Had Oral Sex. Used Protection. No Symptoms. Could I Have Got Mycoplasma Genitalium?
Hi,
My question is about mycoplasma genitalium. I had oral sex in mid september. I used a condom and used it properly (it did not break). I am not too worried that I could have gotten mycoplasma genitalium the traditonal way.
But,
I read online that "It can also be transmitted by sex toys and hands and fingers if they have been in contact with an infected person's genitals or anus"
Is this even true?
I did not touch her butthole (I think that is the anus right?), but I touched her buttock area and touched her vagina (but only for a second or two...not very long at all)
I did not see any infections on her. Not even a tiny spot....
Is it possible that I may have gotten this STD? .
I have not developed any syptoms in the past few months since I received the oral sex. Also, I have never had any symptons since I have been sexually active (since I was 20..I am now 25...)

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the possibility of Sexually Transmitted Diseases after the incidence.
As you have used protection then it is quite impossible to get any sort of infection related to Sexually Transmitted Diseases. Condoms provide the best means of protection against all types of Sexually Transmitted Diseases and even for HIV too. There fore there is no possibility of mycoplasma infection in yourself. Be relaxed!!
Your mode of contact will not cause any infections so you should not be worried about the same. Always use condoms during any type of sexual encounter to get protected form STDs.
Take care.
