Advice On Chlamydia And Gonorrhea?
I have a girlfriend, about a month ago I had sex outside my relationship with an escort. The condom broke. I was worried about chlamydia and gonorrhea immediately. Although I never got any kind of burning sensation or coloured discharge.
few days after the encounter I saw my GP and asked him for treatment, without testing. A positive test result cold potentially have devastating effect and word would get out believe it or not. So the doctor gave me a course of azithromycin for 5 days along with a course of doxycycline for a week.
Two weeks after that I found our that the medicine he gave me does not cure gonorrhea only chlamydia. Also at the same time I was told by my girlfriend that she thinks she has a yeast infection. to be on the safe side I treated her and myself again with cefixime 400 for 1 week and 1 gram of azithromycin on the first day followed by 500mg the second day.
We are now a week on from that treatment, and I still have doubts about myself. My girlfriend's "yeast infection" has cleared up almost completely. But for me I have a weird feeling in my penis, almost like a slight itchiness inside. Also I feel as if there is always a drop left that I need to squeeze out, and when I do squeeze it I get the teeniest drop of clear fluid that comes out, also my testicles feel itchy (not sure if this is related). At first I just thought it was my mind overthinking and me worrying that was doing this... but now I'm quite sure that things are not normal
I dont want this to ruin our relationship as we have two children together, and I need any treatment to happen in secret. I can get my hands on any medication that is required quite easily.
1- What do I do about myself? Is there any additional meds I need to take? Do I need the intramusclar injection of Ceftriaxone??
2- Do I need to do anything about my girlfriend? especially since I cant tell her what has happened for the sake of our kids!! Is she fine if she is symptom free? Could she be cured with the course of antibiotics I gave her? Please note she also took anti fungal meds at the same time.
Would really appreciate any advice I could get.

Sexual Health :: STD Symptoms - HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia And Gonorrhea Negative?
I had unprotected sex towards the end of February (No symptoms) but decided to get checked anyway. 10 days after possible infection, I had a test for HIV, Syphilis, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea - all tests came back negative. The doctor advised me to come back at the 1 month period since possible infection as the HIV test may not be 100% accurate.
I went back 1 month after possible infection and only tested for Syphilis and HIV - these came back negative.
The morning my results came back (In the UK they just text the results to you) I noticed some semen like discharge from my penis - thought nothing of it, assuming it was just a wet dream type scenario.
This discharge continued for about a week when I started to get a bit suspicious so I made an appointment at an STD clinic. In the days leading up to the appointment the discharge started to turn to a yellow/green puss type colour.
6-7 weeks after possible infection I went back for a 3rd time and explained my discharge symptom (only symptom!). The doctor took a swab test and told me immediately that I had some kind of infection, the only way to know for sure what it was, was to do another chlamydia and gonorrhea test. She only prescribed me a 7 day course of Doxycycline.
Two days after taking the medication I had swelling in the veins and tubes surrounding my testicles, but no swelling/pain in the testicles themselves. I was advised by 111 (NHS helpline) to go to A&E immediately, they said it was most likely a symptom of chlamydia and to continue taking the medication.
Now (Sunday) I finished the course of Doxycycline, discharge seems to have disappeared but the swelling in my scrotum is still present.
I got my results back and I tested negative AGAIN for chlamydia and gonorrhea...
I have no idea what to do now.. did I get flase negatives? Is it something else entirely? Anyone know what I should do?
STDs :: Gonorrhea/Chlamydia? Testicle Pain, Urge To Urinate And Watery Ejaculate
I keep on urinating and I have some random pains in my pubic area, hips, testicles. The pain is very mild, like just pushing your thumb on your hipbone.
I keep on urinating, especially after drinking to glasses of water. In less than five minutes I have the urge to urinate. No pain and no discharge but my ejaculate is watery.
I also have this sore throat, my throat feels rough when I swallow on nothing but it doesn't hurt when I swallow food.
Is it possible that I got this from a handjob I got from a prostitute more than a week ago?
