STDs :: Yeast Infection Or Herpes?
I can't get officially tested for 4 more days, and it's clouding my vacation. I'm terrified that I have herpes. I know it's not prudent to ask the internet to try and diagnose me, but hopefully people on this forum are knowledgeable enough to give some advice. I either have a yeast infection or herpes.
Background: On Monday I completed about 10 days of antibiotics (yeast infection?). I also had sex with my new boyfriend for the first time two weeks ago, and again a few days ago (herpes?). We used condoms both times, but I know now that herpes can still spread. I didn't notice any symptoms on him. I should have asked before we had sex if he's been tested for anything, I asked him a couple of days ago and he assured me he's never noticed he had anything & the army tested him for major STDs (not sure if this includes herpes).
Symptoms: On Monday I was feeling nauseous all day and threw up. On Tuesday I had a 100 degree fever and body aches. I know that first HSV infections can lead to flu-like symptoms , but I also had just been in 3 international airports a few days previously and was jet lagged/sleep deprived so my immune system could've been iffy. Tuesday afternoon I notice slight itching around my vaginal opening. Wednesday morning I wake up and my vagina is caked with thick white discharge and the slight itching around my opening stayed the same. Some thick discharge continues. Today (Thursday) the itching isn't too bad. I woke up and checked myself in the mirror and notice a few slight, uncolored bumps around my vaginal opening. I didn't notice them when I checked Tues/Wed but it could have been due to insufficient lighting. I also shaved down there a week ago so they could be razor irritation? But I bet I'm kidding myself and they're herpes blisters. ****.
Does it sound more like herpes or a yeast infection? Should I buy an OTC yeast infection medication today?
STDs :: Herpes Or Fordyce Spots
I'm a male, 25 years of age, who has braces, so I chronically get some ulcers in my mouth due to the braces and drinking and such. This past week I drank an abundant amount of alcohol. I also smoked some dabs (very concentrated form of marijuana) which I normally never do. During the week I drank out of multiple random beverages that people had drank out of. I also kissed a girl/ she gave me oral sex, which happened about 2 days ago. I messaged the girl asking if she had ever come into contact with any STD's. She said no. I have an ulcer or two in my mouth and on my tongue that I chalked up to heavily drinking and the braces (figure I may have bit my tongue being so drunk). They looked fairly normal compared to any other ulcers I had received in the past and began healing as usual. I noticed some small white bumps or spots (because they aren't really bumpy) on the upper part of my lips and in the corner of my mouth (still on my lips). When I do research on the bumps they closely resemble the pictures I see for Fordyce Spots. They don't really resemble the pictures for oral herpes. They aren't posing any problems of pain either. I was heavily exposed to the sun this week (almost everyday) and didn't really possess the best hygiene. I went to the doctor today and he really wasn't much help because he didn't even really look at my lips. Just asked if I had been sexually active, I told him yes and what happened. Then he automatically assumed it was probably herpes and prescribed me some meds. Then said to come back in two weeks and get tested. I plan on getting tested this week and then again in two weeks as well, but I'm not sure if it's Herpes or the Fordyce Spots or just me being paranoid. Or if it could be something caused by smoking the marijuana and heavily drinking. I also don't know if it's an allergic reaction of some type. But I'm freaking out.
View 1 RepliesSTDs :: Protected Sex, But Unprotected Oral - Herpes Or Syphilis
I am straight male in my 30's.
Today I messed up and had sex with a sex worker. The sex was 'protected' at all times - we used a condom. HOWEVER, she sucked and licked my testicles and the very base of my shaft. Sorry to get into the details, but perhaps this is important - we had short vaginal and somewhat rough anal sex. No artificial lubricant was used. I didn't inspect the condom in details afterwards, but it seemed OK.
My last shave 'down there' was 2 days ago. Now I notice that my skin is still somewhat irritated (red bumps), although I don't see any obvious cuts. There is the possibility of micro cuts, though...
Needless to say, now when the sane judgment came back to me, I have a few questions/concerns:
1. What is the major STDs I should be worried about now? It is my estimate that it is Syphilis. I am not really worried about HIV (condom didn't break) or Herpes (it is now kind of common). Genital warts - slim chance, there is a 100 strains and only a few cause the warts.
2. Assuming I have caught Syphilis, am I immediately contagious to others, or first I have to reach 1st or 2nd phase of the disease?
3. Is Syphilis contracted when it penetrates into the bloodstream (i.e. there has to be a CUT), or as soon as skin (any skin) touches the lesion. If there is no lesion whatsoever, how contagious is it still?
STDs :: Rash On Groin - Herpes Or Infected Hair Follicles?
