Question 1

if both partners don't have stis is it possible to still get an sti because of unprotected sex ?

Accepted Answer

No: All STDs are transmitted person to person. So if one has an std, they got it from another person, whether it's your partner or not.

Question 2

just had unprotected sex 6 days ago and again today different partners. when should i get a std check?

Accepted Answer

Whenever new partner: Whenever you have a new partner, you should both be screened for STDs. That will only tell you your current status, but is a good place to start. Use condoms EVERY TIME you have sex to help protect yourself and your partner. Be sure to use an effective birth control method as well if you don't wish to get pregnant at this time.

Question 3

i tested negative for std's 4 months ago and have had continued unprotected sex with the same man for 5 months. if he has not had any other partners am i still std free or should i retest?

Accepted Answer

You should be STD: free,if only 1 partner and he is the same partner you had when you were tested for STD''s. Hope this helps!

Question 4

is it a good idea to get std tests every 6 months if i have unprotected sex with many partners?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Or more often if you have an encounter that increases your concern.

Question 5

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 6

everytime i have unprotected sex with my partner i get a burning itch afterwards which lasts days. i've had std checks and not allergic to condoms etc?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: Sometimes the irritation from intercourse can cause itching/burning. Are you adequately lubricated? If not, consider using water based lubricants as a possible way to reduce inflammation

Question 7

say if u had unprotected sex with someone who does not have any infected area/sore can u still get std ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The presence of a STD is not defined by a visible sore, although that can help. Many can exist in a carrier state in those infected and be spread to unsuspecting contacts. Chlamydia, HPV ,syphilis and sometimes gonorrhea can all be passed by asymptomatic carriers. Condom use can decrease risk, but is not fully protective.

Question 8

should i get an hpv vaccine? in 29, male, and have had lots of sex partners, i always use condoms, for the most part. i have had unprotected sex with older female. std wise in clear?

Accepted Answer

Get HPV vaccine: Condoms do not prevent HPV infection.
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 9

if my partner(s) and i test clean for stis and i have an iud is it safe to have unprotected sex on my period?

Accepted Answer

: The IUD.is quite effective in preventing pregnancy although not 100%. I assume you and your partners have been tested for HIV, syphilis,gonorrhea and chlamydia which I regard important std's to be tested for regularly.

Question 10

slight itching and fishy odor later in the day the same day of unprotected sex. would stis present that quickly, or is this more likely bv? partner and i discussed having been tested and both being clean; offered to let each other see results.

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: No infection, STDs or any other, can start to cause symptoms in less than 24 hours. Preexisting BV is much more likely. Among other things, fishy vaginal odor more noticeable after sex is one the most common symptoms of BV. BV is often triggered by other STDs like gonorrhea, chlamyida, and trichomonas, so you could test positive. Good idea for both to be tested and share your results. Good luck!
