Can you catch a disease from the OBGYN?

This is almost 100% impossible. The equipment used is disposable (yes, including the speculum) and comes sealed and sterilized. Also, STD's are viruses or bacteria that cannot live without a host. Therefore if you were somehow exposed to a speculum, q-tip, swab, glove or table that someone that had an STD's bodily fluids were on the virus or bacteria would already be dead and not able to infect you. Gonorrhoea for example is the diease cause by Neisseria gonorrhoea which depends on certain nutrients to survive (they wouldn't be getting these nutrients from plastic!!) They are SEXUALLY transmitted diseases....i.e. not transmittable through anything besides oral, vaginal or anal sex.

It can, depending on how long you had it before you were diagnosed.  Since you can have it without symptoms, sometimes it is hard to know how long you had it.  If it was for years, it can cause some real damage, so the sooner you catch it and treat it, the better.  The disorder it can cause is called Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, and can lead to ectopic pregnancies, etc.

You could still catch it possibly. Most def if she has an outbreak. I think it depends on where the outbreaks occur. But to be extra safe, talk with a REAL nurse or doctor.\n\nThere should be a hotline that you could call as well. Search for it on the net.

It's possible, but not likely.  Was your girlfriend hospitalized?  Did she press charges?  Her ob/gyn should be your main source of answers for this question.

It would take a quart of saliva to catch anything.  You need to educate yourself on the risk factors.

There are several diseases one can get from doing what you did, not the least of which is AIDS or Hepatitis B or C, depending on how sterile the needle was and who used it for what. You need to see a doctor.
