STD problem?

I don't know but I mean like I went for my annual in July and usually it's like if you don't hear back from them... then it's all good!! lol
So then about 6-7 weeks afterwards, they had left a msg for me to call back and I was freaking out something was wrong or abnormal.... but then the nurse was like, no you just had a yeast infection... so do a treatment. I was like... but my test was almost 2 mths ago and I haven't had any symptoms or itching?!? She was like... that's normal... just do a treatment in case something starts.
I know yeast infection isn't an STD but just it was something I had no idea about.

I was sort of reading back on your posts and is this the same girl where you guys split up and then she had another b/f....and now you guys are kind of testing the waters of coming back together???
I mean sure she might have something... but I mean if you both have been sort of cavalier in the past about the issue... then she might have caught something. Plus, condoms only "help"... they aren't a sure thing... people can be REALLY careful and still catch something.

I don't remember talking about that, and it wasn't quite that simple. Around 4 years ago we tried going out, but it didn't really work. She got in a relationship a few months after, I got in one nearly 2 years ago. She had been single for the last 2-3 years though, and I kinda dumped my last gf to get back with her since we'd been flirting for ages anyway.

6-7 weeks seems like a long time to get results back.. They told me 3 days, and that I had to go back in to get them regardless of the results since they won't tell me over the phone. So I'm going in on thurs. If I had got something from someone else, it would have been a good 8 months or so with no symptoms.. While she has had symptoms in the last couple of months.

And... We use other protection, not condoms so I guess it would be a pretty sure thing that if one of us had something the other would too.

For many, the only concern before having sex is the risk of pregnancy. Others believe that only one time is no risk at all. Unfortunately, both premises are wrong. Unsafe sex carries a multitude of risks. These are just a few.

If you have sex with a carrier of an STD you are at risk. Sometimes even if you wear a condom. Anytime anyone has unprotected sex you increase your risk of contracting an STD-"One in particular that might kill you"!

The most important factor is familiarity with your partner, with whom you should have a steady social and monogamous sexual relationship. Risk of getting infection is greatly increased by having sex with a casual acquaintance, whether a sex worker, a businessman, or any occupational grouping.

If he or she had sex on a casual basis with you, he or she has probably done so with others, some of whom may have had an STD.

If you cannot resist the thrill of having sex with each new acquaintance, you can take many measures to minimise infection even if some of your partners are infected. Examining your sex partner may be feasible (particularly if you are a woman) and frequently reveals evidence of infection. Use of a condom greatly reduces the risk of passing on infection to either partner and also protects the female from pregnancy. Urination immediately after coitus and thorough washing of the genitals with soap and water are probably of very limited value but are better than nothing.

After unprotected sex with a casual partner, seek medical examination before further sexual activity. Symptoms show an immediate need for such medical care, but it is important to remember that infection in both men and women may not show symptoms. Freedom from symptoms is an unreliable guide to freedom from infection.
