The very first thing I am going to say is that I have full blown OCD and this is really killing me right now. I hooked up with a girl about 2 weeks ago who I met on an online dating site. We were both kind of drunk coming back from a bar, and she gave me oral sex that night. We didn't plan on having sex so soon, so I didn't have a condom on, but at one point we were almost ready to do it (without a condom) , but we couldn't because she was not wet enough to have sex. I was only in her for maybe a few seconds. Here is the thing though, the next day she tells me she has something called HPV. I guess its some kind of STI that is contagious through skin to skin contact. Supposedly she has a strain that causes cervical cancer in women, so most likely I got that. But it won't harm me directly, but may harm other women I come in contact with. THe good news is that the human immune system kills the virus in 90% of people within 6 months - two years. It appears it a highly epedemic problem with sexually active people and 70% of people get some strain of HPV some point in there life.
Thing that really has me scared though is what if she had something else? I've been really worried and can't stop thinking about random things like if she had HIV (Aids) and didn't know it, or didn't say anything. I keep getting like mini panic attacks. I went to see my doctor about the HPV thing and she assured me its not that serious, I asked if I should get blood work for anything, but she didn't think so. I am having my physical in a few weeks so I will definately have blood work done then, but the idea that I don't know my sexual health right now is really killing me. Its stupid of me too, cause I always see myself as a responsible person, and this is a rare time I slipped up. Also I'm still a virgin and for one of my few sexual experiences, to come across someone that had something wrong is really messing up my mind. Doesn't help either that I have a little cold right now, and supposedly people who catch HIV have flu like symptoms after about 4 weeks. Although the symptoms described seem much more severe than anything i have right now. Its just a really scary time for me.
