Sore Throat After Unprotected Oral Sex
I am a gay guy and i recently had an encounter with a stranger.
We did not have anal sex we only did UNPROTECTED oral sex, he ejaculated in my mouth. He said he was clean STI/HIV free, however he had never been tested. He seemed healthy and the penis was clean.
After he ejaculated in my mouth I went home did a salt gargle and drank warm water.
The next day I woke up with a sore throat, very mild, i also had runny stool. But as soon as I forgot about how sore my throat was it went away. I was reading up on Google etc.. and it said that STI symptoms take anywhere from 2 days to months to develop and HIV can be quite a long time and you only see symptoms 3-4 weeks after exposure.
So personally I think it could be a bacterial infection, or pure anxiety, it was the second time in my life i had given oral to a man so I suppose my body isn't Used to it as well.
Its been 72 hours since the encounter the throat problem has subsided however i still have quite runny stool (not as runny as it was)
Could anxiety given me those symptoms, I was extremely worried.
I haven't had any problem on my testes or penis or in the pubic region.
STDs :: Sore Throat After Oral Sex
Just curious, sore throat after oral sex in couple hours is a sign of STD? I didn't have it before doing oral sex and I didn't swallow any semen, I spit it out and my saliva while performing.
View 3 RepliesHIV Prevention :: Persistent Sore Throat, Not Strep, No Fever Or Rash?
Almost exactly 30 days ago I had unprotected insertive vaginal sex with a woman I might categorize as low risk. Until this encounter I have only been with my wife (high school sweethearts). The woman in question is from northern Minnesota, white, in her 40s. I'm also in my 40s, white, also from rural Minnesota. For the past three weeks I've had sore throat, slightly swollen lymph nodes on my neck. No fever, no rash. Checked for strep, came back negative. I've confessed to my wife who appears willing to stay with me. I'm scheduled for HIV testing next week (4th generation). I have an appointment with ENT, but not for another month. In the meantime my anxiety level is quite high....I don't necessarily feel fatigued, or flu like. But the last couple of days my appetite has disappeared, which may be due to the anxiety. I am worried because the sore throat and slightly swollen lymph nodes have lasted this long without knowing the cause....Can't be cold, shouldn't last this long. Allergies? I take Zyrtec every day and seem pretty clear. Not much sinus congestion at all. Tonsillitis? One does appear a bit enlarged. All of a sudden? Seems coincidental. Near panic as I wait for my test....any possible reassurance to help get me through this weekend? Mono perhaps?

It feels like I smoked too much but I quit over 4 months ago. This sore throat has been around for almost a month and sometimes it's hard to swallow. It's not super painful but it's definitely not comfortable. There's really nothing else I can say to describe it. It just feels like your normal run of the mill sore throat.

Oral Thrush Connection With Cloudy Urine?
I'm 19 I've been having cloudy urine on and off for months now. I first noticed it when taking antibiotics. I've also been getting weird stomach growling sounds constantly since then as well.I don't see any blood and have back pain. I had a urine test sent of for infection which came back negative and have had 2 U&E blood test done which are also normal. My CK, CRP, TSH and Troponin levels are normal as well as my magnesium calcium and phosphates. I have oral thrush which my doctor thought might be causing the cloudy urine but the thrush is in the mouth. Could this be protein in the urine?
View 1 RepliesSore Throat :: Swollen Tonsils, Lump In Throat, Clear Mucus, Sore, Headache
My tonsils have been swollen for over a month, until last week they were painless, but now I have flu symptoms. Its quite scary, it affects my swallowing and I have a very very dry mouth, even when I drink loads of water all day. Hasn't affected my breathing as of yet, but feels like a lump in my throat is blocking it off.
This has been going for three days now.
Doctor said I need a blood test for glandular fever, which is next week.
I mentioned that I think I can feel my epiglottis swollen, and she laughed and said that is all the way down by my adam's apple and would have a job feeling that... even though i've seen many cases online where it's visible above the tongue and often can be felt.
Sore Throat :: Sore Throat, Overall Ill Feeling No Diagnosis
sore throat,fatigue, pain, no diagnosis Posted 10 minutes ago I'm sorry for the long post but I really need some help. I am 25 years old,female from Bulgaria. Everything started after 2 shots of progesterone done by my gyno. I had high prolactin levels and somewhat low progesterone and my period stopped so that is why she gave me shots. After the second shot I woke up with very bad pain and burning sensations in my sinuses,my whole body was in pain.And there it all begins.For 2 weeks I wasn't getting better, I had a fever (not very high),sinus pain and sore throat. Finally I visited a ENT doctor,she said that there was nothing wrong with me,everything-ears,nose throat looked fine but I asked for a sinus x-ray-it was also fine. Then my gyno advised me to culture my throat and nose. The results were staphylococcus aureus in nose and Moraxella catarrhalis in throat. I was prescribed cefpodoxime (due to antibiogram) took it for several days and I wasn't feeling any better,then my dr switched me to Cefuroxime,it did help at the beginning,I was feeling better but by the time I was taking my last pill all the symptoms returned. My sinuses didn't hurt anymore but my throat was on fire,muscle and joint pain,feverish feeling but no actual fever this time. So I was put on unasyn (Sultamicillin) on IV drip.I was getting no relief and was just feeling very sick from that med,so we stopped it. The I went to another ENT doctor and he told me there was nothing wrong with me, my throat looked fine and I had a little wound in my nose with blood. I had no runny nose. So I did a culture of my throat again and it happened to be Candida Glabrata ( may be because of all those antibiotics) I also had e.coli in my urine.I took one dose of Fosfomycin for my e.coli and it cleared up and I was put on IV drip again with fluconazole for my candida.I also had candida in my vaginal results. I started to get better on fluconazole but again it lasted 3 days and in the end of the treatment I was ill again. My ears started to hurt very badly,all other symptoms continued.I waited 2 weeks after the last antibiotic and did a nose and throat culture again in two different labs and there was no infection found, I also did a vaginal and urine tests again and the urine was fine, had some enterococcus faecalis but in small amounts from my vag microbiology. My gyno said that it is better to not treat it for now because of all the meds I took for those 2 months. Yes,it's been two months and I am only getting worse, my whole body is in pain,I am very fatigued,have the flu feeling sore throat, ear pain,lymph and joint pain,I feel very very ill. And the tests say nothing. On my blood test the only thing that was abnormal was my AST (antistreptolysin-titer) levels were high 310 (from 200 being the norm).Went to a 3rd ENT,he also said everything looked fine, my ears and throat are not inflamed and he said that it wasn't my ears that hurt but my face joints. So I am here,desperate for ome help, not getting better,not knowing what to do now.I started having very bad panic attacks because I think I am dying and no one can find what is that illness. Can it be some autoimmune response to the progesterone shots? I don't know anymore. It's a struggle to get out of bed really.

