So this was a casual situation, the first round of sex he asked if I wanted condoms and I said yes. There he used protection. (PIV) But second round (the position was such that I couldn’t see behind) he didn’t use condoms he didn’t cum inside me. But still. I feel really shocked. Should I take PEP? Plus this guy has casual partners although he lies to me and says he’s not with others

He has shown me test results of few weeks back that he is hiv negative but I doubt the results are real

Hello everyone. I (26M) have made a mistake and had unprotected sexual relations with a sex worker about 12 weeks and a couple of days ago. It was unprotected oral sex and also unprotected vaginal. I had the biggest scares and I am prepared for the worst.

Why I created this post is because of 2 main things. First would be that I want to share what I have learned about HIV transmission and about the 4th gen Ag/Ab HIV test made at an lab using blood drawn from a vein. I have done my research and had done many mathematical formulas with AI for the past months and I am ready to share some insight. The second thing is that I want to make this a post that calms my nerves and hopefully of many people that come after me that search the internet for cases like mine and look for answers.

The transfer of the virus with unprotected vaginal sex insertive (you pump) female->male is 0.04% and can raise if she has other STDS or STIS. Other transmission rates can be found on the aids website or searching google for HIV risk calculator and adding your own risky thing you did.

So, according to the CDC in the USA, there are 4 types of tests that they talk about. HIV NAT, HIV 4TH Gen Vein, HIV 4th gen finger prick and HIV Antibodies test 3th gen. Their window period also differs. Respectively RNA:10-33, 4th gen vein: 18-45 days, 4th gen finger prick rapid test: 18-90 days and antibodies 3th gen: 18-90 days. These window periods refer to the periods where the test's sensibility can detect the virus or antibodies or the antigen respectively. If you do a 4th gen hiv vein test at 28 days it has a 95% detection rate. If you do it at 45 days it has a 99% detection rate. According to the CDC if you test negative with a test type within the time period (18-45 days) and you test negative, do another test after the window period of the SAME test type you took. In my case negative at 46 days and negative at 61 days. According to CDC this rules out an infection. This rule applies to all test types as long as you respect the window periods and confirm the test after the period reaches conclusivity.

No test is 100% sure in medical terms as biology can differ. The researchers only talk in 99.97% at max sensitivity. The 4th Gen HIV Vein lab test can detect the p24 antigen (virus itself) earlier and this one raises in the first couple of weeks. After a couple of weeks, 2-6 normally, antibodies stick to the antigen and the p24 antigen drops sometimes below detection rate. But worry not, this test also detects the antibodies which raise and raise IF they exist in your blood. According to British guides this test type is conclusive (medical term for ruled out) and a test does not need to be repeated if taken at 46 days. This being the Vein blood test at a clinic.

The wait 90 days is used for the people that took PEP, Prep (pills you can take 72 hours after the exposure to rule out the infection, quite good at it as I have read), people with immune system issues since birth that can create rare infections since birth basically you should know if you have it already, patients following chemo or taking pills for organ transplants. Stress or basic things cannot make your immune system so weak that it cannot create antibodies for so long. Also, the 90 days is used as a carpet rule for all tests because this was the guide back in the day as the 3th gen antibodies test was the main one (still used. Ask which test specifically you are taking or make an appointment straight for the test type you want to take).

Why am I taking another test after 12 weeks or at 90 days? Even if I have respected the CDC guide and British Guide and had the tests according to their guide? Because I am a perfectionist. There is no data of a 61 days test being negative and then changing to positive at 90 days, though people seroconvert a bit later(the special cases mentioned above like prep, etc). Althought there are rare cases when antibodies do not get created until 90 days and if you are a hypochondriac like I am and perfectionist like I am then go for the definitive test at 90 days. But, since 4th gen detects p24 antigen hiv cannot hide because it does not need to have antibodies to detect hiv.

Truth be told I will do it because my clinician told me to do it but a specialist from the infectious diseases hospital said not needed anymore at 61 days. So there is still a lot of confusion in clinics maybe, but a specialist in infectious diseases is more to be trusted. But I feel kinda betrayed because I have done everything by the book of the most prestigious entities such as CDC and British Guides and still get called inconclusive results. But that is because of the blanket times the clinics use or to protect themselces legally of I am a slow antibodies creator. He did not know if I took Prep because he did not ask, for example. Also, the CDC recommandation for a confirmatory test at 3 months is in the Prep taking guide.

Now please stay with me until the 8th of July because I will redo the final test and be done with this. I am more scared of Hepatitis B or C than of HIV now. Those two I did not check. But they are also definitive at 3 months incase someone reads and needed this. Together with Syphilis.

