Background: Got stupid drunk with some friends, met up with a CSW at a bar, and wound up getting unprotected oral (stupid). Feel really bad about it the next day.
2 days later start feeling a pinch in my penis tip and I have to urinate frequently.
No common symptoms from this enoucnter: no discharge, no spots, no pain in urinating, no itchiness on the skin. The only symptom I have is a persistent tingly pinch at the tip that won't go away - but it's not bad enough to cause me to lose sleep. It feels like there is a slight blockage as my urine does not start with much gusto, it builds up to normal pressure, then it kind of sputters out at the end. There is no sensitivity to touch, just a mildly annoying feeling at the tip.
Anyways, so now its 7-8 days later and I go in to see the doc, prepared with some knowledge I've learned here.
I purchased a full urinalysis screening that includes: Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Monilia, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma/Ureaplasma, Urine microscopy and culture
Since it was a short encounter, I know that the likelihood of anything is small. And the likelihood of syphillis or herpes II from oral is also very small. Plus those tests were fairly more expensive, and I just don't have that money at this time.
I am scared of spreading anything to my partner (again, made a stupid drunk mistake and don't want to harm her)
Anyways; the doc gave me a shot of 500mg Ceftriaxone and 6 x 250mg Zithromax.
My Questions:
1. What is the proper way to take the Zithromax? The nurse mumbled through the instructions, and then I read online here: http://bacteria.emedtv.com/azithromycin/azithromycin-dosage.html that for STDs you are supposed to take it all in one dose. Should I spread it out like I think the nurse was telling me or take 1g now; 500mg tomorrow; or take 1.5g all at once?
2. I get my results back in 3-5 days. How long does is take for these types of antibiotics to render the bacteria inert? My girl is coming to see me next Wednesday. 9 Days should be enough time right?
3. If the "pinch" doesn't go away; any ideas on what else it might be? Some other UTI? A fungus? A prostate infection?
Lastly, I want to say thanks to Grace and Vance in advance (no pun) for all their work in easing the minds of all of us knuckleheads. I know you get asked the same questions over and over and sometimes are never thanked for your input. It is appreciated.