HIV Prevention :: Finger Or Hand Touching Condom
I was very scare and worried about my recent expose. during the April 14, i was visit the CSW. there are not any sexual contact, handjob and fingering or body rub happen in the expose. what i did is i ask for the CSW masturbate herself then i ask for passing me a condom as i would like to fingering her with protection. the concern part is that the CSW may have some vaginal fluids when she open the cover of condom for me then i got touch the condom and put my right hand finger into the condom but the end i dint fingering her as my nail is too sharp and i suddenly don't want to do that. but i got watch my hand and check again and again, i could not find any significant cut or fresh bleeding on my two hand or fingers. all my memory can recall is i got ask her to use another hand to pass me the condom.
1. may i know the risk of hiv and std from the incident?
2. can the hiv risk occur if the vaginal fluids contain of the surface of condom?
3. can the hiv risk occur from object? is the condom consider an object?
4. should i go for test?

View 1 RepliesHIV Prevention :: 64 Day Oraquick Finger Test Negative
My risk was unprotected vaginal sex with a female. We both had a drunken night and made a poor decision on not using protection. The next day I asked her status she said she was negative for hiv. Four days later we decided to do a rapid oraquick finger test at our local clinic. Mine and hers both came negative. We parted ways and I began with the "what if" factor. So I continued to test for hiv frequently 4 week 5,6,8,9 week negative. My question for you is since it is a oraquick finger test 2nd Gen I believe. Is it accurate at my 64 day 9 week test. Will it turn positive at 12 weeks?
View 6 RepliesClicking And Pain In My Left Ring Finger. NOT Trigger Finger?
I am 18 and back in May I guess I "jammed" my finger. I say I guess because I really don't know WHAT exactly happened. My two dogs got into a little fit and when I was separating the two of them I don't know what I did, but I really messed up my finger. After it all happened my hand hurt REALLY REALLY bad. It also started swelling pretty much immediately. I waited a couple days and then went to the ER because I figured maybe I dislocated my finger or something. They did an X-ray and came back and said there was nothing wrong, and probably a sprain so they sent me home with an ace bandage and some ibuprofen. Fast forward to now.
The swelling in my hand has gone away after about two months of not moving it a lot and keeping it wrapped up. But each time I completely straighten (like I am stretching my hand) out, my ring finger makes a clicking noise and kind of pops up. Moving it certain ways, making a fist, putting pressure, pulling, or grasping something wrong hurts extremely bad. I can feel it move down at the base of my finger (like my last knuckle). It has caused a problem for me because it hurts with most normal things that I do. Even typing this is irritating.
So I finally went to an orthopedic and he looked at my hand and X-rays and said he isn't sure what it is and he recommends me to see a hand surgeon.
I did. I drove almost 2 hours each way to see this doctor and here's what happened in a span of 3 different visits.
He suspected trigger finger even though he said certain symptoms were odd. He gave me a cortisone injection into my left ring finger and OMG that was painful. But to be honest that pain from the swelling of the injection was about as bad as my hand felt right after it happened. But sadly that didn't help. So my doctor sent me to get an MRI. With the results of the MRI, he told me that he saw swelling in my finger and that he thinks is in the sheath but said he doesn't know what is causing that. So he told me he was stumped and should see someone who is more of a specialist and gave me a few names. None of them take my insurance.
So I decided to put all of my info out here and see if someone has had something similar happen or knows what might be going on with my finger.
I will also post below the "findings" on my MRI report.
"There is a focus of marrow edema involving the dorsal aspect at the base of proximal phalanx fourth digit and adjacent dorsal aspect head of fourth metacarpal with a focal small cortical invagination of the metacarpal which may be post traumatic in etiology from previous impaction. No discrete fracture or dislocation is appreciated at the fourth digit IP joints pr MCP joint. The flexor and extensor mechanisms and tendons appear intact. No significant sized joint effusions. No significant degenerative or arthritic bony changes are appreciated. Visualized musculature has normal signal. Subcutaneous tissues are intact."
