Can a moving condom have an STI risk?
Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2016 5:24 pm
I had sex with my boyfriend and the condom moved slightly. I noticed it and it didn't slip all the way off but it was because he had ejaculated. I went to the doctors and they said it was a very very minimal risk for pregnancy but as I was anxious they let me take plan B. Since he's had two other partners in the past they said to do an STI test, and after 3 weeks of taking plan b do a pregnancy test but this was just a routine I think.
I've read that the condom does slip and that is normal, but I've only heard about it being a minimal risk for pregnancy. Nobody ever seems to talk about the risk of STIs in terms of the condom moving.
Well I didn't do an STI test because I was too scared. I'm really annoyed I hadn't done it sooner. I spoke to my boyfriend about STIs and he says he has always had protected sex, he seems offended that I would think he wouldn't have protected sex.
So is there a high risk of me catching anything? I know I am over thinking a lot but I'm too scared to get a test - I think I eventually will, but it's so close to Christmas and I don't want it to ruin Christmas for me by waiting for results. If the results were positive I'd question to myself if he's cheated or has had no symptoms for almost a year since his last partner and the idea of that stress makes me anxious. I have a habit of jumping to the worst case scenarios
Edit- Also I know most STIs are caught by bodily fluids and I'm pretty sure he said nothing came out - he insisted that he would know if that happened and it didn't. Other STIs like herpes and hpv are from skin to skin contact, right?
I immediately went onto the contraceptive pill and it doesn't suit me. At first I got moody, then when it got to my period I had worse cramps than ever before. I've also noticed an increase in what I believe is smegma? When I've googled it, it comes up with exactly what I describe. I know people stress over what this stuff is but before I was sexually active I really didn't care and thought of it as normal. I also got a UTI recently and following that the antibiotics gave me a yeast infection. Any little 'symptom' I have I obsess over lately and i know that it is no way to be. The only way is to go to the doctor, really. I don't have any weird discharge just this smegma stuff , when it builds up it does itch. I'm wondering if the pill has messed me up a bit and thrown me off balance down below, but also worried that the condom moving slightly is the actual cause of these problems
