Worried about possible std

[digler]

Hi guys im new to the forum. Hope you can help e a bit. About three months after a unprotected sexual encounter i had a blood test dont to check hiv just to be sure it turned out negative. Now six months after the encounter i suddenly woke up with a swollen knee.....i had that treated now i have lower back pain  and my breasr plate hurts allot whne i breath. Could these be signs of an std??.....I did a blood test for the knee.....the results showed i was slighty anmeic and my leukocytes where a bit up around 18......i dont remeber precisely but a figure for autimmine was at 3000. Could you please help me im just freaked if its a std or not

Well, you can stop worrying about STDs.  I don't know enough about the other stuff to comment, but continue to follow up with your doctor.

Thank you for your reply....... i think they also tested my RF  and also for autoimmune disease. Im a worrier. When i heard having elevated leukocytes as something to be concerned with i flipped out. But hearing that my symptoms (being inflammation in my knee lower back pain and chest pain) put me at ease other then that i havent been feeling anything else nor have i seen anything else

It doesn't sound like an std - no std would give you these symptoms.

If you are concerned about an std, just ask your doctor to test you.  You do need to talk about the pain in your chest area though - make that a priority.
