How long should it take to develope symptoms of a SDT.  I need to know how long I should avoid sex with my wife.

Some STD's are asymptomatic.  Safest thing would be never to have sex with her again.

If you are faint of heart, you really shouldn't be in this hobby!

I'm kind of new all of this.  I've been with 5 providers since October. Though the sex obviously was protected, two of the providers gave me bbbj. I sure as hell don't want to give anything to my wife. What are the chances I could get a STD from bbbj?

While not impossible... nothing is... the chances of contracting anything from a bbbj is remote.  You would need to have a cut or lesion where a fluid transfer (blood) could take place.  

My advice is this:  stay covered for FS... enjoy your bbbj's... be selective about the ladies you see... do your research and monitor the boards... I have never known a secret like that to last long...  get tested regularly... and if through some off chance you still contract something... be prepared to come clean...

Other wise... go back to you wife and enjoy the limited amount and quality of sex you get... and stay away from the hobby.

But for the record... good providers are just as concerned about STD's as you are... but good providers usually cost a little more and take more effort to schedule...

Because many STDs are symptomatic it is recommended the people like us who have multiple sex partners should undergo periodic testing. Yet a TER poll indicates that 50% of us have never been tested.  This is despite that the fact that t it is estimated that up to 15 million new STD infections (Chlamydia 3 million , Gonorrhea 650,000, Syphilis 70,000,Herpes 1 million, Human Papilloma Virus 5.5 million, Hepatitis B 77,000 Trichomoniasis 5 million, HIV 20,000 ) per year.  Interestedly, another TER Poll indicates that 43% of us have at one time tested positive for an STD.  Although theses represent two different TER polls it does suggest that a high percentage of us who have decided to get tested were found to be positive for an STD.  One wonders what percentages of the 50% who have never been tested also have an STD?

Percent of those positive who have not tested should be at least as high or higher.  Denial keeps some from testing or honestly reporting results.  Plus, some diseases like HSV are only found on complex testing that is not routinely done so incidence is probably even higher.

Go to a public health clinic.
Either way---get tested.

Holy jumpin'Jeezus H.Keerist on a bicycle!!!The daily s.t.d
question is now posted for you perusal!!

this is NOT to be confused with a definitive test but they MAY be able to asuage some of the fear you may be having. One time I developed a rash on the tip[ of my weiner, chafing from my shorts. The lady on the phone relieved some of the fear I had but I still got tested, just in case.

You should get tested BEFORE engaging in ANYTHING with ANYONE until the results come back.

If you have herpes you can transmit or get it even if you use a condom.  Same with HPV.

Chlamydia may be aymptomatic, espceially in women, but can be treated.

HIV can take 6 months or more to show positive, though 3 months is a pretty well accepted time frame.

The clap and syphilis can show up in just a few weeks.

Shigella can take months to show up. Though it is difficult to transmit vaginally. E coli can show up in weeks but can be very hard to get rid of.

Go to a free clinic, not the famiy doctor so it can be private and get tested.

The fact is, my brother is a family practice doctor (primary care). I am a patient in his practice.  However, his office has 4 other primary care physicians, one of which is my doctor.  Though my brother is not my doctor, he can definitely go through my records.  I can't risk my brother finding out either via word of mouth from my doctor (his partner) or via my records.  Oh, did I mention that our wives happen to be sisters?  Thanks again everyone for your advice.
