Hello,
I will try to keep this to the point as possible.
29 year old male, uncircumcised.
On Aug 12 – Received oral without a condom from an escort. 5 minutes, e/j outside mouth.
Aug 18 – Noticed discharge – greenish/yellowish at head of penis (not much), plus burning inside 1cm of urethra, itching at tip of penis.
Aug 19 - Local STD clinic did urethral swab (hurt like hell) and took urine sample. Told me its NGU – gave me generic Zithromax 1G one dose. Urine tests not back for 3 weeks. Told its not Gonorrhea.
Aug 22 – Feeling of really burning in urethra, NOT when I urinate but after – feels like something is still there and wants to drip out 1cm inside, itchy tip too on and off. Feels like I always have to pee, like something is still in my bladder but nothing, or little comes out. Used a urethral swap q-tip with warm H2O to itch urethra inside….felt sooo much better for rest of day.
Aug 23 – Went to general clinic told them of my symptoms, Doc stated that it does not sound like herpes (I think otherwise). Gave me another 1G Zithromax, 400mg Suprax.
Aug 25 – . Had a feeling of very hot scrotum, not burning but very hot, near anus too for 3-4 hours. 2 hours after masturbation.
Wondering what the hell I caught and I know its something. I think its, HSV-1 I know it can be urethral in nature and asymptomatic otherwise. The urethral burning is sometimes very rare, some days only for 30 minutes after 2 weeks post exposure. Used Polysporin in my urethra with q-tip a couple of times for the night and before the tip of penis felt hot or burning sensation.
After first dose of Zithromax, 2 days later I had extreme insomnia, severe anxiety attacks at night, loss of appetite, chills, cold sweats at night, feverish, burning lips, feeling, sore throat (4 days) and light cough, chest pain (both 7 days or so). I sleep with my A/C on max and MAYBE this is due to my STD or the chills, cold sweat and A/C combined? Hot flashes were on and off for 30 mins or so. Second pill dose didn’t have as bad effects. Aug – 27th Still a tad burning on and off near tip of penis, no visible signs of rash or bumps yet. I am wondering how long it takes for the symptoms of an infection (if it is bacterial) to wear off? I ve heard 2 weeks from the presentation of symptoms is that correct? HELP!!
