Hello Doctor, I will follow your advice. I am actually scared about the uncontrolled mild fever I have been having since this irritation has started. The fever dominates during the day time and then comes down during the evening/night time. I am still worrid that it hasn't yet been diagonised. My question is: Is this fever a result of infection I may have due to some cause in my urethra? Is it normal?
Thanks a lot again.
Different STDs require different times before tests become positive. In your case, there is no point in testing at all. Follow your providers' advice. I won't have any further comments.
Thanks a lot for the inputs Doctor. But will this time frame (accident on Sep11th and tested on October 2nd) be sufficient for the detection of all the STD including HIV?
Your symptoms do not suggest any STD, including HIV, and you had a sexual exposure that carried little risk for STD and essentially no risk for HIV. Further, you have seen 2 providers who have tested you and assured you that you have no STD.
1) If your providers recommend HIV testing, fine with me. I see no need for it based on your exposure history or your symptoms. But if you'll sleep better knowing you have a negative HIV test result, it's fine with me if you get tested.
2) No STD is likely to cause the symptoms you describe. Most likely they did not come from the sexual exposure you describe, and anyway you have been tested and no STD was found.
3) Unless an STD is diagnosed, there is no risk to your wife.
4) I'm not the one to take guesses at the causes of your fever, vomiting, etc, nor can I comment on the possibility of a kidney stone. You need to discuss it with your doctors.
I don't know if you saw the advice about herpes testing from another forum user, before I deleted his comment. If you did, disregard it. There is no chance herpes has anything to do with your symptoms.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
