Received my second negative test result for gono and chlymdia today -exposure was possible vaginal fluid and saliva transfer by hand to my penis, and light lick and kiss to the tip of my penis.
Nurse assured me that any other STI from this event is highly unlikely. I'm awaiting results on a urinalysis for a possible bacterial infection that may be causing the testicular pain. Also, have scrotal ultra sound tomorrow. I now, when my mind doesn't wonder, believe that my testicular pain (3 weeks past exposure) is in no way related to this incident. I either have a conincidental bacterial infection OR I'm magnifying everyday feelings in my testicles.
Nurse also said that I'm more than okay to resume unprotected sex with my wife. I think I'll remain protected until the results of the urinalysis are in. I only hope that the cipro I was finishing, (2 pills remained) doesn't skew the test results. Although, seeing as how I'm done the meds, and still have pain, clearly they couldn't have cleared anything up.
UPDATE: Saw my PCP and explained my situation. He agreed its unlikely to be an sti, but he's recommending a screening for gono, chlamyd and hiv anyway. He mentioned that many gono cases are asymptomatic anyway. He visually inspected me, no lesions/warts/etc, no discharge. However, he also performed a prostate exam and is screening for PSA's, WBC's and RBC's as well. I had mentioned to him my lack of traditional sti symptoms, with the exception of discomfort at the meatus (a possible symptom of prostatitis), so perhaps he's suspecting a prostate issue? I was not able to inform him, but I masturbated for the 2nd time in several weeks and when I ejaculated, it burned. I don't believe that's an sti symptom, but is a prostatitis symptom.
Again, I'll update the board when I know more and hope this is helping others out there with questionable symptoms. With my luck I'll avoid an sti situation, but step right into cancer. Ugh.
To all
This is good stuff that you guys are sharing your experiences. Please continue to document your test results, treatments and updates on your condition. It's extremly helpful for other who unfortunately will follow in our footsteps and will be looking for answers in the future.
I will say this, I'm not a big believer in anxiety induced penis pains. Although it can be the case some of the time, I think we know when something is wrong. All too often doctors can't find an answer because nothing shows up on their tests and so they tell us that it's in our head. That answer is not good enough for me because I know that before my encounter I had no symptoms, and after I have symptoms....that are real. In no way am I saying that you guys have problems. I believe I responded to most or all of your posts and I believe it didn't sound like any of you had issues related to STD's, however you could have some irritation going on. Continue to work with your doctors to get to the bottom of it if it continues to be a problem. Good luck guys!
I have the same symptoms. I have been tested and test came back negative. However, I feel much better but the irritation on the tip of my penis is still there. Not as bad as before. I have also stopped examing my penis every hour to see if I would find any new developments. I am usiing Hydocortisone 2.5% cream and it helps a bit during the day but at night it gets a little more irritated.
i am on the exact same boat, due to the guilt and the fact that i was drunk enough to sleep with a condom on the whole night i have developed a wierd iriation on the tip of my penis. no sighns of discharge or painfull urination but i cant help but notice somethings there. i agree that it could be a lube thing or mental but definetly not a std
I should also say after reading the dermatology boards, many tip of the penis/head of the penis irritations come from soap/lotion/powder/condom/lube reactions. It's been hot here in Chicago and I've been using a lot of Gold Bond powder recently but now have stopped. You should also do a mental check of any hygiene routines you may have changed or exposed yourself to.
