Please help!

I had encounters with two men since april until July. I am worried sick that I may have encountered some disease. My last encounter was in mid July.  I shortly had devloped cracks around my lips and with the use of lip balms they would subside in few days. I had severe vaginal infection for which I consulted a doctor and completed treatment. End of August I had fever and uncontrollable diarrhea. I tested for HIV in second week of september which came out negative. But I have also suddenly developed swelling under my right arm. I am not sure if it is a lymphatic node swelling.

I am crazy worried and hope to get some respite frm this forum.

"She said I had really thick white discharge and excoloration of the libia." Why didn't you ask your Dr?

Just went to the doc. She said I had really thick white discharge and excoloration of the libia. What does dat mean? Just had a pap smear test done too. Will get the results in 4 days. Please pray for me! On tenterhooks :(

Thick clear discharge is a good sign that the medication/antibitoics are working.  It should clear in about average 2 weeks.

Thank You!

The vaginal infection I am being treated for - The itch seems to have subsided (close to negligible) But even today I have discharge. Its thick clear discharge. What is the reason and what could this be?

You have conclusively tested negative for the first guy, so you didn't catch HIV from the first guy.

A negative test for 8 or 9 weeks post encounter is a pretty strong indication that you are
HIV negative.  A conclusive result is obtained at the 3 month mark or more -post encounter.

I think you're going to be alright.

Hmmm. Now, my encounter witht he first man ended in May which is when I met another guy. I last had sex in July with the second one. Tested on 10th September. Which came out negative. So does that mean that I am safe from the first guy?

I cant tell you how much it means to have someone to talk to about this. Thanks a lot!

Thank you Vance!

One last query. HIV test at end of a month is negative. What are the chances?

"Are you implying that diarrahea is not due to any STD?" Yes.

"Also, if Chalmydia is negative, does that mean that I cant have Gonorrhea". No, each STD is different.

"Would that have caused the culture to be sterile?" I don't know, you would have to talk with your Dr.

I havent Thanked you yet vance. I have been so worried lately that I have lost all concentration. :( I am not sure I understand what you mean when you say that Stool/anal area would have nothing to do with an STD? I didnt have anal sex. Are you implying that diarrahea is not due to any STD?

After a month I again had semi solid stools yesterday. I am worried why I have this recurrence. Also, if Chalmydia is negative, does that mean that I cant have Gonorrhea?My urine analysis had shown pus cells but when I again gave my urine for culture, it came sterile. I had been using some tablet to be inserted in the Vagina, Cream to be applied exterior of the Vagina and take an Oral tablet for the vaginal infection. Would that have caused the culture to be sterile?

HIV test post 1 month was negative, I am worried about the 3 mth test. Have another 15 days to go.

Thanks again for all your help.

Herpes questions please post in forum. Unless you had anal sex then the stool/anal area would have nothing to do with a STD.
