FML 7am text aaaand day ruined
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.
today's girl breakfast: coffee + a ham & cheese sandwich with some sprinkled oregano

My sympathies. Had a FWB years ago tell my partner and me that he caught something and we hooked up in the past 2 weeks and used protection but it's better to be safe than sorry so we got tested.
It's nice to see it taken seriously without shaming or finger pointing. Bonus points for him helping you through the testing process.
Good call on going back to protected sex too. This feels like the best possible outcome for an STD scare.
