hi - some weeks ago I received unprotected oral sex with a guy. I had urine and swab test 2 weeks ago which came back clear but they didn't take blood for any other tests - should I go back and have gthese tests done? The reason I went was because my scrotum started swelling, but they have said it's epididemetis. Am I panicing over nothing now and just accept what doctor has said.

Hello,

It is possible to pick up STD's through oral sex - chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis and herpes are all possible.

I would discuss with your clinic - I would suggest having a syphilis test and repeating the chlamydia etc tests to be sure they haven't been missed. After that then obviously to take the antibiotics etc they have prescribed.

Best regards, Sean
