  1. Honestly, it really doesn't matter what STD it was. It clearly spooked the OP. I'd hate to see this thread turn judgemental.

     

    So far, the comments and suggestions have been great.

     

    ... Well, except for the whole not having sex at all idea. That's just against god.

     

    I appreciate all the advice, and thanks for validating that there wouldn't be slut shaming since I asked. Since Prep, I am not as careful I as could be *cough* *condoms*, and I did disclose to recent partners. I had ramped up my sexual activity and had not ramped up my testing frequency at the same pace.

     

    I'll disclose what was asymptomatic, in the hope someone reads it and gets checked out.

     

    One was syphillis. I had an infection 10 or so years ago with a painful chancre that lasted for weeks. This time it showed up in the blood test unexpectedly. Thinking back, I had what I thought was a hemorrhoid that went away in a couple of days a few months back. That was probably it.

     

    Other one that I missed was gonorrhea in my throat. The urine test came back negative. Doc decided I was a dirty whore after the bloodwork (kidding! he's gay and cool about it), but he decided to do a throat swab and picked it up. Gonorrhea is localized so a urine test would miss it in your throat (and vice versa). And it's cold season so I dismissed the sore throat and extra coughing as that.

     

    The no sex at all idea... I'm too horny for that :) I'd rather be clean and ready for whatever comes next. There's too many hot guys on this forum and still to many fantasies to explore to consider that.

  2. I came back from my routine STI testing and was frustrated to find out I had not one but two different STIs. Both treatable, but I was asymptomatic for both, so I feel bad about possibly unwittingly passing them along.

     

    I can and will get tested more frequently (it had been about 6 months). Do escorts do anything special or take extra precautions to avoid STIs when you see many clients, especially w bareback sex?
