Question 1

after having unprotected sex, i've been having pain while urinating, could this be simply a infection or a std? is the only way to know, waiting?

Accepted Answer

See below: Burning with urination (aka dysuria) suggests either infection (UTI or STD) or inflammation (e.g. Non-bacterial prostatitis). Post-sex simple UTI/bladder infection quite common in females but not in males and would be concerned about possible STD (chlamydia, GC) especially if discharge from penis or just prostate inflammation. Would recommend urinalysis, urine culture, and urine for GC/Chlamydia.

Question 2

hello doctors, after unprotected sex with a female whos std status is unknown: 28 days hiv 4th gen negative, 32 days hiv rna negative, 46 days hiv 4th gen negative, do i need to do any more test to rule infection? this is stressing me?

Accepted Answer

: If you have no symptoms then relax you should be OK. Relax. Next time wear a condom. Good luck

Question 3

can you catch a yeast infection from having unprotected sex? is there any stds or stis that cam lead to female yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Yeast: A yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted disease, but men can get it from their female sex partners. Up to 15% of male partners of women with vaginal yeast infections will develop itching, a mild rash on the end of the penis, or other symptoms.Sep 30, 2014

Question 4

itchy urethra during sometimes and after sometimes masturbation. i used to have unprotected sex. do you suspect std infection?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: Sexually active guys with any penis symptoms can get tested for some STD's. Normal masturbation does not cause urethral damage. Likewise, normal sexual intercourse does not cause damage. That means using good technique, and of course, as with all things in life, do everything in moderation. Even too much of a good thing can become a problem.

Question 5

i have a skin condition that i'm not sure what it is on my penis, i had unprotected sex with my girlfriend a month ago, then i noticed some redness and also flaky skin, is it std? or some skin infection? i have a picture i can show you

Accepted Answer

Penile rash: The large majority of penile skin conditions are not STDs, and these are not typical STD symptoms. If your gf has a vaginal yeast infection, that might be a possibility. This forum doesn't examine clinical photos. See a doctor, ideally a dermatologist. Or if you sign up for HealthTap's concierge service, a dermatologist may be willing to examine photos. In the meantime, this doesn't sound serious.

Question 6

every time i have unprotected sex my partner gets a bad infection. either bv or yeast, sometimes both. all std tests are negative. i use dove the white and have pretty good hygiene. i have blood in urine and high white cells in blood. thanks ?

Accepted Answer

Blood in urine: Blood in the urine is indicative of either a urinary tract infection, kidney problem or prostate infection. Have a  Urologist MD evaluate these issues to determine if they are a contributing factor in  your partner's recurrent infections..

Question 7

hello, ive been having unprotected sex with a partner and recently its been burning when i pee and my penis is itching like crazy. i also have a bump right above my penis where my pubes are. i fear this could be an std/sti or yeast infection. help!!?

Accepted Answer

: You need to see a Dr and get tested for STD including herpes, HIV, Syph and gonorrhea.  He or she should also be checked.

Question 8

how can i prevent an std after i have unprotected sex?

Accepted Answer

Too late: After sex, is exactly the wrong time to think about pretection from getting an std.  The only sure way to not get an std is to not have sex.  That includes oral and anal sex which also have risks.  Use protection always and have sex with limited partners and have each get tested often to know their status.

Question 9

can i get std from having unprotected sex even if my partner and i are both virgins? also i keep getting jock itches. is there a prevention for it?

Accepted Answer

Tinea? Yeast? Other?: It is not possible to have an STD unless one person or the other has had sex with someone else. "Jock itch" is not a term normally used in women, only men. Have you been diagnosed with tinea (same fungus group as jock itch in men)? Yeast (entirelydifferent)? Neither yeast nor tinea is sexually transmitted. Don't assume any diagnosis based only on symptoms; get professional care.

Question 10

having unprotected sex with two different men, i always get yeast infections. why? and what can i do to prevent it?

Accepted Answer

Chronic Yeast : There could be several causes for this. It could be coincidental to sex...And be from something else you are ingesting. It could be irritation from the lubricant or the condom.  

You may be allergic to something and the irritation in the vaginal cavity reacts with a yeast overgrowth.

Your gynecologist may need to do some testing and to put you on effective treatment.
