What is going on?
I'm 50 years old. I was married for 17 years and faithful. I didn't even date for two years after that. I was possibly exposed to HSV 1 on a one nighter, but only oral sex was performed on her. My doctor had me take 1gm Valtrex for four days propholacticly due to my HSV1 concern. A week later, I then started dating a woman and having sex. I developed a small, tender spot on my glans and one on the membrain right beneath it about two weeks into our sexual relationship. Then a urethral infection with burning developed - not during urination, but when NOT urinating. I also had increased frequency of urination. I cut off all sexual contact immediately.
I then developed anal itching and tingling on my scrotum, and slight matting of my eyes. I saw my physician who initially diagnosed GC/Chlamydia. I took a test and took the antibitics propholactically. The test was never ran for the GC/Chlamydia due to a supposed screw up between the lab and doctor's office, and my doctor had me take another test three days after taking the antibiotics, one dose each. An RPR and Herpes Select was also run. I was given eye antibiotics and my eyes quit matting immediately after. The RPR and GC/Chlamydia both came back negative, which didn't surprise me.
The herpes select came back positive for both IGG HSV1 (5.0) and IGG HSV2 (2.0). IGM's for 1 and 2 were both negative. My doctor then was diagnosing yeast. She continually refused to run a culture for yeast or herpes. The spot never did blister and the sensitivity went away. The burning keeps reoccuring as well as the anal itching, but the anal itching is getting less. She diagnosed yeast again, but a week later then changed the diagnoses to herpes. I pointed out that in order for it to be HSV2, I would have had to have carried this virus for over twenty years, with no signs or outbreak whatsoever. Since IGM goes back a minimum of four months and the three partners are all negative, including the present girlfriend - how could this be? She then diagnosed yeast again.
In the sixth week since the urethral burning started and has never left, I've developed kindney swelling and swelling in groin and yesterday painin my right testicle. The doctor once again back to herpes 2 and gave me a prescription for Valtrex, 1mg X 10. She also took a sample for GC/Chlamydia again, which I know will be negative since I've been treated and haven't had sex since. The doctor told me she thought my back swelling was muscles and the groin swelling was due to the sperm cord. I have a systemic infection, but I don't believe it's Herpes at this point. Also, my colon has had reoccuring inflamation for three weeks, with frequent blood in the stools. The blood is nothing new, but after two colonoscopies I've never been told what is causing it for the last six years.
In the meantime, I find out my new partner has chronic Candida and diagnosed with HPV six months previous. She sees a Chiropractor at least two times a week for bone pain and has a history of fatigue and infections of all sorts. I personally witnessed the sweat glans on her ankles develop huge rashes when swimming. A week later, her finger joints started peeling in two days and she developed huge red rashes on her knuckles. I realize all these are symptoms of chronic HIV.
She agreed to send me a copy of the test and then cut off all communication. I let her know if she didn't respond I would have her mother and friends ask for it. She sent a copy of an ELISA test three month old from the Health Department with the Patient ID number crossed out. The block for "N" was checked and the block for "E" had an "X" through it. She initially claimed the Health Department crossed it out, but then later claimed she did it. I called the Health Department and a nurse returned my call stating ELISA was either negative or positive, and the X was entered because there is no inconclusive catagery for this test. That's not what the internet states. I was tested three weeks after our last encounter and it was negative, exposure. I've emailed her to have both of us tested at my cost, and she does not answer. My doctor claims the peeling of her hands are most likely advanced GC, but she is negative for HSV1, HSV2, GC, and Chlamydia. I requested a script for an HIV PCR to be run at my cost, but my doctor didn't give it to me.
What do you think I have? What the heck is going on, and what do you suggest I do?

doubt this is HIV, but I'd get a more specific test if i were you and possibly make sure she is tested for it.
This sounds like something you should be asking dr hook or dr handsfield over on the std forum. It costs to talk to them but I recommend doing so.
You'll also have to repeat your herpes igg blood test since it's a low positive.

Don't be offended. You sound like you have experienced a possible job loss and might have contracted a serious illness. All of the stress can cause you to feel like (events/thoughts/fears) everything in your brain is melting together--that is why your story is so outrageous. You need help. If you get it--you will feel better.
You need to seek professional help right now. You are experiencing a psychotic episode. Drugs called antipsychotics can help you. Go to your nearest ER or call 911.
Her patient I.D. number was probably scratched out because HIV testing is generally confidential. Your story sounds ludicrous on its face. And your sexist remark about "the skank" is patently offensive. Not sure your partner is the one who is psychotic here. Yikes.
I cut off the sexual relationship UNTIL we decided what caused this. In the process of discovery she said she would provide the HIV test. and then quit answering calls, wouldn't return calls, etc. When I did "out the test" as you put it using possible peer pressure, The test she sent had both the Equivical and Non-reactive blocks checked, and the Paitient ID ws even scratched out as to not link her to the test. Can An ELISA be equivical? A nurse at the Health Department where she (supposedly) took the test Said "no", only negative or positive. The internet states "yes".
I have been nothing but nice considering her psychotic behavior. Her behavior as well as her symptoms indicates she does have it (whether she passed it on to me or not), and she went right back to online dating after refusing a private lab test that I would pay for. In MIssouri, knowingly having sex with HIV and not telling your parner is a criminal offense. at what point do the police or Health Department step in? I went and had a PCR viral load done today and another ELISA at a private lab, because my doctor refused to give me a script for a PCR, even though I told her I would pay for it. She told me the labs wouldn't run it - She lied. What I didn't put in the original question is that I am a Untited States Federal Whistle-Blower the Bush Administration and Defense Department has already tried to kill three times through malpractice. I hope that clarifies the situation. The "skank" set me up and infeecteded me with something on behalf of the government, and MY doctor is trying to cover her legal *** so the government isn't implicated. It been a total of ten official and unoffical visits now, and I still no know no more than when I first saw my doctor for this, and caught her lying through her teeth several times.

One of my concerns is how you've treated this past sexual partner. Making threats to her about "outing her" to her family and friends doesn't sound appropriate. You did engage in consensual sex with her, and with sexual activity there are often adverse consequences. Offering to pay for her testing is generous of you, but once you cut off the sexual or emotional relationship, she has no obligation to do any of that.
There are many reasons she could be having the systemic symptoms you describe that are unrelated to HIV or anything else sexually transmitted.
Through all of this story, you don't tell us what the window was of when all of the sexual activity occurred. If you are out long enough from it, why not just go to a free STD clinic (usually your local health department) and get an HIV test and be done with it? I personally don't think you have HIV, though.
