After unprotected sex at 20, proper screening is important even if there are no symptoms. It is advisable to test for common STIs like HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and others at the appropriate window period. Avoid self-medication.
For now, maintain hygiene and avoid further unprotected contact. If there are symptoms like discharge, sores, itching, or burning, do not ignore them. You may visit our clinic for confidential counselling, screening guidance, and personalised care.

Hi there.
Understand your anxiety.
Basically this is known as Venereophobia
If your partner has no symptoms of any STI, you can rest assured all is well.
It is just stress related and a session with a counsellor may work just as well for you.
Objectively, go across to any standard lab or search ONLINE for a STD or STI package blood test and do this to put your mind at rest.
Review with the test results and 📥 or opt for an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation package on this App🙏
Health Tips
Relax and practice some breathing exercises to allay anxiety.
Good to connect with your partner and get him/her checked as well. It appears from your description you know the person and it's always good to be considerate of others.
Godspeed 🙏