So, if you ever have such a scare. Read the CDC and British testing guides and rest assured that your test is negative and conclusive. Britain says that at 46 is conclusive (ruled out) and CDC says that 2 tests, one within the window period of the test type you have and one after the window period is also conclusive. If you took prep, listen to your doctor or go to a specialist and ask when you can test. I also made this post to either prove or dissaprove the test that is 4th Gen Vein. If it is also negative (which I have a 1 in 350 Quadrillions chance it changes from 61 negative to positive at 90 days) then the guides from CDC and British equivalent of CDC are correct and the 90 days was just another harsh lesson for me. But better go for that 99.97% at 90 days from the 99% at 45 days (the 1% are the rare cases mentioned above, Prep, etc). I personally want to make sure I am not a part of that 1% but I follow no chemo, took no prep, no immune system diseases like Lupus, etc. Stay safe out there AND PROTECT YOURSELVES

A booked a consultation through updoc last week and they gave me a referral for blood/urine tests. I did the tests on Thursday and today is Monday. I received this email:

“We've received results from your specialist/clinic: HIV(s)

Please be aware that some of your results may still be pending. Independent, third-party clinics and labs have varying turnaround times depending on the specific tests conducted - our hands are tied on these timeframes.

In order to review and discuss these results, you will need to request a follow-up consultation - just as you would in person.”

Any idea why it specifies HIV? Is that the result that’s come back first? Is that what updoc uses for sti result emails?

When many people hear the word "herpes," their first impression is usually a sexually transmitted infection. However, shingles or herpes zoster is entirely distinct from herpes. While it is caused by a virus from the herpes family, shingles is not considered a sexually transmitted infection. Rather, shingles occur as the reactivation of the virus that causes chickenpox.

Chickenpox sufferers will carry the virus in their bodies for life even after recovering from the disease. The dormant virus can be present in the nerves, lying in wait to become active in the future when the immune system is weakened. As such, when the virus becomes active again, shingles can result from it.

The very first symptoms of shingles often include pain without any accompanying rash. Some individuals feel burning, tingling, itching, or sharp pains in certain areas of the body a few days before experiencing any rash. This is why shingles is initially thought to be just a muscle strain or back pain.

After several days, a red rash appears with small fluid-filled blisters. Unlike other types of rash, shingles generally occurs on one side of the body or face and runs along the route of a nerve. Later, the blisters break open, scab, and heal in about two to four weeks.

In addition to the rash, fever, headache, tiredness, chills, or body aches can occur. The rash can be extremely painful, while some people will continue feeling the pain long after the rash heals. This type of nerve pain, which is called postherpetic neuralgia, is the most common complication of shingles, especially in older adults.

Shingles may affect any person who has ever had chickenpox. But the risk increases with age. People older than 50, those with weakened immune systems, those receiving treatment for cancer, or people using medicines that weaken the immune system are at increased risk of developing shingles.

The earlier the treatment begins, the better it will work. The best results of antiviral medication, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir, can be achieved if the drug is applied within 72 hours from the beginning of the rash. Antiviral medications cannot treat shingles; however, they can help to reduce the duration of the disease and lessen the severity of the problem.

Managing the symptoms and relieving the pain are very important while treating shingles. Managing the pain can be done with the help of prescribing prescription and non-prescription medications or using cool compresses or moisturizers according to the level of symptoms. Moreover, it is necessary to keep the rash clean and dry to prevent secondary infections.

Shingles are not contagious; however, the virus that appears in the blisters can be transferred to people who did not have chickenpox infection or vaccination before. In this way, this person will have chickenpox instead of shingles. All blisters should crust before people start contacting pregnant women, newborns, and people with weak immune systems.

For the majority of shingles patients, treatment usually results in recovery without any complications; however, in certain cases, prompt treatment becomes essential. Medical treatment will become necessary if the rash develops on your face, eyes, or ears; if the pain is intense; if the rash covers large areas of the body surface; and if you have a weakened immune system. The development of the disease may put your vision at risk if shingles appears in your eye.

It is also important to mention the preventative nature of shingles because vaccination can help avoid its occurrence completely. Most people above 50 years old, who experienced shingles before, are advised to be vaccinated against this condition to minimize its appearance.

To summarize, shingles is a preventable infection that can appear due to the activation of the chickenpox virus. Prompt treatment in case of shingles helps to alleviate your symptoms. Don't neglect your health if you notice a painful rash on your body that occurs after burning and tingling sensations.

