Can we get a thread for sexual health discussion?
We never really had sex ed in school, and I feel so stupid now, and I'm a bit worred.
Tonight I dreamed that I was HIV positive, and it was sooo disturbing.
I want to get a bit into my sexual history and would like to get some opinions from more experienced Anons out there.
About 2 years ago I had sex for the first time, with my then bf, who was Asian. I was top and he bottom. I didn't want to use condoms, because I tried and didn't like it, and I trusted him that he was healthy. It was a bit stupid in hindsight.
So I was practically virgin, and he was rather promiscuous. I didn't know how many partners he had before me, but I magine around 5 or so.
At one point during our relationship I got gonorrhea, and it really shocked me. He got tested, too, but apparently, he didn't have it, and I had no sex outside our relationship. I think I got it, because one time I didn't wash my dick properly after intercourse (I know I was fucking stupid), is that possible?
Went to the doctor, took antibiotics and the symptoms and everything subsided.
2 years passed and now I'm wondering, because my skin is always every so slightly yellow-ish (and I'm caucasian), but I think it was like that even before I had sex for the first time, but I'm not entirely sure. I will go to the doctor about that soon.
My question is:
Is it possible I still have gonorrhea 2 years after? Or does it go away 100%? I did get treated and no problems since. I'm just worried, and I simply don't know enough about this sort of stuff.
And, is it possible I'm HIV +?
Or you think that would have come out in the 2 years? I never got tested, because I'm afraid to go. There might be no real basis for this worry, because I think it might be unlikely he had HIV at that point (he was like 21 back then), but still.
I'm frightened due to my nightmare.
Am I just worried for no reason? Like what is the deal here? Thank you for taking the time to respond.
