I am concerned about exposure to STI, in particular Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and other STI.  I asked her status and she said she was clean (not sure how long ago tested) and I again asked after the fact.  I also understand the risk of HIV is very low. 

I had some antibiotics (AMOX-CLAV 875MG) that are 2 years old (never took them for sinus infection)  and took 1 dose 8 hours after the exposure and then another one 12 hours after that, I have enough for 10 days.  

Will taking the AMOX-CLAV so early help prevent any bacterial type of STI infection?  How many days/doses should I take this antibiotic as a precautionary measure (I want to be extra safe and can't get STI).   What was my exposure/risk to the STI's I mentioned or any other STI (assuming she had one?).  Will this antibiotic so early help/prevent?  

You don’t say how long ago this exposure was.  If there are no symptoms 3-4 days after stopping antibiotics, I would not worry.  Testing in this situation is optional and if you choose to test for your own peace of mind, please wait until 4-5 days after taking your last dose of antibiotics.

I hope this perspective is helpful.  EWH 

Thank you for your quick response!

The exposure was yesterday and so far I took two pills of the AMOX-CLAV 875MG.  I took 1 pill 8 hours after the sexual exposure and then another one 12 hours later.  For my peace of mind, I will take 8 doses total then (which is 4 days (8 pills) total) if this will reduce chances of gonorrhea, chlamydia and eliminate any risk of syphilis.   

Yes, I was concerned but I did ask the woman if she was recently tested and she said yes, she also said she never had an STI.   On another note, I have had oral herpes (HSV-1) since I was a child (but no breakout's since then), does this decrease my risk of being infected with HSV-2 (genital herpes)?  

   

You’re having HSV-1 slightly reduces your already low chances of getting herpes.  As an FYI, if you were going to experience an initial outbreak of herpes, it would occur within 8-10 days of your exposure.  EWH 

It has been 8 days since the exposure, ironically enough I have some slight burning not he head of my penis/foreskin (uncircuised).  However, it appears as a fungal infection (I get recurrent fungal infections sometimes within a day of having sex and sometimes just from no where or too much running/working out).  I have a prescription for Fluconazole 150 (since I get 3 to 5 fungal infections of penis head/foreskin a year) but it seems mild so I just put on some 1% antifungal cream.  I am also having sold cold symptoms but more in sinus pressure (some family members were sick recently and we spent time together last weekend).  

I hope it's not a genital herpes outbreak.  If it is, would it be normal for the foreskin to be little red/inflamed and head of penis a little red in some spots?  generally that's how fungal infections appear when I have them.  Maybe I am overthinking...  Also, the antibiotic might have contributed to this fungal infection, but I stopped taking them Saturday.   

Thank you.
