Unprotected sex and now I'm worrying if I caught something!

Question - (15 October 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 16 October 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I had unprotected sex 16 days ago. The guy it was with took off the condom without my knowledge for a couple seconds (I was furious!) but I asked if he had any STD's and he said no. I have an appointment to be tested on Monday.

As of day 10 after the unprotected sex, I had no symptoms. I had sex again, and the day after, I started getting really itchy and it burns when I pee. It's also very dry. I've had yeast infections before, and on any other occasion, I'd just assume it was another yeast infection. However, having had unprotected sex, I'm now really worried that I might have something more than a yeast infection. 

I figured what could have triggered a yeast infection was that I had sex while I was having some light bleeding/spotting, that mixed with semen and just cleaning up rather than taking a full on shower after sex, using tampons, and I also used a new soap that I noticed was extremely drying. 

What do you think? I know you're not doctors and can't give me a proper diagnosis. I have a doctor appointment in two days but I guess I just wanted some reassurance, something to ease my anxiety about it, I don't know!

person12345 agony auntMost likely a yeast infection from the symptoms. It's unlikely if you had caught something symptoms would show this quickly. The only thing you can do to be sure is get tested. It's unlikely you caught anything, especially if he didn't finish with the condom off, but it's good you're being tested just to be safe.

I think this goes without saying this guy is a selfish jerk. Legally removing the condom without your consent is a form of rape.

Could be nothing, I ve had it multiple times after a new partner, blisters even and redness, burning, turned out to be nothing. Be careful though , as unprotected sex could lead to more serious ilness as HIV. Especially if you are in minority group or your partner is risk to get is 20 times higher than if you are white, statistically. Also if he finishes inside of you brings risk even higher. And anal sex of course, as bleeding often occurs.

10 days is to early to detect anything for women.

My advice would to always have condoms with you, and insist on a guy wearing them through the whole intercourse. Good luck.