HIV Risk Assessment :: Oral Sex, Pre-Ejaculate Exposure
I know my question may have been asked a million times before but I want to get a first hand assessment of my potential risk with HIV based from the series of events that acquired during that night. I was firm to believe that oral sex is safe - up until I read some articles on the internet. Some websites say it's low-risk. Some say it is moderate risk. I do not know which claim is more true than the other
So how this is my last sexual encounter went:
- So I met guys
- I did brush my teeth lightly.
- We basically did give and receive oral sex. No anal sex was done .
- One of the two guys did finger me.
- The whole act last around 30 - 40 minutes
- he ejaculated 5-10 minutes after through masturbation. He "unleashed" it in my legs or in my chest.
- About a minute or two, I gargled water
- We had a small talk after the deed. I was kind of hesitant to believe that he was negative although that's what he did told me. Aside from that, he told me that what we did was a low-risk activity.
Now for my questions:
- Let' say he was indeed positive, what are the chances of him passing the virus on this one time incident?
- From what I have read over at the internet, saliva has a capability to deactivate the virus once any fluid comes contact to it. Is this accurate? Does brushing one's teeth lessen this saliva's capability?
- Is pre-ejaculate just as infectious as semen or blood?
- Would brushing my teeth before or after the act really create cuts/bleeds deep enough that some pre-ejaculate may come in contact with my bloodstream?
- What about deep throat oral sex. What are the risks say he had pre-ejaculate if I was doing it to him?
- Let's also assume that he had a soaring viral load, will this affect my chances? Again, some websites argue that the higher the VL, the higher the risk one is exposed to.
- What are your thoughts about fingering. Is this safer than say, oral and anal sex?
- where I live we have Rapid ICT for testing. How conclusive is it on 6, 8, 10, 12 weeks of testing? Should I be tested after 12 weeks for it to be definitely conclusive or 12 weeks is more than enough?
I know that the only way to know my status is to get tested. It was only been six weeks since the act happened and my anxiety has been killing me to death regarding this incident. I do not want to be the first person documented to have contracted the disease through oral sex.
STDs :: Gonorrhea - Unprotected Oral From CSW

What is the likelihood of getting gonorrhea particularly if this female had throat/oral gonorrhea ?
My symptoms are itching penile head and a sore throat / loss of voice
STDs :: Gonorrhea After Fellatio (oral) Symptoms?
I received fellatio 11 days ago, and after about 2 days, intermittently, I would feel a slight sting at the end of my penis, and then in the last few days, it has become a bit worse when I urinate.. Not unbearable, mind you, but very noticeable..
I also noticed tonight a little bit of white discharge.
I have researched symptoms to death, and I cannot seem to find any answers to questions like:
If you have burning when urinating (as some people are asymptomatic) does it burn
a) every time you urinate?
b) if you aren't drinking enough water, and maybe it is more acidic? (Sometimes it doesn't sting at all, I mean, until this morning, I was 24 hours without symptoms
c) for the duration of the pee? (for me it just happens at the end, and for a little bit after)
If there is discharge, is it constant, or could it perhaps just happen a few times a day?
Every site also says that it should be treated ASAP to avoid complications.. exactly how long does this mean? It causes problems after 2 weeks? 2 months? None give a time frame.
A doctor prescribed me 250mg Ciprofloxacin 3x a day.. I am on day 3, but it seems to be getting worse..
- Even though the clap is indicated for this, many sites also say that due to resistant strains, this stuff is pretty useless..
And the big question - is it possible to have a strain, which is simply not treatable, for the rest of my life? (or is just just a matter of bombarding my body with more and stronger medications until it goes away?
Chlamydia By Giving Oral Sex To A Woman?
I've several questions regarding oral sex and the spreading of STIs. (i) If a man can catch an STI like Chlamydia by giving oral sex to a woman, does the STI live in his throat and, therefore, is the only way he can spread Chlamydia by action involving his throat - kissing, giving oral sex etc? In other words, could a man have Chlamydia in his throat and be "clear" in his genitals? (ii) For a woman to catch an STI from giving oral sex to a man, does the man have to ejaculate in her mouth? Or is the act of simply taking his penis in her mouth enough for an STI to spread to her?
