Sexually Transmitted Diseases

[n-r]

My ex girlfriend and i broke up about 2 months ago. i had only been sexually active with her for the past 3 years, up until last night, when this girl i met gave me manual pleasure while we kissed.

All appeared to be fine, yet today i woke up with a reddish area just below the head of my penis which is starting to look a little weird. it doesnt hurt... just feels a little strange when i touch it (i wash my hands thoroughly afterwards of course). Also, i kind of feel like i'm coming down with a flu.

The only sexual contact i had with this girl was, once again, kissing and manual pleasure.

Is this all it takes? I'm a little freaked out and devastated about the possibility.

Going to see a doctor ASAP tomorrow. :(

i forgot to add, that this girl was a little... umm... "rough" on me, so there's always a chance that it's a bad case of chafing... maybe? hopefully? i mean, seriously how possible is it that i could get an STD from (pardon the language) an H.J.?

Please take a sexual education class so brush you up on how you cann contract an STD.

i took sex ed... a long while ago... during high school... for a semester... pardon me for not being an expert on the matter. i did a little bit of extra research after my second post, if it makes you feel better.

anyways back to the matter at hand. A little update. Wasnt able to find an available doctor today, but for some reason i think my assumption about it being a bad case of chafing is the right one.

the reddish area has basically remained the same between yesterday and today. No oozing or weeping of any kind. No scab. No lifting around the edges. Just a dry, very red area on the foreskin, just below the head. dont think it fits the description of any type of chancre. i do think it's chafing.

I talked to this girl today too. Not a harsh confrontation, just a fair warning that she might want to get checked. We had a very calm conversation. She denies having any sort of infection, and alleges she's been checked since her last sexual encounter. Not to say i completely trust the word of someone i barely know.

I still intend to visit a doctor on monday just to play it safe.

If someone can share some knowledge based on the description of the "lesion" (not sure i should even call it that), i'd be very appreciative.
