Suggestions???
Hello I’ve been reading some of the forums over the weekend and I’ve decided to post my dilemma. I posted under HIV, but was told to post elsewhere so hopefully this is the correct forum. If not please let me know.
On Nov 21 I had protected sex with a guy, but unprotected oral which sperm did get in mouth and swallowed. On Nov 25 I had sex with a guy that I’ve had sex with before back in July. On the July encounter we had unprotected oral and protected sex but towards the end he took condom off and we finished up unprotected he pulled out and ejaculated in hand. After that I had a yeast infection nothing serious but did have a test done for all STD’s which came back negative. Back to the November 25 encounter I had unprotected sex and oral with him releasing while inside. Afterwards no major symptoms just yeast infection/thin white discharge that cleared up. Had sex again with same person on December 22nd unprotected. On December 26 my left tonsil became swollen and was covered in white material. My left lymph node became swollen and I had an earache on the left side of course due to infection. I went to the Dr and tested negative for Strep and they have me some amoxicillin. Which I didn’t take because I don’t like antibiotics and they give me yeast infections. So within a week it cleared up, but then my right tonsil did the same thing swelled up white material cover it. I went to the ER and they checked for strep and mono all came back negative and they gave me a steroid shot to bring down inflammation and pain pills. Then I started to take the amoxicillin. Which of course gave me a yeast infections, but up until then I had an ongoing thin white discharge thing going on. Since then I have had recurrent sores in mouth one on the inner check, back of mouth, corner of lip inside, and one on roof of mouth. I’ve had weird stabbing pain in my arms and tingling feeling in my fingers. I thought maybe it was carpel tunnel or something. Back in January when I orgasm I get this piercing headache that starts in the back of head and shots all the way around and lingers for a good 3-4 days. And every time I try to have another orgasm same thing. Orgasms where brought on by the way through masturbation, I’ve haven’t had sex since Dec 22. I have freaked out about having HIV so I have had the following test:
12/6 STD testing gon/syphilis/chlamydia/Herpes/HIV= Neg
12/8 HIV Neg
1/26 HIV Neg
1/30 gon/chlamydia= Neg
2/09 HIV DNA, PCR/HIV AB
HIV DNA by PCR
HIV DNA RT by PCR- Negative
HIV-1 DNA not detected
2/10 Rapid Neg
So I know that means I’m negative so far. It’s not quite the 3 month waiting period but could I be okay to say it’s somewhat conclusive. At this point I don’t believe I have HIV, but will follow up in the end of March. BUT I know I have something, it’s not like me to get random swollen tonsils with white gunk, ongoing canker sores, and ongoing BV and yeast infections. My OB put me on some meds for BV, but as soon as I finished Rx I started to have a thick clear slimy discharge, which has now turned into thing white discharge. I’m not for sure what’s going on with me. Any suggestions? How long should I wait to get tested for Herpes? Is there a window period like HIV? Do other STD’s have a window period as well?

it's winter, everyone is sick this year since it's been such a mild winter. not unusual to catch a little bit of everything going around when your body is busy fighting off multiple infections.
cleansing the genital area with luke warm water periodically throughout the day can help with the irritation from the discharge too. Just wet a wash cloth and squeeze it over your genital area after using the bathroom for comfort.
sometimes it just sucks to be a girl :(

And the white discharge after meds makes sense since that is what happend as soon as I finished Rx. I had a thick white discharge with itching. I thought I was getting a yeast infection again!! I called my doctor and he thought I needed another 5 days..lol. I'll wait a couple of days to see if it clears up. Thank you again
Thanks grace for you suggestions. I'm working close with my doctors, but symptoms freaking me out since I'm not one to get weird throat problems and vaginal issues. Would you think the bacteria infection from vagina can cause a bacterial infection in mouth? Which could have brought on the swollen tonsils and sores? The only STD I thought I could have got was HIV, I'm not really having signs of Herpes or they are very mild at best. Uhhhh I'm going to stay fast from sex for a while...Lol

You are reading content posted in the STDs / STIs Community
Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
make sure you are being seen every time you have discharge. No self treating, get properly tested to see if it's yeast or bv.
odds are all your oral symptoms are non-std related.
follow up with the rest of your std tests at the appropriate times to properly cover your bases.
