I have read your conversation and am experiencing a similar sensation after unprotected sex in the Phillipines. Except I have tingling at the head of my penis, and itching in the anus. I assume this is symptoms of an STD, but it's hard to know which one bc I am in China. I had a blood and urine test, and the blood was ok, but the urine had a high RBC count, 10/ul. He gave me antibiotics and the itching and tingling has subsided substantially, but not completely.
What STD do you think this is, with those symptoms, and what antibiotic is the best to cure it? I am currently on Cipro because I think I have a urinary tract infection of some sort.
And what do you think the high RBC is related to?
Thanks for any help you can offer me.
You would need to blood test to confirm. Herpes does not show up in days...probably takes weeks to show up.
Thanks Vance.
I actually feel no symptoms (burning, discharge, etc.) whatsoever but I took the test because I'm just worried about things like this. Wouldn't herpes symptoms show up pretty quickly though (within several days)? Or would the blood test be necessary should symptoms not be present?
The final result will come out tomorrow and I'm praying that it comes back negative.
Thanks for the responses.
High count could be from a number of different things and many not STD related.
You could have gotten a STD fromthe unprotected oral but if you don't have any discharge or burning while urinating then the chance of it is real low.
As Grace said herpes would be possible but it's a blood test that needs to be done and have to wait 4 months. But that risk was low.
Oh one more thing,
I went to get a 2nd opinion today and took another urine test. The doctor did indeed confirm that I had a high WBC. I actually remembered the first doc saying this as well. The 2nd doctor attributed it to stress (I have actually been under extreme stress for the past 6 weeks). I also got about 30 mosquito bites over the past week which have been uncomfortable to say the least.
Could this have anything to do with the high count?
Thanks Grace.
I should also mention that the SW spat on the head of my penis, although she did not perform oral sex. Could this be the reason for the abnormality in my urine test?
Not sure what they meant by seeing inflammation from an urine test? maybe just there were some white cells but no bacteria seen perhaps?
Normal bacteria in the mouth aren't always so normal when in the urogenital tract. Since your urine test was abnormal. it's worthwhile following up on this further.
condoms are not 100% protection against herpes transmission. It can take up to 4 months after an encounter for a newly acquired herpes infection to show up on your igg blood test results. Now not saying this sounds like herpes by no means, just telling you as a fyi for future testing for std's from encounters. Also hiv testing needs to be done 3 months post encounter too though none of the encounters you've described are risks of hiv ( just another fyi for ya ).
