Dr. Donald Alves answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Possible: If your partner had an STD/STI, it is possible it was transmitted in this fashion. If timing (few days after event) correct, recommend seeing your Dr for testing--NEED TO TELL Dr your concerns, as "routine" testing would not look for STI.
