please help me doc! STDs?

sorry for long post: please its important and i hope you read it.

Hi, before I had a girl friend i did not have red bumbs on the very back of my throat. i was a vergin. but then i had a girl friend, and i had sex with no condoms, and performed cunnilingus. couple of time you can say. and yes i was paranoid after that so we did STD testing. she did one time i did two times. it all came back negative for both of us. so after that we continued for some times.

then later i found out she had cold sore on her lips. she told me it never happened to her before, and it came to her without absolutely no pre symptoms such as tingling feeling etc.

i was worried even more. then after that i got sick and noticed these red bumbs on the very back of my throat. i got better. the cold went away but the red bumps persisted. i went to doc and he said, dont worry that is just the lymphoid reaction and it is very normal.

but it is been 6 months now, i still have those red bumbs at the back of my throat. i am very flexible on the mouth part so i can open my mouth really big, and when i do that front of mirror, i can see the red bumbs easily and i can even see them continue down my throat further in.

times to times i get very sharp pain (exactly as if someone is poking a needle in my throat.) these lasts for 1 second. sometimes when i swallow, or sometimes when i turn my head. but their lasting time is very low. but if i try to do the same movement that caused the pain, i would not get it. but this is very frequent nowadays.

i still got these bumbs. i checked my friends mouth, my mothers mouth, they are absolutely positively clean, they have no bumbs.

i am really scared :( i really am. please help me doc. what can be? do i have HIV? :(

for those 6 months i have not gotten sick, or felt like i have no energy or anything.

actually 1 out of every 2-3 adults has hsv1 orally whether they get obvious cold sores or not to know it. many of us pick it up as small children from our caregivers. you can not assume that because you were a virgin before her that you don't have hsv1 and didn't give it to her if she can't recall ever having had a cold sore before this.

sharp pains that last 1 second aren't anything to worry about.

you have to pay to post on the std experts forum. this is the patient to patient forum.

hi,

i dont think she got tested for HIV. i think initially we both did the normal, STD testing which does not include HIV. HIV testing is a special form. we did the normal STD testing.

i never ever in my life had sex before, she was my very very first one. and i never ever had cold sore before. or any other STD for that matter. but she had other boy friend before.

so we both know that she had it in her. but she did not know. and i never gave it to her.

she did not get tested for HIV (as i said before) but i did do a HIV test. and it came back negative. but we continued to have sex after that as well...we stopped now...when i say continue i mean...1-2 times per week. sometimes 0 times..sometimes just 1 time.

im worried because, what else can it be? :S the previous doctor told me it is a lymphoid reaction. i believed that because i was sick about 1-2 weeks prior to i went to clinic and thought it is still reacting...

but now it is actually...about 10 months...not  6 months...so its a long time..and i still have it...

if it is something i always had and never put time to look closely....then why am i getting this sharp pain...that lasts 1 sec.

they are in my throat as well...the sharp pain...i never had this before.


thank you for repyling though...do doctors reply to people's posts or is it from other web users?

your partner tested negative for hiv so why would you think you have hiv?  

odds are these are normal bumps that you just never had a good reason to take this much notice to.  follow up with an ENT specialist at this point if you are concerned.

odds are that neither you nor your partner were ever tested for herpes when you had std testing done. hard to tell if your gf had hsv1 orally prior to you or if you had it and gave it to her at this point.
