Updates on my Situation

Here is just a follow up from my original post. I am still very fatigued, seems as if my face (specifically where my cheeks meet my nose) are swelling, and I have a spot on the base of the head of my penis that is almost like a ringworm spot.  The brown spots on my hands and arms have stayed, however do no hurt, itch or anything.  The only symptom that seems to have gone away is the oily skin.  I know I am not supposed to post again, however just looking for a little insight.

Well...as many of you...I am writing to help try to cure my fears.  I am a 35 yr old married male.  I recently recieved unprotected oral sex, and protected vaginal sex with someone I did not know.  Within a few weeks, I was tested for Chlamydia and Gonnereahea, both negative, however was treated for a bout of cellulitis in the ears...extreme swelling and redness, as well as a fungal infection on the inner leg, treated with cream.  After 10 days of that antiviral/antifungal meds, the spot on my leg cleared, and the ears are no longer swelling.  I also had what appeared to be small soft pimples on my arms, legs, penis, face, and neck.  Very few of them, most have not lasted.  Some turned into red spots and then healed over leaving behind a smooth brown spot or nothing at all.  Approx 6 weeks after my possible exposure I was tested for HIV and came back negative.  For the last few weeks, eating, sleeping, and daily activities have been very difficult with a constant focus on "it cant be me".  I have developed symptoms of a couple small orange/brown spots on my fingers, white areas (small amount of swelling) inside my lips, very dry mouth specificaly at night when trying to sleep or in the morning when I wake up, very oily skin, pain and aching in the penis and occasional testicles(almost feel swollen), burning sensations that come and go on all parts of my body(specifically chest arms and legs), chills at times.  At times it seems like my urine production has decreased even though I am drinking a lot on purpose. Seems as if that is getting better. My son is also showing a rash on his face and back, most likely something that normal kids get....just super parnoid!

I have been dealing with that stress, as well as the stress of admitting to my wife I have cheated.  It has not been an easy few weeks.  Can all of these symtoms be related to stress?  Should I have a real fear of HIV, Herpes,Syphilis, Yeast Infection etc? I just need to get through the next few months to continue to get tested without brekaing down.  thank you

Please refer to the original post. Your new "symptoms" do not change the answer in any way.   You have had negative testing.  At this point you need to deal with the stress and anxiety and stop worrying about std's.  You may find that you are thinking so much about it that your body is reacting as so.  I recommend you try talking to a therapist about your situation and/or visit the anxiety forum here on MedHelp.
