Please help, inquiry of possible STD's

by curious559, May 18, 2009 09:10PM
Hello,

I have read through many articles on this site and I am still unclear whether or not I may have an STD. I have been with my current boyfriend for 8 months, and we frequently engaged in oral, and vaginal sex. 4 months ago, I had a severe yeast infection, and treated it, and was fine. About a month ago (two weeks after my boyfriend and I last had sex) I was treated for a bladder infection and after I had taken the treatment, I had some itching sensations. The treatment cleared everything up or so I thought, and I felt fine. I had regular menstration and everything seemed fine. My boyfriend and I had sex the other day and I experienced an intense burning sensation. He told me today that he has a scab on his penis, but no lesions, bumps, or anything of that matter. I am not sure if any of this could be linked. I know that a lot of STD's are asymptomatic, and vary in symptoms, but I would just like to narrow my search down to a few possibilities before I go and see my doctor again. Could my boyfriend be asymptomatic and had something like herpes or an STD from his previous relationships and not known about anything and then be developing symptoms just now? Or would he develop symptoms right after exposure? I have already made an appointment with my doctor for next week, but I would like to narrow my search down.

Thanks,
kd.

Both of you getting a full std screening done is in your best interest. Most folks aren't getting them or aren't getting a full screening done. Once you both know who has what then you'll know if you need to even be thinking std's or not for all of this.  The most common symptom of all std's is relatively no symptoms at all so regular testing is the best way to know your status.

You seeing your provider to get tested for yeast and bacterial infections too as well as std's is also the best idea. You were on antibiotics recently so your vaginal flora could've gotten messed up and allowed either to overgrow and cause you issues.
