A member asked:
Can anal sex give me and infection in my anus if so what are the symptoms not std but infection ?

Yes: If sex gives you the infection it IS a sexually transmitted infection and, as with other infections, the main symptoms are pain and a discharge. Be safe. Use condoms.

STDs are possible: Receiving anal sex does risk STDs of anus and rectum, especially gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes, and syphilis. The same precautions are necessary as for vaginal sex: uninfected partner, condoms, etc. Non-STD problems include anal fissures and trauma with bleeding. The main symptoms of all these (STD and other) are discharge or mucus from anus or on stool, pain, and sometimes bleeding.
