Please help - urgent advice needed

A few months ago I was working away, same old story I know. basically I got drunk at the hotel bar and wobbled off to my room. The woman I was breifly talking to then jumped in the lift behind me. Before I knew it she was rummaging around and went down on me. She was pretty big and in my drunken state I couldn't get her off me. I couldn't push her off becuase I was pretty shocked and somehwat scared. Eventually I managed to get free. When the lift doors opened I legged it to my room as quick as I could and dived in the shower.

I have not told my wife becuase there is know way she would believe me. I have never strayed in 14 years together but she is still jealous type. How could I tell her the story above and expect her to believe me. There isn't a day goes by when I have not replayed this in my head, when I wished I had not gone in the lift, or drank so much. I don't even remeber what I said to her in the bar. I don't know why she picked me or what her reasons for doing this were.

That was 4 months ago. Although I did not ejaculate, or go hard. I was that drunk, my penis did enter her mouth. however I got no symptoms of anything. Figuring I'd had a lucky escape and doing nothing in the way of a test I tried to put this episode behind me.

Last weekend I had unprotected sex for the first time since this sorry episode, with my wife. We allways use condoms. She has since been suffering a painful and itchy vagina, which she puts down to thrush. Unfortunately the medicine given to her to clear this up has not worked. She been and got another lot of the medicine and it still has not worked. Now I'm convinced that this event in the lift must be the reason and that I have given something to her. I absolutely cacking it. I don't want to lose my wife and kids for something I didn't want or instigate, but there is no way I can tell her and get her to believe me. Afterall, I'm a 6foot2 thirty something, why couldn't I have got her off me.

So what to do. I'm trying to get a test. I'm pretty sure that

1 - it will be positive for something. Afterall I don't know how many times she had pulled the lift stunt. Judging from the speed of the attack she seemed well practiced at it.
2 - I have infected my wife.

any advice will be appreciated. I'm panicking like mad. This morning I was up at 3 am and I can't eat anything. I have nobody I can tell this to and I really don't know what to do.

Please help!

    why didn't you tell the police?

    I was shocked and didn't think they would believe me. I was drunk! The whole thing happened in a lift - nobody saw it. It would have been my word against hers.

    Looking back I wish I had but I wanted to get clean and didn't really know what to do. Men are not supposed to be attacked by women.

    yeh i kinda thought it might be along the lines of that, it's understandable really. when can you get tested? your local hospital gum clinic will probably have days where you can go in without an appointment. until then i wouldn't worry. have you had any symptoms?

    No symtoms at all. No pain, lumps, bumps, dribbles. When I had sex with my wife she started complaining of a 'painful' bout of thrush. As I said in the earlier post, 2 lost of canesten (sp?) and its still not shifted, which suggests to me that it is not thrush. She is going for a swab tomorrow when I guess my whole world could pretty much come tumbling down.

    As I said, I'm panicing about this big time. What did I say to her to make her thing I was up for it. I was pretty mych out of it. I know from past experiance that she'd have to have been some kind of snake charmer to raise the little guy!

    No symptoms so I tried to put it behind me - then this! So not getting tested is another mistake which will cost me very dearly.

    Can you even transmit STIs through saliva? Because if so you could catch them through kissing and I've never heard of that, but then again maybe I'm just naive or misinformed. Best to get tested to put your mind at rest, but try your best not to worry until then, if she has caught something off you then there's nothing you can do to change it and worrying isn't going to help anyone.

    But there is too much at risk not to worry. I stand to lose my wife, kids and house. No matter what I say is she going to think

    a - he went away on business and picked somebody up and brought home a dose

    or

    b - what I outlined above.

    There is no way she is going to believe me. Blokes don't get attacked by women.

    anybody know the odds on getting something from this. I'm guessing she had done this before.

    I wish I had gone to the police, at least then I could come clean. This is eating me away.

    The odds on getting something like this are really really really low, that's why kissing is safe!

    Go to the GUM clinic for your peace of mind. Get tested, give them a false name if you want to but realistically I think it's something else. Women can get all sorts of things like this that aren't sexually transmitted.

    thrush can be a very difficult thing to shift, and there are also thousands of other bacteria and things that normally live in the vagina and sometimes get unbalanced and can cause very unpleasent things. i very much doubt you could have given you anything really, and if she had i'm sure you would have had symptoms, i.e. if you had caught herpes or something.

    First of all, it's really unlikely that this encounter will lead to you catching anything. But, to put your mind at rest, make an appointment with the GUM clinic for some tests and a chat. You can find your nearest one here.

    The main issue here is your guilt and your relationship. You can't go on like this and it seems like you need to make a decision whether or not to tell your wife and stick to it, rather than agonising over it all the time. It sounds like you're in a loving and committed relationship, you may be surprised at how much you'll be able to get through together if you are honest. But it's your choice and only you can decide.

    I've just paid a chunk of money over to get tested private rather than the NHS. Couldn't get an appointment at any of the local clinics and should have the results in less than 2 days. I was told pretty much the same thing there as here, that the chances are quite low - still plays on your mind though.

    To actually have somebody from the medical profession say that the chances were low is a help though.

    Still wish I'd reported the initail incident. If the sexes had been reversed, then it would have been attempted rape or serious sexual assault, but as I said, a combination of embarrsament, shock and complete stupidity stopped me. I still can't belive I let it happen to me. One more for the evils of drink!

    well to be honest you have 2 options.

    you either tell her

    or

    you have to stop letting it prey on your mind

    I had pretty much put it out of my mind and plumped for option 1. Then when she told me of her stubborn infection I almost blurted out number 2 (a few times). Now depending on the outcome of the tests, if I'm in the clear, then no need to bring it up! And remeber not to drunk too much next time I'm away on business. If the test is positive then I have a whole different problem to deal with.

    Thanks for all the comments this far, they are very much appreciated.

    Good luck with the results. For all you know it could be that she has something wrong with her.

    Has she been tested for anything yet or not?

    Negative!!!!!!

    Tests have come back and I'm negative - big false alarm. Tonight I am most definately going to have plenty of beer in my own personal celebration at home! Paid a load to have the tests done at a private doctors so the results would come back in 2 days. Worth every penny. GUM clinics quote 2 weeks - I'd have gone mental waiting that long.

    Thanks for all your positive comments. They were all very much appreciated. At least I will have done well on the diet front as I've eaten nothing since Monday - where is that vending machine!

    I don't see what he would have learnt. Its not like he was intentionally unfaithfull if you can even call it that.

    It was more something that would shit you up and you hope it wouldn't happen again, which under the circumstances it would be unlikely.

    I'm glad everything has worked out good for you anyway :)
