Before christmas i had protected vaginal alongwith protected oral sex. She gave me a lot of unprotected masturbation which went on for ages and left me very tender and raw....anyway....I washed the area afterwards with echinacea (massive mistake as it immediately stung like a @&%$). I had a test for the usual STDs recently just to keep my file fresh and the results came back negative. I was informed that it was way too early for HIV so i was told to go back at 3 months. I was negative with gonnoreah, chlamydia, syphillis, and eveything else except i was confirmed with HSV 1 (cold sores) which i kinda thought i had. I am concerned about chlamydia however because people are saying that it is a silent disease and i seem to be thinking that this makes it more difficult for tests to detect the virus? Is this right?? Are there than one tests that i could have to make sure?? I still have the stinging sensation from the echinacea after all this time and also feel a dull ache in the testicles as well. In the month on an occasion i had no sensation when ejaculating followed with a real pain at the tip of my penis (also the semen seems to be thicker) Might all of these symptoms be related to chlamydia even though the test has come back negative? Incidentally there is no discharge or pain when i pee. what are peoles opionions on this? Could any of my issues be connected with chlamydia? If you think no then might these symptoms be related to another disease?

Tell the woman not to be so rough next time!
