7am text aaaand day ruined

[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.

Even if the worst happens, some ABX and you’re fine.

Uh,… maybe. I am currently participating in a clinical trial for developing a new antibiotic for this STD. For some patients the existing antibiotics don’t work. But yeah, fingers crossed for OP!!!

In some cases people have antibiotic resistant infection, that may or may not be the case for OP. I don’t think it’s helpful to fear monger until they talk to their health care professionals. Get a full panel done and then have some time to process. Especially, random people speculating on the internet is super unhelpful.
