    Vaginal itching after protected sex

    Hi, I'm having a feminine issue and I want to get the opinions of women who might be able to help me.
    I had sex, sort of, with a guy and he used a condom. We didn't actually have sex... we had sex for literally less than 60 seconds because I never wanted to do it and I made him stop. He had a condom on the entire time and he only in sexual contact with me (sorry I don't want to be graphic) for around one minute at the most. I immediately asked him to stop as soon as he started. That same night, I started feeling itchy and the itch has gotten progressively worse. I wonder if I'm just psyching myself out or if I have cause for a legitimate concern.
    Am I allergic to latex or do you think I contracted something through the condom even though he did not ejaculate?
    I have battled with BV for years... but I don't know if this is my BV interacting with the condom and making me feel this way.. or if it's because I hadn't had sex with this guy in years and it's because he's a "new" partner... or if I've just been infected with something. I'm kinda scared though. I have loads of antibiotics from all the times I have had BV. The BV always comes back and the side-effects from the antibiotics are insane. But I'm wondering if I should just take them, just in case I got an STI... because I don't want to spread anything if I do have it. Is this even cause for me to get tested? I've been tested a million times and I know I didn't currently have an STI. Am I overreacting here or what? It seems so unlikely to get an STI from protected sex when the guy didn't ejaculate or even penetrate me all the way. But why do I feel itchy then? Is it all in my mind? BV? Or could I really have an STI?

    Well... apparently I have a yeast infection. That's what all signs are pointing to anyway. I'm about to go to CVS to buy one of those yeast infection tester kits. But I'm pretty sure that's what it is.... the dryness, the white clumps, the itching, the little yeasty scent. It makes sense too because last time I had oral sex with this same guy, I got oral thrush... and even though we used a condom, I think whatever spermicide or whatever was on the condom (a Trojan XL) probably just made me react badly. I always feel like that with condoms but I can never tell if I'm just paranoid or just going through the motions with BV. I'm still worried about it being an STI but the kit will tell me if I have trich... if it were anything else, it wouldn't even show up like that right away after having sex.

      Maybe he didn't apply the condom correctly (He put it on his penis the wrong way then turned it around) so it still touched the outside of the condom as well as the inside. I'd suggest visiting your gynecoligist if you cant figure out what the problem is. He'll be able to tell you what it is, or if its just an allergic reaction
