A bit anxious
by sureshot, Jan 07, 2006 12:00AM
I went to Montreal for the New Year and ended up having an escort over for a "Girlfriend Experience." She was new to the business (only two weeks), so presumably she has not been exposed to too many clients. However, fact still remains that I took a bit of risk - I had unprotected oral sex both ways (she gave me a bare back blow job but did not ingest my ***) while I performed cunnilingus on her for about 3-5 minutes. I am worried because I had chapped lips at the time. I also had protected sex with her, but as I withdrew, the condom slipped out (I am confident that my penis was protected at all times while I was inside her - the condom only slipped out when I was withdrawing).
I know the only way to be sure is to get tested. As of now, I have no symptoms of any STDs, but I guess it is too early for most of them to emerge. How worried should I be, and do you advise my getting tested for all STDs?

You describe a very low risk sexual exposure. Condom slippage on withdrawal probably is not a risk at all, and oral sex is very low risk, chapped lips or not. I do not recommend any STD or HIV testing after this sort of exposure. But if my reassurance doesn't ease your mind, be tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and HIV in about 6 weeks.
