Help std rant!!!

So a video pops up on my feed about std. I have always used protection with the exception of my long term boy friend. Well come to find out he never uses protection. Gross we are not together anymore but now I’m so scared he gave me something. I ran into him and he shares that he’s having sex with polyamorous plp without protection. He said about two girls and one set of lesbians that’s 4 people. Who is to say he was not doing that during our breaks ,cheating,or before we got together. I also find out he’s into hard drugs like cocaine, wax , idk if he used needless. Now if I have something I hope and pray is curable. I couldn’t live with myself knowing I have aids or HIV when I have been with 7 people two just one time protected. I have no criminal record a honor student I don’t do drugs snoke . I just got to law school for my whole life to be destroyed by some idiot guy I dated a year ago who lives in a granite shop where an are a was not being used and they made a room out of it.

Razor bumps or ingrown hair

Orally Transmitted

I’m feeling a little stressed out I received only oral sex from a guy on 4/6. I had an OB appointment to discuss birth control and just got tested for everything while there and I was negative/non-reactive. Well a few days ago I’ve begun to feel off down there now I’m scared he could’ve given me something. I went to urgent care yesterday and I don’t have a UTI so they sent my urine off and I won’t know anything until Monday or Tuesday. The doctor tried to ease my mind tell me about a similar experience where she felt funny down there after a sexual encounter but ended up being ok. Had any of you ladies ever felt like u had an STD based off how you felt down there but it turned out not to be an STD? Also is giving oral sex the only way you could contract an STD in the throat to pass it to someone’s genital? He says I’m the only person he’s been giving oral to so I’m hoping I’m ok but at the same time men tell tales. Thanks I’m advance for any responses.

Orally Transmitted

I’m feeling pretty stressed and shamed at the same time. I’m in a relationship but there is a guy from time to time that will pay me just to give me head and I had been doin that before my relationship I know I’m in the wrong but I continued anyway for the money. I received oral from him on 4/6. I had a OBGYN appointment on 4/8 to discuss new birth control options so I went ahead and got tested. I was negative but a few days ago I started to feel off down there. I asked the guy if he had been with anyone he said I’m the only person he gives oral to and he wears condoms when he is active but doesn’t wear a condom when he receives oral. I went to urgent care today and when they checked for a UTI I didn’t have one I won’t know my STD results until Monday or Tuesday. The doctor tried to ease my mind telling me she had a similar experience feeling off down there after a sexual encounter but everything was fine. I’m hoping that’s the case because I’m so scared to have to confess my wrong doing and wondering if he’ll forgive me or leave me . Have any of you had experiences where u felt weird down there after a sexual encounter but had negative STD results?

HSV & Antiviral Medicine Questions

Hi, so I recently got diagnosed with HSV-2 back in February, as there were 3-4 blisters on my vagina lip. The urgent care doctor prescribed me ACYCLOVIR to take 3 times a day for 10 days for that. I finished that, and the blisters cleared up and then I told my Primary doctor to prescribe me more to take on the daily to keep it dormant. So now I’m taking ACYCLOVIR 400MG one in the morning and one before bedtime. I’ve been doing this for the past 3 weeks now. I have had flu-like symptoms, nausea, and actually vomited once but I didn’t think nothing of it. But apparently those are the side effects while taking this medicine, which, ever since I’ve been taking this medicine every day it’s been making me feel horrible just about every day. I just noticed tiny bumps on my mouth lips this morning. I tried out some new Bath and Body Works (champagne toast) lip gloss yesterday, idk if I’m having an allergic reaction or not but my lips don’t hurt and they don’t really feel tingly. I just looked in the mirror and noticed the small bumps. Should I switch medicines? Tell my doctor? Idk what to do considering the fact that I thought that this medicine was working, but now I see tiny bumps on my lips…plus it’s been making me feel terrible.

Bicillin Shot

I recently got the shot for getting rid of syphilis & after a few days I have started having brown, bad smelling discharge.. I just had a Pap smear and everything came up perfectly fine, just the syphilis. Is that just the shot getting rid of it? Surely the shot is working, but why this discharge?

TTC w/HSV-2??? TTC after MISCARRIAGE???

