Dear Doctor:
I am a 27 year old male, and approximately 5 weeks ago I received unprotected oral sex from a female escort. Within the matter of a week I began experiencing burning with urination, an itchy penis, and testicles. I proceeded to go to a medical clinic, where I received the standard treatment for chlamydia/gonorhea, with Azithromycin and Macrobid for the pain.
One week later my symptoms continued, so the clinic referred me to a urologist. My urologist ran urine tests, a KUB (ultrasound), all which came back negative. Treated me with Doxyxycline and Pyridium.
I am experiencing horrible symptoms even to this date. My penis becomes inflamed, especially when exposed to heat, and severe burning/itching after urination. Even Motrin 800 only provides mild relief. Other symptoms include swollen neck nodes, anal discomfort/burning, and fatigue.
I realize this is not the HIV forum, but nevertheless I freaked out and went for a test last week Wednesday at a local health clinic. The test, which was administered orally, came back negative, yet I am still very worried. Could this be Herpes, HIV, or some other illness? What sort of tests should I seek, and what can I do to help relieve my horrible symptoms.
Any help you can provide will me most appreciated.
Sincerely,
In pain
