Not necessarily: Sometimes when a person feels exceptionally stressed it can impact their bowel movements. I don't know if you had protected or unprotected sex or how well you knew your partner. However, because some sexually transmitted diseases can be 'silent', if you are concerned about a std, you can be evaluated by your physician or at an std clinic. Take care.

Diarrhea and Stress: Diarrhea is not a symptom of any std infection. But, it sure can happen when one is stressed out.
