Question:
I had sex once with my current girlfriend, who has no symptoms of any STD's. When I had sex with her, I used a condom and I only stayed in her for about 10 seconds w/o finishing. I barely moved, so there was no friction. I pulled out and removed the condom. Lately, I have been having burning sensation when peeing. I was tested for Gonorrea and clamidia, but tested negative. The doctor thought it might be prostatitis. But 6 months prior I had surgery and had a cather. Should I be worrying that my partner gave me something?

As your doctor suggested, you may have prostatitis, and if this is the case, you should have a physician examine you and prescribe antibiotics. Prostatitis is a when the prostate becomes infected or inflammed, sometimes because of bacteria that can be sexually transmitted. Symptoms of prostatitis include painful or burning urination, difficulty urinating, painful ejaculation, and blood in the urine. The other condition that comes to mind is that you may have a bladder infection. A physician should be able to test you and administer antibiotics for this condition as well. Based on the sexual act you described, it is highly unlikely that your burning urination is due to getting an STD from your partner. Using a condom was a smart idea and a practice you should keep up, especially if you're concerned about STDs or transmitting bacteria to your partner. Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network. Yvonne K. Fulbright, MS.Ed.
