TL;DR: THE MORAL OF THIS STORY IS USING CONDOMS UNTIL YOU GET TESTED AND ARE 100% SURE.
---
Hey guys. This is totally embarrassing to say, but it has to be said. I had an STD. Rather, I got an STD. You know, before what happened I also thought I couldn't get one because both I and who I had sex were virgins. Boy, was I wrong.
Really, both of us were virgins, and both of us had protected sex before. We also did unprotected oral. Obviously there was nothing wrong with us. Really, it was just one night we didn't wear a condom. We were partying, got drunk, and were too much in the mood. I wouldn't cum in her, and, if I did, chances were slim according to the cycle.
Not too long after I get a strong fever, but didn't really think much of it. Three weeks later, I apologize for being graphic, but a smelly (like a more concentrated genital smell), green liquid was coming out of my penis. Urinating burned and was uncomfortable. I didn't think too much of it first, I thought I had gotten a UTI (urinary tract infection), waited for a few days and it didn't pass.
So later that week I told my parents so I could go to the doctor. He didn't even look down there, he just asked was going on and knew. I did lie to him about not having unprotected sex, because I thought little of what I had done weeks ago. He gave me a prescription, one for STDs, and another more general one for UTIs. From what the medicine instructions, I and my parents figured out that I either had chlamydia or gonorrhea. I had to take the pills for a week and abstain from having sex for a month.
I told my girlfriend immediately. You can imagine how confused we were. I assumed that she had it before and maybe caught it from her mother. Since the medicine I took isn't available without a prescription, she had to go to a gynecologist first.
It took a week her to go to one, finding one that accepted her health plan and then scheduling an appointment. As my girlfriend was asymptomatic (had no symptoms), she didn't ask for a bacterial exam immediately, but for just some general checkups. She also had given my girlfriend a prescription so she could go on the pill.
That's... two more weeks until those are done and she returns to the gynecologist. She insistently asked for a bacterial exam, so the doctor sent her to a lab to get the exams done. Another week or two having to reschedule because of school and stuff, finally got to the laboratory... When we got there, we then had to pay because her health plan didn't cover that specific exam. Great.
Meanwhile, a month had passed and I took a urine exam to see if the meds worked. All clean. A week after the exams, the results were in. There wasn't any bacteria in the sample, but there was more than a handful of chlamydia antibodies. Later that week she went to the gyno and figured out the lab forgot the definitive exam and had to wait at the clinic so they could email the doctor... And it was negative.
So... she had chlamydia but it cured within the timeframe of going to the doctors and figuring out? Up to this day, we're not sure. We had unprotected sex again and waited a month to see if something appeared, and it seems we're clean.
So... what does this all mean? Firstly, I was very lucky it was chlamydia, not gonorrhea or and even worse disease. It may just be frustrating here in Brazil, but the whole saga lasted almost a whole semester here, on private healthcare. We never got to know exactly what happened.
I also have to add that the whole experience was very embarrassing. Going to doctors knowing you have something, saying out loud that you had an STD is no fun, but it happens. It's not something you tell friends, who can't help but ask where are you going and why all the exams. What was worse was my parents judging me hard, constantly asking with whom I got infected, even suggesting that one of us were cheating... Jeez.
The moral is to always wear a condom, and get tested. Trust is important in a relationship, but trusting your partner is not enough. Even virgins can have STDs, it's true. I didn't believe it myself, and since the gyno took a while to send her to the lab, I don't think she did believe it either. It's Brazil, but both of our families are on the more prosper side of life. But it happens. If you're having fun with a fling, use a condom. When you're in a more serious relationship, have a mature relationship with your partner and get tested before anything else.
I'm serious VT. STDs can be very serious, don't take them lightly as I did, you might not be as lucky. It's embarrassing to share this, true, but I'd rather say this now before one of you go through this instead. Talk to your partner. Be mature. And be safe.
