My partner advised me that he has experienced burning urination and severe diarrhea for two days, and that his doctor advised him to come in and be screened for STDs. We have only been with each other for the past 14 months, and have both been screened within the last 6 months. I have no symptoms, and was just screened last week during my annual cervical exam. My partner is very upset, and I tried telling him that in all likelihood it is not an STD, but something like a UTI.
However, in searching symptoms I cannot find anything STD-like, or urinary infection that lists burning urination and diarrhea together as possible symptoms for a male.
And my question is, what is the likelihood this could be an STD versus something simple like a UTI?
