    Question

    well a couple of days ago i went to a party, got drunk and had sex for the first time with some random guy. Two days later i got a really sore throat and white discharge appeared in my underwear. I dont know if i should get tested or not since he used a condom (i think), but i dont want to tell my mom unless i have a chance of getting an STD. Do you think i could have an STD?

    Answer

    Drinking that much at your age and unprotected sex suggest you have a lot to talk about with your mom and your doctor. It is a good idea to get tested - you can see your doctor without telling your mom or go to Planned Parenthood, but talking to mom sounds like a good idea to me.