I noticed a rash where my groin meets my thigh, it was a bit itchy but the feeling went away a couple days ago, i was looking at it today and the skin is very dry, peeling a bit and some hair follicles appear inflamed, look like pimples. is this a mild genital herpes outbreak? i am a male and had protected sex with a women about 2 weeks ago, i had some burning sensations after the first week but they all but went away and came and went during times of high anxiety, but these hair follicles are really freaking me out.
View 3 RepliesHIV :: Fingering, French Kissing, Licking Clitoris Of The Stripper?
I went to a strip club and visited the VIP lounge. While there I french kissed and fingered a stripper for 20-30 minutes. During these actions, I licked my finger after rubbing her clitoris and applied some of my saliva for lubrication. My finger penetrated her vagina. I also licked her clitoris once for a few seconds. No other sexual activities occurred. I didn't think anything of this encounter at first and had unprotected intercourse and performed cunninglus on my wife the next evening. To say the least, I have been running this through my mind for the last two weeks and I can tell that I am stressed with a very high level of anxiety. I have a seven-month old child that is breast feeding which is adding to the stress and anxiety over this incident. I felt and feel terrible about the situation that I put myself and my family in and told my wife, which she is pissed about to say the least, but feels there is no concern. Couple questions:
1. Is there a risk for HIV from fingering, french kissing, licking clitoris of the stripper? When nervous I bite the skin around my nails. There was no bleeding, but some could have been raw.
2. I now have a sore throat, feel weak with muscle fatigue and am experiencing headaches. Could these be indicators of HIV or another STD?
3. Should I seek out testing for HIV and other STDs based on this event and when should I test for this?
4. Should I ask my wife to stop breast feeding?
STDs :: Red Bumps On Penis On And Off
Tiny, red bumps appear on shaft of penis on and off again. About a mm in diameter. No pain, no itchiness. I've recently been tested and everything came back negative.
They show up in my pubic area, too. Could they just be clogged pores/ingrown hairs?
They first appeared about 5 months ago. I had protected sex with a girl I didn't know well. She did also performed oral sex on me. First symptoms showed up about 20 days after.
They normally appear for about a week, then disappear. Went to the doctor and got checked for a variety of STDs including herpes -- everything came back normal.
I've been symptom free for about 2 months now, but it looks like they're back. I haven't had sex with anyone since that encounter. Help?
STDs :: What Can Cause An Itchy Penis?
A few days ago, my boyfriend asked me a question that really threw me for a loop. He asked if I'd had sex with anyone else but him because a few weeks ago, a few days after giving him head, he noticed some itching inside his penis. It comes and goes, but it was so bad that night that he felt like he didn't have any choice but to ask. He asked me if I'd had sex with anyone else in the past month, and I was able to honestly say I hadn't. I've also been tested (I'm a guy and they did a **** test) for gonorrhea and chlamydia, and the results were negative.
What could his problem be?
If it could affect anything, he did change his diet considerably not long before it started. There is no burning, and no discharge. Just an occasional itchy sensation inside the penis.
So... yeah. To reiterate: I haven't been with anyone but him for two months now, his penis started itching a few weeks ago, I tested negative via a **** test for gonorrhea and chlamydia a couple of weeks ago, he has no burning or discharge, and I have nothing to indicate anything is wrong with me.
What might we be looking at here?
STDs :: After Oral Sex - Tingling In Penis
A day after i received oral sex from a friend I began noticing a tingling sensation in my penis. It was a brief encounter where i stopped half way through. The tingling has been going on for two days now, could this be an std? She did brush and gargle with mouth wash before performing.
I have not seen a discharge from my penis nor pain when i urinate. But tonight i did notice a yellowish stain in my underwear that did not look like urine.
STDs :: Red Spot On Penis After Oral Sex
4 days ago I received unprotected Oral Sex from someone I didn't know who stated they were STD free. Now a few days later I have a small red spot on the shaft of my penis. It's very faint (so far) and doesn't seem to hurt.
Could this be an STD from the oral sex just 4 days ago?

View 2 RepliesSTDs :: Allergy - Tingling Sensation In The Tip Of My Penis
I'm 28 m and I recently had protected sex with a condom with a girl that I know has a very high amount of partners. I usually do not use condoms (This may have been my 5th times or so) since i've had one partner for 9 years prior. The next day i felt a very slight tingling sensation in the tip of my penis. The sex was very short. The next day(2) it was slightly more noticeable and the day after it was definitely more noticeable not going away all day. By the end of day 3 it seemed to spread a bit down the penis along with a very slight discomfort or tingling in the left testicle. In between the anus and penis possibly had a few tingles on day 4. I'm 4 days in and the symptoms have not passed. It came and went the first 2 days periodically and on day 3 and 4 it seems to be more consistent. It seems to build up more before I urinate. Relief goes away after i urinate for a short period time. On the first couple days the relief would last much longer. When i woke up this morning I did not notice it as much and then 20 minutes later it hasn't stopped all day. I do consider myself to be a bit of an anxious person but i do not take any medications or anything. Out of the research i've done i've limited the std to gonorrhea or a possible allergy to the condom. However, I do not have any of the discharge conditions. My penis may have leaked 1 drop here and there over the past couple days of urine but that's it. I do feel the need to go to the bathroom a bit more than usual. Thanks in advance, this is the only time in my life I have had anything like this.

