Hi,

I'm reposting a question I had to the general forum. Not that I am not appriciate of the answer but I would like to get an other opinion on transmission from vaginal fluid to a shaved pubic region, with razor burn or little cuts.

My encounter:

one night about 3 weeks ago a friend and I got pretty drunk and ended up at a ‘message parlor’ in a central asian country (i work overseas). I started to have protected vaginal introcouse with a girl in a sauna. The act lasted about 2 minutes until I realised how stupid I was being and I stopped, jumped in a shower, got dressed and booked it. I understand that proper use of a condom greatly reduces the risk of transmission so that relaxes me a bit. The problem i’m having with this stupid lapse in judgement is I shave my pubic area and I did that evening before venturing out. The next day my lower penis shaft and scrotum were tender due to little cuts I received during shaving. The next day I got a cold sore on the right side of my upper lip that lasted for about 1 ½-2 weeks. I realise this is unrelated to the encounter just a detail. 2 days later I got a red bump on my shaft that resembled something you would get if you had an ingrown hair.

Symptoms:

i didn’t give much thought to my encounter because I was protected, it was short in duration and it was not rough. A week later I woke and my muscles were sore for a couple of days for no reason.

But 15 days after the encounter I am experiencing some very disturbing symptoms. Firstly, my left gland feels a little sore and feels hard. I’m not sure what “swollen” means but it’s bigger than the right one. I have been poking at it. My neck hurts and my body feels “weird”. Also the area right below my ears, behind my jaw bone felt tight and a sore yesterday but fine today. On the 16th day my left lower abdomen began to hurt right were my gland is and I think it feels enlarged but i’m not sure. It sure feels painful without me touching it.
My biggest concern is that my throat is very tight and it is difficult to swallow. I looked at my throat but I really don’t know what i’m looking for. I think it’s my tonsils that are bothering me the most rather than a painful lymph gland. The whole throat region feels tight and sore.
I’m currently in a very dry, cold environment and I have been under a considerable amount of stress as of late. I don’t have a fever, night sweats, diarreah.

Questions:
1- with respect to the encounter despite my use of a condom is transmission still likely from vaginal secretion to my shaved pubic area? It’s difficult to recall but I don’t think that there was much secretion at all.



Thank you again for you time. I’m really stressing here and i’ve not been able to sleep for the past 2 nights.
