STIs Personal Experience
First off I would just like to say that I had a very hard time finding someone who has a personal experience with STIs. That makes me very happy. Secondly, so far the STI post has gotten the most amount of traffic of and post thus far. It had a surge of over 600% readership, trust me the readership before was modest so we aren't some break out hit but it is up by a lot. This makes me happy also. Not only because people are enjoying the site but also because people are wanting the information and they now have it. So to all the new readers I say welcome to the conversation. To the older readers, welcome back. Enjoy this story it is written by me from notes I took during a interview with a shy contributor. Let's call him Kevin Federline.
She was so friggin hot, dude and we didn't have a condom. We where in the moment and since I was like 16 I wasn't even considering catching something. At that time I was most worried about pregnancy and since it was anal I just said screw it. I knew she was very vocal and open about her sexual experiences, but it never occurred to me that she would have something. Even from looking at her I had no idea what was going to happen.
I woke up a few days later and went to pee and it burned so bad. I also noticed I had a clear discharge from my penis. At first was I didn't know what was going on and thought it would just go away on its own. After a bit it didn't so I went to my dad and told him what was going on. He took me to the doctor immediately. I'm not going to lie I was "scared, but I made my mistakes and had to take care of them."
My doctor was understanding and answered all of my questions. While the doctor and his resident were nice, the testing sucked. Initially the resident was in the exam room with me, he took a q-tip swap thing and shoved into my urethra, twisted and repeated. He repeated because they would have to do a separate scan for other bacterial things I could have gotten from her anus. When the doctor came in he had repeat the swapping to make sure no medical mistake where made. To say the least, it hurt like hell. The doctor said that I probably had a bacterial infection, I was given an antibiotic and went home to wait on my results.
2 weeks later I got my result confirming that I did have a bacterial STI, namely Chlamydia. I went back to the doctor where he gave me 2 pills of a stronger more specialized antibiotic. I took those pills as I was told and they knocked out the big C. I have been fine ever since and I have been more than a little diligent in making sure to wrap it up every time. My doc suggested I register with the CDC but I opted not to. I did tell the one partner I had between contracting it and getting it handled.
This whole thing could have been very bad, luckily I had a a father that I could talk to and be open and honest with. Let me just add one last thing "In this society we are so concerned with feelings our feelings others feelings. But essentially no matter how awkward, just do what you need to. Go see a medical professional talk to your parent someone that can give you the help you need. Even a simple STI like mine can lead to sterility of left untreated."
Just so you know, a condom could have helped to prevent Kevin's situation. If you want to the best shot at avoiding this you should use a condom every time with any penetrative sex, including oral. Also make sure to visually inspect your partners genitals. It may seem weird but while you are using your hand you can just take a look and see what's going on down there. If you notice something out of sorts, raise the question. Make a decision with your best judgment.
