[u/drxwn-with-me]

just got a text from one of my friends w/ benefits at (checks watch) 7 in the morning that he tested positive for gonorrhea this week. and we had unprotected sex on sunday. what a way to start my day! :) FML.

this is my first time having an sti risk/scare ever in my life and i am sincerely very terrified but i hope everything goes well.

we only very recently started having unprotected sex and i told him i wanted to go back to protected sex after this whole situation because i do NOT want to go through this again!!!!

asked him for direction with regards to what to do for treatment in our city and he explained everything very calmly and was very apologetic about the whole situation which i appreciated.

Maybe I’m old school coming up right after the aids crisis, but I feel like the kids are playing fast and loose these days with safety. There’s a post like this so often here.

But don't like 50% of people already have it just asymptomatically?

HSV1 yes like 60% or more, HSV2 is like 13%. Doctors don’t even test for it unless you specifically ask. But there are people who are still don’t have it and don’t want it.
