get yourself checked with a venereologist.

Always practice safe sex with a condom!
