please go to a family planning clinic or doctor. all infomation
is kept totally confidential no matter what condition some
one has.even if they are a minor.im not going to stress the
importance of practiceing safe sex,because you already know.
you can not tell if anyone has std by the way they look.
burning while peeing is usually a sign of a urineary track
infection witch must be treated with medication.all it takes
is a simple urine culture. the discharge can be a yeast infection
or from an std.it has got to be looked at under a microscope.
please use protection till your treated because if its an
std your boyfriend will have to be treated to if your having
unprotected sex.please make an appointment and get checked asap.
i hope things go well for you. good luck
