How long do STD tests take?
So I got cheated on.
First thing I did is kicked the dude to the curb, and set up a gynecologist appointment.
I got tested for literally everything.
My appointment was 2 days ago and i just started having a massive amount of super thick, disgusting yellow discharge that I’ve never seen my body produce in my entire life and I’m freaking out. It smells weird, it LOOKs like infection.
I have always been safe with my body, I used condoms with new partners before I was in a committed relationship, I get tested every year. was with this man for 6 years. I thought I could trust him. After the first year I stopped using condoms because I wasn’t sleeping with anyone else and was on the IUD.
I am freaking out so bad that I have a sexually transmitted infection and I am so glad that my doctor checked for everything but I am so scared and I just need to know how long usually it takes the get the results back.
I can’t remember from past experiences, because I never focused on it so hard. They just callled whenever they called but NOW, I’m sitting here waiting in my phone to ring and I’m scared. This is horrible.
I really genuinely think I have an STI and my only sin was trusting a man I dearly loved and was committed to for almost 7 years. I always had myself checked at every Pap smear because to me, as a woman, this is my body and I should be the one who makes sure it’s okay. Doesn’t matter if we were together 20 years, every year I would have been tested. This is exactly why, because shit like this happens.
On a side note as just a rant, I told my doctor that I had been cheated on and he ran every single STD/STI test on me that I think currently exists. He said “I’m going to make sure you’re okay. That’s my job so I’m running every test even for HIV and HEPC” So If I have anything, I’ll know it.
If I have it. I’m not even going to tell him. I’m going to message married 45 year old woman he cheated with and thank her for the STD.
THEN, im going to tell her husband.
I have zero interest in talking to my ex, so I will promptly text his best friend pictures of my results if they are positive for anything and ask him to relay the message so that my ex doesn’t INFECT any other poor girl because that grown ass woman will get tired of him at some point. hes really not that great. He’s a toy to her.
