Please help I am LOST

Hi,

Here is my story. I would be very grateful for any input.

Day 0:  Unprotected received fellatio and protect vaginal sex with an escort. Mutual masturbation and vaginal secretion probably in contact with my penis from hands
Day 1: frequent urination and burning tip of the penis for 2 days. I do not urinate frequently anymore
Day 4: intermittent discomfort in the left testicular lasting for 8 weeks as well as discomfort in the upper legs area.
Day 10: a rash, probably a Maculopapular very itchy rash lasting for 6 days. (I had gone to the beach the same day and I started to feel itchy while in the water. I had taken also the day before 1,5 mg of Zithromax)
11 week: White furry tongue (neither fungi or bacterial infection) with a fever of 37,2 Celsius lasting for a week. White tongue persisting until now (3 months) as well as a loss of appetite and weight loss in the legs area. (I had gone to the dentist on the 8th week for a root canal treatment and was on antibiotics Dalacin C 300 for 8 days)
22 weeks: hair loss, mainly from my eyebrows and hair on my torso and stomach. Lasting till now (week 26)
As at today, I still have a white tongue, a loss of appetite and hair loss issues.
I have made STDs check and 7 HIV 1&2 tests all negative. My blood picture is normal. I have just noticed that my WBC and lymphocytes fluctuate within the normal range. I have also done a CD4 CD8 count and they were within the normal range.

What kind of infection could I have caught?
I have come across this new HIV like disease:

Should I be worried about this disease? Should I do an interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and a  quantative immunoglobin tests?
Thank you.

No, the Fladazol and Secnidazole are good for getting rid of amoeba and it looks like it is doing its job. I wouldn't take any more antibiotics. You can repeat your stool test in another 10 days and see if it is still gone. But now you have yeast that took over because of the antibiotics that wiped out your normal bowel flora. This may also be one of the reason for you not having an appetite and maybe the constipation. I would talk with your doctor. But, you need to take some probiotics. Get some live probiotic pills that contain active culture like 10 to the 8th 10E8 bacteria of lactobacillus sp, Bifidobacteria sp. the more variety of good bacteria the better and see if that helps. Take it for a month or two. Keep drinking a lot of water. About 8 glass a day or a combination of herbal tea and water , whatever you drink but stay hydrated. The fact that the Candida sp. is resistant at this point I'm not sure that it matters you are not going to treat the candida except by diluting it out by eating other bacteria basically. You can add eating a couple of yogurts a day that contain live bacteria. What country do you live it? Do they have yogurt like Yoplait or one that has active bacteria? you will eventually also get it from your food too. But, no more antibiotics unless the doctor tells you to. Get your stool retested for yeast in about a month? It takes a while. you can try sooner like 10 days but it probably will take longer.

No, I think it is from the parasite or the antibiotics you took and/or the disruption of the normal flora see below.

I also just had the results of Candida culture in stools.

And I got this result which I do not understand.

"Growth of Candida spp. [non albicans] which is resistant to all antibiotics"

What does this mean

This is the drug that the doctor prescibed for 3 days, i took it for four days, it is called fladazol: it has Secnidazole.

I finished my prescription like 10 days ago. So todays stool analysis result was like 10 days after taking this medication. the doctor had told me to retest 7 days after taking the medication.

Now I am thinking of taking a combination of metronidazole and diloxanide floride for 5 to 10 days. the doctor didn't tell me to take any other drugs. but I think this drug could be good to eliminate any in the lumen of the intestine. what do you think?

I took Defucin 250 mg tablets by my own

Yes, that is good that the parasite is clearing up. But some stay in the lumen of the intestine and so I would wait a few days and get retested. Then if still negative maybe a week or so. Didn't the doctor give you directions on how often to test after the antibiotic they gave you?. Which antibiotic did they give you to take? I think the recommendation is two antibiotics I mentioned. I wouldn't take it on your own there can always be complications. I would ask them about it and that you are worried about recurrances. The temperature of 98.6 is not a fever it is normal for Farenheit. You may still not feel well because the parasite can cause some temporary damage to the intestine I think. There are more than one parasite they produce more. But hopefully, the drug did the job. If you didn't have a fever (since 98.6 or 98.7 are normal) then you probably don't have a liver abscess. I would discuss with your doctor about your loss of appetite and corresponding weight loss. I am sure they are related to the parasitic infection but they may be able to give you something for it. Didn't you already take Metronidazole or what med did you take. I can't find it with all these messages. Did the doctor give you that one or did you buy it over the internet or pharmacy on your own? Regarding the MRSA yes they take it with a swab. Did you have a boil or sore under the arm? I don't know the drug Dufucin. Also, these drugs can cause loss of appetite sometimes so we'll see if you improve.
