Hi i recently had unprotected anal sex and im worried i maybe at risk of getting an sti. i havent had sex with anyone else besides my partner.

At risk if partner: At risk for STI if partner has an STI. Regardless of that, there are billions of bacteria coming down into the anal-rectal area all day long... such as E. coli, Klebsiella, and all sorts of other species. Scientists say there are more bacteria in the intestinal tract than there are human cells in our entire body (we are outnumbered). To stay safe, an anus should be reserved for just pooping.
