A member asked:

Had a once off sexual encounter about 6 weeks ago - condom was worn throughout. just shaken off a week long fever. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: A condom does not protect against STD infection from every type of sexual encounter. Oral sex and scrotal exposure with the condom can still put one at risk. The fever has abated, but get examined by a MD just to be assured.
