Puzzled and Stressed
Greetings,
I founded this board while browsing on the net for answers.
Here is my story:
A month and a half ago, I had to go out of town for a congress.
At the venue, I met a very nice person and we became interested in developing that sudden attraction.
We went to a bar near the hotel, drink alot of alchoolic berevages and on our way back, we had sexual intercourse in a tunnel located near the hotel.
Unfortunately, it was unprotected and unfaithful sex.
Actually, I am married for the past 2 years, and never had adventures until that very moment.
I am not posting a message to get counseling about unfaithful sex, but rather about unprotected sex and its consequences.
After that "adventure", we went back to live our "regular lives" trying to forget about the tunnel incident.
However, a week after the tunnel, that person sends me an email to know if I was infected with STDs. In the email, that person wrote that she had a very strong yeast infection and she was wondering if I was 100% clean.
I was surprised to hear that story since I was sexually active exclusively with the same partner for the past 2 years and never had unprotected sex with another partner than my wife up to the tunnel incident. (My wife and I were 100% clean)
I replied that I always was tested negative to all STDs, including HIV, and that she might just have a severe, but not-alarming, yeast infection. (The summer here is very humid, the sanitary conditions were not very optimal in that tunnel, plus she was sexually inactive for a long time before our encounter.)
She treated the yeast infection with the appropriate medication, and the symptoms finally disappeared.
Relieved to know that she was "cured", I restarted to be sexually active with my wife, as we used to do before the incident= without the use of a condom.
However, I received an email this week from her telling that even tough the yeast infection symptoms are not there anymore, she still continue to have a persistent, dull and throbbing pain in her lower abdomen/pelvic area.
So she is now concerned that I might have infected her with Chlamydia or any other possible STD.
Hearing that news struck me, I started to sweat, became pale and felt a strong pain in my stomach. (Which I attribute to stress).
Now, my question is: could it be possible that she is infected with Chlamydia?
Before you answer, here is some piece of info.
I have only been sexually active with my wife for the past 2 years.
Before starting to have unprotected sex with her, I was tested negative for STDs.
My wife never cheated on me (that I am sure 100%. Or if she cheated on me, I am 100% sure she asked the guy to use a condom).
The person I had sexual intercourse in the tunnel with was told she was clean by the doctors a year ago. She was almost sexually inactive for the past year, except a few times with the same partner, but the intercourses were protected.
I never had symptoms in my genital region. (Neither my wife)
I have been to the doc for some small reddish spots (not bumps, not zits, not lesions, only little red dots) on my glans (cock) and inner skin of prepuce (foreskin) 2 years ago. I told the doc that this problem was recurring when the temperature is humid, or after intercourse, masturbation or usage of a condom.
He looked at it carefully, prescribed me some ointment and told me it was not STD. It was some kind of reaction caused by the humidity level of my prepuce's skin and he advised me to dry my penis very well after bathing and to wear white cotton underwear.
That was 2 years ago. However, the red dots reappeared from time to time but were quickly treated by using the prescribed ointment. (I still have still sometimes)
My wife never experienced any pain or never notices any symptoms (we are very active and I never spotted symptoms myself).
So, if it is STD, how could I have infected her?
She was tested; the results are schedule for the 15th.
In the meantime, I will try to remain inactive with my wife and go to the doctor.
I am just stressed and what to get the opinion of others to see if I should stress or it could be something else than STDs.
Yours
