probably STD - help?
Long story short but here goes, I'm male, she was a female, don't know her
3 weeks ago had unprotected oral and intercourse, stupid I know
Few days later something didn't feel right so after 1 week I got tested. Had high bacterial levels detected that day so got given azithromycin to take before my results came back. Results however all came back negative
Since then I have had tender/tingling balls and since day 1 my tongue has been completely coated white which wasnt the case before
2 days ago got a small ulcer on bottom gum
Today got a small white blister on bottom lip (this is now 3 weeks since the incident)
Back in to the clinic tomorrow to see what to do next but anyone able to shed any light or offer advice now?
Cheers

I don't think you have anything "bad" at all. just common infections that can take awhile and the right antibiotics to clear up . make sure they test that prostate too if symptoms don't clear up or you continue to have puss cells.
Ok
thanks for all your help Grace
I was checked again yesterday which was 3 weeks after the encounter, I had a urine sample done and a swab down the penis. This is how they got the 5-10 bacteria and I expect the results will be back next week. If I did have something nasty then surely 8 azithromycin and 5 days of metro will go a long way to sorting it?!
I then have my 4 week blood test next Friday, suppose this tests for HIV and whatever else
thanks again for all your help
I hope I don't have anything bad, or anything at all! sounds like I do though

It can really be difficult to get rid of thrush - regardless of the location of the infection :(
gum clinics don't test for herpes unless you have obvious lesions to swab. follow up on the rest of your testing at the proper times as I listed previously to properly cover your bases. testing too early just wastes time and money.

ok I will arrange to go again for the oral thing, it probably isn't an STD is it? I hoped the nystatin would help but hasn't made it any worse
the gum clinic tested me for everything 1 week after exposure
everything came back negative although on the day of the tests they detected bacteria levels of between 5 and 10 in my urine/swab whichever they check
they did a blood test then and everything was negative, however I guess some things like HIV don't show up that early in blood tests so they have asked me to come back next week which will be 4 weeks after exposure to test again
sounds logical?

nah I am just on the forums too early in the morning and can't read...lol go back again for more medication for the thrush so you can get that gone! also not sure if you can get culturelle there but a gi probiotic wouldn't be a bad idea unless you can choke down yogurt 3x/day every day for 2 weeks.
the gum clinic is testing your blood for what in 4 weeks?
I'd have protected sex at this point. let your partner know that you have some sort of infection, not sure what and want to protect them until it's cleared.

I did take the nystatin! sorry I probably didn't word it well
what I meant was I took it all and it didn't do anything to my oral symptoms, if anything they have got worse!
im now having corsodyl mouthwash to try and get a reaction, and im also taking the flagyl and the azithromycin at exactly the times they say, and with no alcohol etc
im going back Friday of next week to have my blood taken again which will be 4 weeks post the encounter, they asked me to do this
I will finish the flagyl and the azithromicyn early next week so hopefully I can ask them to swab me and test my urine for bacteria content on Friday and they can tell me whether its still 5-10 or now below 5
im seeing my partner next weekend, we always practice unprotected sex and im desperate for some sort of clearance
before anyone says, I am aware of how stupid and selfish my mistake was and I have learnt my lesson, it will never happen again
I just want rid of the possible std, rid of the oral symptoms and back to being healthy both physically and mentally, and am willing to do anything and listen to any advice