View 1 RepliesSyphilis Or HIV Exposure?
I am a 26 usually healthy male. Almost four weeks ago had sex with a 37 year old woman, condom broke unnoticed for we don't know how long. I panicked. 48 hours later was started on pep treatment for possible hiv exposure for 28 days.
10 days later an open sore emerged on the bottom of my penis along with swollen non painful pelvic lymph glands on both sides. Went to an std doctor who said it doesn't look like syphilis but i should get tested in a month. Got tested on 14 day after exposure blood and urine for all std, all negative. Today is 25 days after exposure and i have a few questions :
1. Are 4 weeks after exposure enough for blood and urine tests to show std infections such as syphilis? By the way the sore didn't hurt and was gone after a week.
2. If it is syphilis what are the chances she gave me hiv along with it.? i read a lot and am petrified about this.
3. What are the chances that pep would work if taken 48~50 hours after incident?
STDs :: Precum And Exposure
I received a lap dance in an adult bookstore.
There was no touching (of me) but by me, save rubbing the legs of my jeans or me touching/ untangling some jeweled thingy from her lingerie.
BUT I did masterbate and at one point even rubbed the tip of my penis head which was soaked with precum, with my hand. She had touched herself a few times but never touched me and never anywhere near my penis.
My specific question is this.
Because of the fluid from my penis is there a "way in," for any stds? Or is Precum something that only goes out not back in. Does Me touching my penis especially the Precum make me at risk for any stds?
Infertility? Too Much Laser Exposure?
I had IPL laser hair removal at a local salon. The technician gave me 5 sessions (each which included a free retouch session meaning a total of 10) with an interval of two weeks. Obviously i hadn't done my research well and it didn't work. I am going to the leading laser hair removal in my country now..my concern is ...is that too much laser exposure to my area and my ovaries? Would this cause infertility or anything of that matter? It's not about the laser itself but to the amount of exposure that i am being exposed to.
View 1 RepliesUnprotected Sex :: Fearing The HIV Exposure
I'm a female, had unprotected vaginal and oral sex 4 weeks ago. Two days after that a guy told me he was sick (sore throat and lite fever). A week after that I got sick (sore throat, stuffed nose and cough), which passed in about a week and felt like a usual cold. However, I am fearing the HIV exposure. Had two negative oraquick tests (3 and 4 weeks), had complete blood work at the doctors (including NAT) 5 days ago, but the results are not in yet. I have bouts of panic and anxiety over this. Why does it take such a long time for the results to arrive (I did the whole STD panel, some results are in but they won't tell me which ones)? Does it mean that I tested positive and the lab is confirming the results which takes additional time, or is it normal to take that long? How reliable is the negative oraquick test at 4 weeks? Please help!
P.S. The guy says he's clean, supposedly he's just got off the LTR and his ex has recently tested negative for everything. I know for sure I was clean too, haven't had sex for almost a year prior to that and donate blood regularly.
P.S.2 My only symptoms were sore throat, cough and runny nose. I didn't have rash, swollen lymph nodes, fever and all that... I understand this is consistent with the common cold, but yet don't know how to survive till Monday. How do I stop myself from compulsive oraquick testing?

HIV :: Sore Throat After 4-5 Days Of Possible Exposure
I had a non sexual encounter with a bar girl some days back. During the process she gave me a hand job and we had smooched for a couple of times. After 4-5 days of this incident, I got some sore throat which got aggravated to running nose and some light cold as I was sleeping in air conditioning environment. Since then I have been extremely worried if there is even a slightest possibility that it is due to the transmission of HIV virus. I am not able to correlate the occurrence of sore throat and extremely worried because of that.

View 3 RepliesHIV :: Oraquick Test Reliable After Years Of Exposure?
I am struggling with a concern I have been having for about two weeks. I have taken the oraquick at home oral swab 4 times And tested negative 4 times.. I feel as though my first result wasn't completely followed as directed so really only 3 negative results.. It has been 3 years since I would have came in contact with HIV.. So I guess my question is..Can I trust these results?
