help - std? hiv? candida?

Hi in Jan 09 I got C Diff after taking antibiotics (didnt do a swab test) for my throat, my symptoms included abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and vomited once. This lasted about 3 days until I went to the hospital and told me I got C Diff and was given another antibiotic, the pains and bloody diarrhea stopped.  

Since then I havent been feeling the same...I have a bit of nausea still, lightheaded/unclear head, then noise in my right ear (ENT said the inside of my nose is all red), coated tongue, varying stools (either soft/broken or hard, flloating etc), slight abdominal cramp rarely, developed eczema on my shin, and feeling tired.  

The doctor ran a bunch of blood tests on me, stool tests for C Diff, Colitis and toxins, the blood tests from what I recall had Hepatits in there, H pyloria, thyroid, tested my liver, kidneys, and CBC, there may have been others. I had blood tests, stool tests, urine tests probably 5-6 times during this past year.  The tests came back fine, but at the same time I dont feel the same yet. The doctors told me to take anti depressants which I did for about 2-3 weeks and then stopped.  

So, after doing research on the internet and healing books, I came to Celiac, Candida, H pyloria (this isnt it since I already was tested), and of course hiv/aids.   I've only had sex once which was in the summer of 08, and I used a condom, no oral/anal/french kissing took place.  After reading on Candida, I read about the spit test, which I did and there was debris floating and sitting on the bottom of the cup, and decided to see a hollistic allergist and a live blood analyst.  The live blood analyst told me I had yeast present in my sample and indication of bowel inflammation. The allergist told me I have Candida which people can get after antibiotics and colon problems.  I decided to do some more research on the subject and everywhere I turn I see hiv/aids. Im pretty sure I have Candida due to the coated tongue, eczema (I havent had ezcema before), spit test, yeast in blood sample etc, but the hiv/aids?????

No, it was just thrush.  It never got bad enough to hit my intestinal tract (Thank goodness).  Try taking an immune booster like echinacea too.  I'm sorry I can't help you further.  Good luck.

I just found out about the candida about 2 weeks ago and started a candida diet with supplements about 1 week ago. Although I havent been feeling well for the past months, I just recently found out it was candida, it took some time to figure out. Im trying to take a natural route, and thanks for the link, im going to go through it right now. Im not having an unusual discharges of fungus in my genital area as the destruction happened in my intestinal tract. If I can ask, was your candida an intestinal/colon thing and if so are you doing ok and what did you? Ive heard of IV treatments and what not?

Just to be sure but nowhere in there did you mention being treated for candida?  More antibiotics would only make it worse.  Candida is yeast.  Everyone, men and women, can get yeast infections or thrush.  It is unlikely you got HIV with protected sex.  Its a very low possibility, but you need significant fluid transfer.  If you have not been treated, you may benefit from taking something like flucanazole (diflucan) for several days.  

I once had thrush so badly that i had blisters on my tongue.  I took one diflucan once a day for about 3 days and they gave me a solution called Duke's magic mouthwash to rinse with.

You should try to consider cutting out as much sugar and anything that causes yeast to grow from your diet.  And always get something for candida if you ever have to take antibiotics again.
