Hep C and questions

[sam6386]

I had first gotten sick on May 19th and went to my physician a few days later, I had swollen glands on both sides on my neck (very big) and also tonsilitious, I was also very achy, from knees down and very stiff/bothersome neck... I was scared for everything so I told the Dr to see if I had other swollen glands she had said no, a few days later I went back and she took a blood test, she had called me and told me I was positive for Lymes disease (my abdominal, wholeeeee area hurts/bothers me, I have heard Lyme likes cartalige and all but im scared I could have gotten Hep C now. (when she tested my blood she had said eveything else was normal, including liver. but that was through a blood test.) Could my Lymes be a false positive? I keep going crazy here. (Also tested for HIV and Herpes both also came back negative. .. I also went to my GYNO in the beginning of ( I believe it was the 4th of June)  to get a pap smear she told me recently she had checked for STDs (making it seem like she checked for all and that I was negative on them) A few days after that I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend once, and after that we have been having protected vaginal sex, and I will continue to do so. (Last time we had unprotected vaginal sex was June 11th) I have had UNPROTECTED ORAL sex most of the time giver (no ejaculation in mouth and once reciever)... A few days ago I ended up getting long stringy discharge from my vagina after a long walk and after I went to pee during the shower I was taking, this ended up coming out...I was really scared and worried but I could not call the GYNO because it was late at night and they were closed. The next morning I had a tiny bit on my underwear then it had stopped. I wiped down there kind of hard the next few days (to make sure I had gotten it all out) and it seemed to cause irritaion... not a lot just a little and after this Ive experianced clear discharge (like water, making my underwear wet and uncomfortable.) this has happened before to be but seems to be a little more then usual or making because I am noticing it more. I am also on Doxycycline for Lymes Disease which they/I believe I have. And have been on this for a little over 3 weeks...I have also had abnormal stools soft/then hard and had bleeding twice in the rectal area one right after another about 3 days ago...a few days after this stringy discharge occured. My rectum seems to be aggrivated too because I believe Ive been wiping hard also... I am so overwhelmed. Do you think this could be an STD or anything?

This is the last time I am going to say anything regarding this.  I have had oral sex many many times-both giving and receiving.  I have also gotten a few different std's at different times in my life.  I have had yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, trichomonas, chlamydia and i have hsv2.  And not one of those times was it from oral sex.  Your concern is about your boyfriend giving you an std through oral sex.  YOUR CHANCES ARE VERY LOW.  GO GET TESTED FOR HEP C.  HECK...GET TESTED FOR EVERYTHING OUT THERE ONE MORE TIME SO YOU CAN BE SURE.  And whatever the results...just trust that they are true and correct.  Tell them you want to be tested for all including hep c, and herpes since they are not necessarily automatic.  Then let it be.  One last time...CHANCES ARE EXTREMELY SLIM FOR YOU TO GET AN STD FROM ORAL SEX.  GOOD LUCK.

I never got tested for Hep C so I am freaking out that is all. I am really sorry its just so hard to talk to anyone about these situations... and I am constantly freaking out over and over again :( I just really wanted opinions on Hep C since I don't know much about it and if anyone could help me out with that I would greately appreciate this... symptoms? reactions? treatment? thank you all and I am sorry. Just very stressed out.

You tested pos for Lyme.  Check out that forum.  You've been told over and over that you don't have an std or Hep C, or anything at all resulting from sex.

This person is a persistent anxiety poster (to be generous) whose posts are typified by unnecessary and unsavoury personal detail.

I think you should take the advice of Dr Hook, and address these questions with you doctor.

Your long, drawn out, detailed post was not necessary. Never the less, here is a reply to your questions

Could my Lymes be a false positive?
