symptoms still lingering after 3 month test
Hi i have had the worst 3 months of my life.I contracted hpv (warts) and experienced what i think is ars-having had sexual relations (2-10wks) with a prostitute in th ukraine.I felt the condom slip a few times and was only reassured when my penile head felt restricted by the tip of the condom after about an inch of freeplay.On arrival back from the ukraine my dr said i had a yiest infection in my mouth and i experience floaters on my eyes.
Because of my doubts my dr has requested me to test after another 3 months.Could i have been infected upon removing the condom?.I have heard that condoms are not as reliable against hpv as they are against hiv and other stds.Forum Doctors please shed some light-im on the brink of loosing it-it was a stupid thing to do and im due to be engaged and my fancee is already suspecting that something is amiss as im no longer interested in sex.

Thanks Drs Johnny & Teak..you have no idea how much more sleep i will get tonite.You have given me new hope:)
Sure, genital warts can appear anywhere in the area especially the groin area where it is warm and moist. However; all other questions regarding STD's other than HIV should be taken to the STD forum. Teak has already assessed your HIV risk. Good luck.
would such contact lead to warts developing on my foreskin? and not in the contact area?
Genital warts thrive in the anogenital region. Condoms do not cover this area, therefore contact with genital warts in this area (common during sexual intercourse) may lead to infection. (anogenital region = the base of the penis to the anal region).
Dr Teak ,does protected sex refer to protection against hiv only?? because this same condom that was to protect me from hiv was supposed to protect me from other stds as well(warts).
What makes me more of a fool is that i relied on the csw's "protection" and also at the beginning my penis was flacid hence the free movement-for all i know it might have been used because i discovered some whitish stuff on my shaft but i did not come during the encounter-the csw made no attempt to make sure i was fully erect at the beginning and rushed to get it over and done with-therefore she protected herslf and not me.

You had protected sex and if you can remember having sex and able to get an erection to put on a condom you would remember had the condom failed you wasn't that drunk.
Dr Teak ,i was drunk when i performed this stupid act,which entirely placed me at the mercy of the sex worker.Ive only had sex twice in my life and am completely devastated by my body's reaction to this stupid fiasco.I doubt my mind can conjour warts and an oral yiest infection,especially after a barage of other ars type symptoms at 2 weeks post exposure( nausea,fever,tingling of feet hands,joint pain,dry mounth,fatigue) .
Dr Teak ,i read somewhere that oral yiest infections are as a result of immunosupression and commonly hiv infection-could the condom had tore without me knowing it?, since i did get a std (warts)-I have also suffered from TB before (6yrs back) would that not place me in the weak immune system category that would need to test beyond 3 months?
