NGU/Gonorrhea Scare

[jacksonweav]

A few days after unprotected sex with a new girlfriend, I began experience burning in the urethra. I dismissed it as irritation, until I noticed a white discharge a few days later. I told her, and she had no symptoms of her own, and was equally surprised. Mortified, I went to the health clinic to get STD tested the next day. The doctors gave me Azithromycin, and Cefixime, assuming I had either gonorrhea or chlamydia. The results took 2 weeks to get, and my symptoms never fully cleared up. I finally got the results, and all came up negative (for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis, HIV). By this time the symptoms had moved more to my bladder, and felt pressure, and increasing frequency in urination. So I made a doctors appointment, and my doc quickly decided I had non gonococcal urethritis. So he put me on doxycycline, 1 100 mg pill for 10 days. I have three pills left in my treatment, and am worried because I'm still not feeling recovered yet. Many sites seemed to recommend a larger dosage of Doxy than he prescribed me, and I'm worried it wont go away. And if it doesnt go away, should I be worried even moreso, that the strain may become resistant to treatment? I also worry about transmission through kissing, or other non-intercourse contact.

Thank you very much. I have only two days and pills left of antibiotics left of treatment, if its still bothering me after that, I will speak to the doc. And shell out the cash I saved on not having health insurance haha :/

STD's are not transmitted through kissing or anything like that.

Your symptoms did sound like chlamydia or NGU. The medication should be working. If symptoms keep going then follow up with your Dr. I would not worry about it becoming resistant.
