Counted as STD rash?

Hi all,

What are the exact STDs that have the symptoms of ITCHY rashes? I do not know whether I have any form of STD, but my biceps area and arms do feel itchy at some point and make me want to scratch it.

It's not itchy the whole-day, but I'm just wondering why certain part of the day I will feel the itchiness and want to scratch it.

Is it any form of STD? I'm dead worried. Pls reply.

Gonorrhea is easiest passed through vaginal and anal sex. It is tough to pass STD's via oral sex.
If you do not have symptoms of gonorrhea then chances are you don't have it, about 90-95% of men show symptoms of gonorrhea in the penis.

Oh, I see. But normally, it's easier to get gonorrhoea in the throat or penis through oral sex?

Since you say it's a low risk and I do not burn while I urinate or any discharge, I think I'm not infected with gonorrhoea I guessed?

Below was what you told me:

Receiving oral (Man)-Gonorrhea, NGU, herpes and syphilis. Receiving (woman)-herpes and syphilis are possible

Giving to (man) gonorrhea, herpes, syphilis and HIV.


The crosses marked means I definitely am not infected by those.

HIV               ( X ) --- 8 weeks test
Gonorrhoea    (    )
Herpes          ( X ) --- no ulcers
Syphilis         ( X ) --- no sores
NGU             ( X ) ---  I don't think NGU will make the skin itch. Right?

So the odds now are, either I'm infected with gonorrhoea of the penis, or none of the above.

1) It means your not orally infected, but it does not tell you if you have gonorrhea of the penis, only a penis swab or a urine test would tell you.
2) Most common symptoms are burining while urinating and discharge from the penis
3) I would say low risk because it is low risk to even get it.

Yup, I am certain that HIV and syphilis are definitely not the issues to worry.

I'm confused over the questions below.

1) If you received oral sex and gave oral sex to a male, but then you did a throat swab and the results come back negative, it means that you're not infected with gonorrhoea right? I need not do a swab at my penis right?

2) What are the EXACT symptoms of gonorrhoea based on your knowledge?

3) The web research says that disseminated gonorrhoea is likely to infect easily in females than males by 4 times. So can I say I'm on the very low-risk range now ?

Yes 8 weeks test is conclusive for HIV
Syphilis you would have first seen a sore months ago if you had syphilis
Disseminated gonorrhea is from what I have read is rare. It basically when gonorrhea is undiagnosed and spreads, but with gonorrhea you would have seen symptoms at some point.

Go with the Dr's advice or see a new Dr if you can't trust her.

Like I mentioned, I went to see a family doc abt 1 month ago, and she says it's eczema..


But then.. even if it's any STD, the rash wont even last for 1 month right?

I read from the net and know that only the following will cause rashes:
- Primary HIV infection (my 8-week past exposure test shld be conclusive enough)
- Secondary sphyllis (I'm not sure, but then normally sphyllis rashes occur on palms and feet and are NON-itchy)
- Disseminated gonoccoal infection (I dunno what's that.. could it be this?)

STD's do not really have rashes.
I know you are very concerned about this so the best thing to do is to see a Dr. This way you can get examined and he/she can treat you.