One night while my wife was at a girls night out i was drinking and got a bit drunk. I went to get more beer walking 3 blocks away. On my way a woman who looks like she was mid 30s was standing in the corner and long story short told me if i got her 2 beers she would make it my while. I went and got it and walked back to her with some beers for me. This is where i regret so much what happened. She took me by a tree and told me to take out my member and she proceeded to service me. It lasted maybe 30 seconds and was rough i then came and ran home scared. I went upstairs and peed and washed my member and put antibacterial gel and noticed a burn like a small cut on the bottom of the shaft. That was 8.days ago. That night i woke with a pain of guilt in my upper back and my urethra had a slight sting. The sting has lasted these 8 days and there was no itching. No discharge and no pain when peeing. On day 4 i had normal sex with my wife and had no pain with cumming. On day 7 my wife and i sexex 3 times and in between she also gave me a hand job there was some dry sex and this day my urethra had itched a little bit. That night my penis started itching. Today day 8 i have no discharge no pain peeing but my penis has many super tiny bumps and the skin is red and irritated it itches alot and now the tip of my penis where i pee is sensitive. It doesn't burn when i pee no discharge but i have alot of little tiny bumps that are hard to see and my penis is very itchy and sore and the urethra tip is sensitive. What could this be? I need to see the doctor i imagine? My wife says she doesn't feel any pains or stings i regret this so much i can't believe i did this i love my wife thank you for your help.i have put anti fungal creme and i took a uti test which came negative for leuk and the other one and the antifungal didn't work for a couple hours but i THINK its working now im not sure but i an itchy the bumps are tiny and firm and don't have center or fluid filled i will see how they look tomorrow
View 6 RepliesSTDs :: Unprotected Oral - Sensation At The Tip Of The Penis
I received from a female unprotected oral sex last week ago Wednesday (today is friday). Went in for an STD test on Monday. All tests came back negative. That said, while I would not call urination painful, I would say i have a slight burning sensation at the tip of the penis, no discharge or any other symptoms. Though always looking for discharge because "i believe" i feel it. I admit, this all might be in my head...being that my tests were negative should I not be worried or do I have NGU? I have a rx for doxy and considering taking it just a precaution but cant tell if I am just being a hypochondriac.
View 3 RepliesSTDs :: Tingling And Red Rash-like Mark Around The Tip Of My Penis
I recently had protected sex (protected oral and penetration). After sex I showered and tried to force out urine (which I had to force out because I didn't really need to go). I also cleaned the penis tip with a pressurized shower head. That night I noticed a red rash-like mark around the tip of my penis. That went away the next day but since then for the past 4 days my penis has felt very sensitive, like as if it's constantly being rubbed, which makes me feel like I need to urinate. There is no discharge or burning sensation when I urinate. Could this be an STD or perhaps something less sinister related to the forced urination and pressured shower head?
View 1 RepliesSTDs :: White Spot / Rash On Penis
A question regarding a painless white spot or rash on penis. It was transparent at first but seems fairly visible now. It was a little itchy like a mosquito bite sensation before but feels sort of like normal flesh. It is white in colour and does not have any noticeable fluid accumulation underneath. I did have unprotected sense roughly a month prior to this situation.
View 3 RepliesSTDs :: Red Rash And Bumps On Penis Shaft
About 3 months ago i noticed a small bump on the bottom of my penis shaft. The next day there was about 5 to 7 and only 1 crater looking very small bump on the tip. It went away after a week. I went to a doctor who said it had To be herpes and u took an icg or igg urine test and hsv 2 came back but the doctor said it's not very accurate. On my 2nd visit he said there's no way it's herpes and that it looks like warts so he zapped or burned half of them which really hurt. He referred me to a urologist who said it could be anything and gave me antibiotics which didn't do anything. I have been staying away from sex and stopped mastyrvating because every time i do the red crusty rash shows up around my penish on the top of the shaft or and small bumps that go away after a few days the red rash looks like chaffing based on what i researched and i don't have an answer for the bumps. Again, the bumps or rash show up right after sex if masturbation. Have a red rash with somewhat cracking dry skiing under the top of the penis on my shaft. There is no discharge. No pain or burn when i pee.
