I am currently experiencing some stomach gurgling, abdominal pain, gas and loose/soft but not watery stools. My bowel movements have increased to about twice to three times a day. I have had no other symptoms with it (no fevers, no swollen glands, no rash etc). I have lost about five to six pounds in the past month. Several tests have been performed that have returned negative and have not shown any problems. This has lasted about a month. This change in my body has caused me to start reflecting on everyone I have slept with and to wonder if I may be at risk.
I had unprotected sex like eleven years ago (once) with a girl from Africa. The other episode which was six months ago was a brief encounter probably for about two minutes before putting on a condom. None of these were anal sex. I have had other partners, but they were all protected vaginal intercourse and I have received and given unprotected oral sex a few times too (heterosexual).
My internet research has led to nothing but stress and I am not sure if stress is a factor with my stomach problems. I talked to my doctor once, before the stomach problems started and asked him about testing, and he asked me questions about being promiscuous and he concluded that he didnt think I needed a test, especially not for STDs if I had no symptoms. He told me as far as HIV, if I really insisted then I could get tested. I am very nervous about testing and I am not sure if it is even worth it. I have read archives from the forum and I would have gone with the zero to low risk apart from the incidence from about eleven years ago. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
