His and Her Health

A month ago, my partner cheated on me. He went to a prostitute for oral sex. Barely a week after that, we made love (protected) but I went down on him without a condom.

He had sex with a prostitute 2 weeks ago and he kissed her. Right up till that point, I'm the only person he's ever kissed.

I just saw him a few days ago and that's when he confessed about the 2 incidents. I was very upset about it and even more upset that he'd let me sleep with him and kiss him and go down on him. We cried and I kissed him quite a bit in my emotional state...but we decided to break up.

2 days later, I had a really sore throat and it was painful to swallow. My neck glands were swollen and I had a bad headache and felt really tired and had a slight temperature.

I'm ok now, but my neck glands are still a bit tender. My throat still looks inflamed but doesn't hurt. But there's a white spot there.

Do I have any cause for concern that I could have picked up an STD? There are no other signs. And I don't get sick easily.

Or is it likely I just have a run of the mill sore throat, brought on by lack of sleep and stress?

My partner was unfaithful a few years ago as well, but I decided to still take him back. He used a condom but I insisted that he get tested for STDs which he did.

I assumed that he was faithful after that. But it's only now I'm finding out that he cheated on me again after the test and didn't say anything.

I'd seen what looked like inflamed pimples/small sores on his pubic area and penis a few times in the last few years but he dismissed it saying it was nothing. And I gave it the benefit of the doubt that they were just ingrowns, as I get them too. And he and I have never had any other signs of STDs. And I trusted that he'd only been unfaithful once.

I did start to have regular ovulation pain only in the last 2 years and I seem prone to minor infections that clear up on their own - but it shouldn't have anything to do with him right?

He had protected sex all of the times he cheated on me, except the one time recently that he decided to kiss the person. And we always use condoms for sex but not for oral sex.

I'm just really upset and wondering if I should be screened for STDs or not.

Should I do a Pap Smear? I've only gone once and that was only when we both started being sexually active. We were both virgins then.

To put your mind at ease over the chance you may have a STD please see a doctor and be tested. If you are going to remain with your boyfriend ask him to be tested also and show you the results.Better safe then sorry.
