Can STD Be Contracted Through Protected Sexual Intercourse?

default
Posted on Thu, 13 Aug 2015
Question: I had sex about three weeks ago (One night stand unfortunately). The female said she was clean (No diseases etc.) I wore a condom for the sex, did not ejaculate, but after I took the condom off there was some rubbing of my penis on her vagina. I have been so worried (I have OCD and Anxiety). I think there is some pain every now and again around my urethra opening but I don't know if my mind is just playing games. There is no discharge and it doesn't really sting when I pee (Although again sometimes my mind makes me think it might). The little skin flap or skin outlining around my urethra opening may have been there all my life but I'm not sure. (See attached photos). Is it anything?

Brief Answer:
Genital Herpes and Hpv are real possibilities

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

I have gone through your query and I have understood your concern.

I think you should test for genital herpes regardless of the fact that you had protected or unprotected sex. STD's like herpes, Hpv can be transmitted inspite of a condom protected sex. The reason being that a condom covers only a portion of the shaft of penis and leave a lot of adjacent skin exposd for contact during sexual intercourse e.g base of shaft, scrotum and pubic skin.

As far as risk of other STD's like syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia is concerned I would like to know whether there were any vaginal secretions that directly touched your penis or urethral tip during the rubbing incident?
Risk of Hiv is very negligible by this incident that involved some rubbing with external genitalia without any penetration?
