Questios on NGU
Hi doc I had a question regarding NGU. about 10 days ago I received unprotected oral sex for about 5 minutes from a female. I ama male. I went to the doctor today because I was expieranceing dribbling from my penis and he said that I had NGU, and he gave me 4 pills of azithromax I believe and a 7 day course of ciproflaxcin which he said to take 2 a day for 7 days and I should be fine. he also tested me for gonnereah and chlamydia which ill have the results on tuesday. Now I am worried about Hiv based on ytour professional knowledge what do you think on this matter?
1. Should I be worried about Hiv because of this?
2. If I did get NGU from this incident would that make it easier to get Hiv or arfe the risks still the same?
Im really worried here doc and Im driving myself crazy. Can you please answer my questyions. Im mostly worried about Hiv, can you help me out here and give me your professional advice? Thank you so much Doc.

As I said in response to your earlier question on the HIV forum, NGU can be acquired by oral sex and it seems to have happened to you. You can be pretty certain your gonorrhea and chlamydia tests will be negative. Gonorrhea usually would cause prominent pus-like discharge within 3-4 days of catching it; as I recall, your symptoms were more subtle. Chlamydia is rare in people's throats and therefore rarely if ever acquired by oral sex. NGU from oral sex probably is often due to bacteria that are entirely normal in someone's mouth, but cause inflammation in the urethra. As I said in the other forum, HIV has never been proved to acquired by receiving oral sex, with or without NGU.
Just follow your doctor's advice about NGU treatment. You really don't need to be worried about HIV from this event. But you had better be tested for it; undoubtedly my reassurance won't make any difference and you're going to need the negative test to be convinced you don't have it.
That's all I have to say. Let's not continue an ongoing discussion.

4-6 weeks. Search the HIV forum for "time to positive HIV test" for innumerable discussions.
