I’ve been having a lot of anxiety for the last 6 weeks about this and hoping to finally put this to rest. On a bachelor party 6 weeks ago I had a stripper rub a lollilop on the outside of her vagina that I was holding in my mouth for about a minute or 2 before she stuck it in my mouth. In my drunken stupor I actually swallowed after she stuck it in my mouth as it was something I didn’t expect her to do. I do not think the lollipop was ever inserted inside of her vagina but only rubbed on the outside. 

Because of my anxiety, I have already been tested and everything came back negative, however oral swabs are difficult to get in my area. My question is:

1. Is this even a risk at all for any oral std? I have seen cunnilingus is a very low risk, and with this exposure, I didn’t even make any skin-to-skin contact.

2. I’m taking cephalexin 500mg for a completely unrelated infection right now. Would that usually clear up an oral gonorrhea infection if I had one? I’ve seen oral gonorrhea usually clears up on its own after a few weeks.

3. Is this something that could be passed to my fiancé if I were to be infected? 

4. Is it time to move on? As I mentioned, I am a naturally very anxious person about these things. I haven’t been myself for a while and would finally like to put this to rest and move on with my life.

Thank you kindly for your response and time.

Your comment about cunnings is correct. Even when a woman has genital (i.e. cervical) gonorrhea, partners performing cunnilingus on her rarely are infected. (My colleague Dr. Hook was the senior investigator on a study with this finding.) There is no realistic chance a lollipop (or a woman's contaminated fingers) could carry enough gonorrhea bacteria to transmit the infection in this way. There was no need of testing. Same for all other STDs.

Those comments pretty well answer your numbered questions, but to be explicit:

1. This was a no risk event.

2. To the extent there was a theoretical risk of gonorrhea, cephalexin probably would have eliminated it. And yes, oral gonorrhea is cleared without treatment within a few weeks.

3. Even if you had oral gonorrhea, it is unlikely you would have transmitted it to a sex partner.

4. It definitely is time to move on. Don't give another thought to any of this.

I hope these comments are helpful. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I appreciate your help on this issue and the work you do on this forum. Thank you for all the helpful info despite how ridiculous my question may have seemed.

No additional questions on my end. I will take your advice and move on.

Thank you again. 

One clarifying question. If the lollipop was inserted inside (although I don’t think it was), would this change your assessment in any way? 

That completes the two follow-up comments and replies included with each question and so ends this thread. I hope the discussion was helpful. Best wishes and stay safe.
