Question 1

does dr run test for std for men annual check up?

Accepted Answer

Not routinely: Std tests only performed if you as patient or dr thinks you have or are at risk.

Question 2

my man got checked for std and he didn't have any and i gave him oral sex and my throat hurts could it be that i put it too far down my throat?

Accepted Answer

Probably bruised: Oral and throat tissues are mildy flexible--built to pass a chewed bolus of food--not to receive traumatic thrusts from inflexible sources such as an erect penis. That can cause dangerous harm. A "deep throat" scene in a porn movie is there for shock effect and titillation--the highly sensitive tip of the penis receives no stimulation in dt. Use care & creativity instead of risk--you'll be safer.

Question 3

what is the cause of stds in men?

Accepted Answer

Infections: Std is an infection transmitted from one person to another.

Question 4

can men get false positives for std ?

Accepted Answer

POSSIBLE: Men and women can get false positives for std testing.
For example:  the specificity rate for enzyme immunoassay HIV screening tests indicates that, in 1, 000 HIV test results of healthy individuals, about 15 of these results will be a false positive!

Question 5

swollowinh men's cum when you know 100% they don't have an std, wgat could happen?

Accepted Answer

Nothing, no worries!: If it is certain there is no STD, then there is absolutely no health risk or problem from getting semen in the mouth or swallowing it. Even considering STDs, oral sex is safe sex -- not entirely free of STD risk, but low risk for all STDs (much lower than vaginal or anal sex) and virtually zero risk for some, including HIV.

Question 6

how do u find out if u got and std? and what are side effects for men? and how long dose it take to see the effects?

Accepted Answer

Get Tested.: With many stds, men may not have symptoms, so the only way to know if you are infected is to get tested.  Every std can effect you differently, but the more common stds can eventually lead to sterility and/or impotency.  Depending on the std, if symptoms are to appear, they may show up as soon as 24 hours after exposure to several years after the exposure.

Question 7

are stds more common in men?

Accepted Answer

Not overall: Overall, there are 3 times the number of STDs found in the us in women than men.  However, much of that could be because women are screened far more often than men because of gyn appts and testing.  Others like syphilis are 6 times more likely in men than women.  Just depends on the std discussed and the person.

Question 8

how accurate are std urine tests for men?

Accepted Answer

GC & Chlamydia: Very accurate for gonorrhea and chlamydia, but not used for most other infections.

Question 9

how should men be tested for std and aids?

Accepted Answer

Blood and Urine: A healthcare provider will order blood and urine tests for HIV and STD screenings after proper counseling and consent.

Question 10

what is bv? is it a std ? how can i provent getting it can men have it?

Accepted Answer

Bacterial vaginosis: BV is overgrowth of vaginal bacteria. Whether it's a true STD has been the subject of much research without clear answers yet. Probably it is usually sexually acquired, but not always. It's more common in women at risk for STD and other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas) often are present at the same time. It causes no symptoms in men. Condoms are good prevention.
