Doctor's advice:
Published: Saturday | January 30, 2010

Q. While my husband was away last week, I very unwisely had a sexual encounter with a young man who was working at the house next door. What are the chances I might have caught some form of sexually transmitted infection from him?

A. That depends on many factors, like which part of the island you are living in - since the incidence of STIs varies in different communities.

It also depends on how promiscuous the young man is. In other words, if he has slept with a lot of other ladies, that increases the chances that he might have had some infection.

Another important question is this: Did you use a condom? If you didn't, that greatly increases the chances that you may have caught something.

All in all, I feel your wisest course now is to have a discreet check-up from a doc, including, if possible, swab tests for STIs. I think you should try not to have sex with your husband till you are sure that you are free from infection.

bout promiscuous

all it takes is one wrong encounter and u can end up with a STD. Blaming it on promiscuity is a false sense of protection.

Mussi needa parson or doc...bout &quot;discreet&quot;. The foundation of STD control is open and honest (a wah this skettle wouldan know bout dat anyway) sharing of information with your sex partner ( an mi naw chat bout she an the plumber nex door eeida).

An is how long dem noh fi rooks ??? The symptoms of a primary Herpes infection for example, can be very mild and overlooked....a noh everybody get a sore the first time around... and some blood tests can take up to 3 months to be positive. An you will be shedding virus during this time !