Hello, so I have 4 children (1 girl & 3 boys) and just recently had a miscarriage a few weeks ago. I bled really heavy for about a week and stopped bleeding. At this this last pregnancy, I found out that I had HSV-2 (as I had sore blisters on my vagina). I really want to try again for another baby, but I don’t want my current partner getting the virus as well. I’ve been taking acyclovir daily to prevent another outbreak and possibly minimize the chances of me giving it to my partner. It’s been about a week and this medicine doesn’t make me feel the greatest. Me and my partner haven’t done nothing in a while. He most likely (100%) doesn’t have it. I was hoping that this last miscarriage would’ve been my last baby and I would’ve been done having children, especially if it was the gender that I would’ve been okay with, plus also considering the fact that I found out that I’m living with this virus forever. But now it’s like I feel like I should try again for my ‘rainbow’ baby. I’m so confused on how herpes work. Am I contagious only during an outbreak? What are the chances of my partner getting it if I’m on antiviral medicine? I’m scared that he will find out that he got it because he sometimes goes to the plasma center to donate his plasma. My doctor didn’t really explain the virus to me well. Is HSV-2 found in the blood or the saliva? I’m so confused. Please help. And about when should my regular period begin? I’m just in shambles…thanks in advance everyone ❤️

I tested positive for hsv2 with an index score of 1.57. Could this be a false positive as it was done through a blood test?

Yes, it means you are positive. Herpes is extremely common and most people don’t even know that they have it. There’s no shame in it. Did your doctor call you to discuss your results?

I tested positive but my partners tested negative.

I’m posting anonymously because I just don’t want anyone to know … I’ve been in a poly relationship for a few months, I got tested dec 27th and was clean of everything besides BV, which is fine because I’m very prone to BV (I’m super sensitive) well fast forward to Jan 19th, I went to the gyno because I was sure I had BV again. I had got the full on testing of everything just to be safe. Results came back positive for BV and positive for chlamydia.. I’ve only been with these 2 people (1girl 1guy). The last time me and the girl had sex was in October, and since then I’ve only been having sex with the guy (my boyfriend). They both went and got tested January 21st and it came back negative for them both.. I’m at such a loss because now fingers are being pointed at me and I’m struggling so bad because this doesn’t make sense to me at all… I haven’t had sex with anyone else or done anything with anyone else.. is it possible this could be a false positive?? Im on the meds for it & I know it’s only spread through sexual contact/intercourse.. please help

Std question

Me and my partner used condoms, something went wrong, I tested positive for chlamydia 🙄 we were both treated and have had sex. Would gonorrhea be an issue? could he still have gonorrhea even though I only tested positive for chlamydia which we were treated for. Would I have had both stds?

If you were positive he is assumed to have been exposed and most likely positive too. Lots of places give partner treatment that same day. If he has not been tested he should be. Once you take meds you are clear but he can give you a new infection of chlamydia then you could get an antibiotic resistenat bacteria. You also said its been 2 months so duh it would be gone. 3 weeks after sex you will have accurate results for this time around. He could have been treated and not told you as well. A lot of people get anonymous texts to go get tested when someone they've had sex with tests positive for something. Usually if theres exposure they get treated the same day and have testing sent out same day.

Std question

My partner took his medicine around 2am this morning (jan2) I told him to take it jan 1st so it can be a full 7 days... we were planning to have sex Jan 8 would a few hours into a new day make a big difference I’m still going to ask my doc.

Could be syphilis or herpes

Could my bf have givin me STD?

So a few weeks ago around the 3rd of December I started getting symptoms so I’m thinking yeast infection. I went and got tested cause my bf who I met on a trip, / and I were sexually active. But before I came to my trip I was getting freaky with an old fling. So my test came back positive for chlymedia. I called and told him cause I was really freaked out he said he hasn’t had sex in six months. So we both assumed it was me cause I was sexually active but I get tested between partners. Prior to my trip I had taken a full blown STD and STI test and was waiting for the result. I contacted my ex partner and told him to get tested. I recently got my results for my test and everything was negative and my ex sexual partner got tested and he was negative. I sent my bf a copy of the test and he didn’t say anything about it. Here I am feeling dirty and embarrassed about something that he could have given to me. I can’t shake this off. I need to talk to my bf about it. I know some men can carry it without showing any symptoms. I did get him treatment as well as I. He didn’t want to get tested cause he doesn’t like the dr and needles. The worst part about it is the shame and pain I went through. I was swearing off having sex cause it hurts so much. How do I bring this up?
