[Question #2239] Anymore testing required
99 months ago
|
I had unprotected oral sex (giving and receiving) with a female sex worker at the end of December 2016.
I was worried about this encounter so had the following testing done:
Urine test for Gon & Chly 6 & 32 days after encounter.
Blood test (igg/igm by eia) syphilis at 46, 82, 95, 110, 129 days post exposure.
Syphilis RPR - 144 days
HIV duo test 91 days.
All results were negative. Yet I am continuing to freak out about this encounter. To the point that I'm seriously considering getting tested again. As you may have guessed syphilis is my main concern.
Is there anyway I could have these infections given the above testing regime?
The doctor I did my last syphilis test with said I should consider testing again at 6 months for peace of mind. Would you agree with this?
Many thanks.

Also, I must remind you that the forum does not permit repeated anxiety driven questions by the same users. This will have to be your last one and the thread will be closed later today; future new questions on this topic will be deleted without reply and without refund of your posting fee. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and is designed to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers; because experience shows that continued answers tends to simply prolong such anxieties, when the real answer normally should be professional counseling; and because such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. I trust you will understand. EWH