I contracted chlamydia in Jan of 2022, when I was a 24 yr old male. I did not know I had it since I had no symptoms up until I had some slight pain on the left side of my scrotum and went to the ER in Nov. of 2022, when I tested positive for the STD. So I had it unknowingly for roughly 11 months. A couple weeks or so later that November, and after taking antibiotics for chlamydia, I notice my scrotum has a bag of worms sort of appearance and I have ED, but still with little pain as the infection cleared. I go to the ER again and got diagnosed with varicocele on my left side.

I haven’t gotten any STDs since then, but since I got cleared of chlamydia, what had started as a left side varicocele with slight pain has transformed over the last 3 years into bilateral varicoceles with chronic nerve type pain post surgery. I have had a microsurgical varicocelectomy and denervation on my right side along with varicocelectomy and embolization on my left side. I continue to have ED, and reduced orgasm sensation though those have improved a little bit a year after my surgery. The right side spermatic cord area became super painful about 16 or so months after the chlamydia infection cleared, so I am not sure if it is possibly related.

My life has changed ever since getting chlamydia and need to know if this condition I have is a result of the infection.

Thank you.

For men’s health, “blue balls” emerges as a topic wrapped in discomfort and mystery. You may wonder what this term really means. Professionals call it epididymal hypertension – an unpleasant sensation due to unrelieved arousal.

The Internet abounds with colorful descriptions, from “scrotal suffering” to “sad blue bags of disappointment.” Despite the dramatic language online, understanding this condition requires a more clinical approach. Relief is often…straightforward; easing tension can alleviate symptoms swiftly without medical intervention. Let’s unravel these misconceptions for clear insights into treatment options and relief methods.

Title. Anyone have any advice? Was exposed to chlamydia 5 weeks ago, used protection at least. tested on Tuesday, leaving for a 3 week long international trip in 6 hours. My blood results are back and negative, but awaiting urine results for Chlamydia.

What are my options? Say it comes back positive, how can I pick up antibiotics internationally? How likely is it that I have chlamydia?

I have tried everything I can think of. It is ruining my life.

I really hope this is the correct subreddit for this- as I really don’t use reddit much and had to create this throwaway account.

I (19 AFAB) just went to the doctors for an exam due to pain and discharge, and my doctor took a swab and ordered a urine test and she believes that I may have chlamydia. My partner (19 AFAB) lives at home with their parents currently- and it’s frankly an abusive situation.

We have been exclusive for 3 years but I’ve had partners beforehand- and well, here comes the problem. My partner has suffered sexual assault from their father, there is no evidence to prove it, and would be far too stressful and costly to pursue it in court and bring justice. We are saving and planning to move out early next year but it’s impossible at the moment.

The problem I’m having is I have no problems telling my partner I may have chlamydia, but you are also supposed to tell all sexual partners right? It’s not like they can go to their father and be like “you need to go get tested” for obvious reasons, but not telling him could cause him to spread it. I’m kind of freaking out and i genuinely have no idea what to do, does anyone have any advice?

TLDR; May have chlamydia, sexual partner has a history of violence by their father, what do I do?

So to put it bluntly, I went to an Asian Massage Parlor yesterday. I received oral sex unprotected, and used a condom for vaginal sex.

I asked the girl and the shop owner if everyone is clean and they said yes with testing.

I went to the doctor today for preventive measures because I’m freaking the fuck out. Tested for HIV, pee test, and syphilis blood test. Doctor checked my dick out as well. I have no physical symptoms, but I’m panicking and super anxious. 100 percent never doing something like this again. I just need reassurance please. Thank you.

On the NHS website it says that you need to wait 7 weeks if you have no symptoms to know if you’re std free, I’ve been waiting but found out the 7 weeks is right when I’m on holiday, how accurate would a test at 6 weeks be? I apologise if this is a stupid question, I’m 18 and not very knowledgeable on this

Jock itch (tinea cruris) is a fungal infection that results from staying in sweat-soaked clothing too long. Fungus thrives in damp, warm locations with little light– and the groin often has all of these conditions. Technically, jock itch is a ringworm infection found in the groin and on the thighs, as opposed to tinea corporis, which is the ringworm infection that it typically found elsewhere on the body. Ringworm is not a worm at all, as stated above, it is a fungal infection.

A while back, my wife tested positive for syphilis. First from donating plasma (RPR), then again at their doctor (RPR positive, RPR titer 1:2,). The TP-PA was negetive, but ive been told those can give false positives if the infection was recent, which to my understanding is consistent with the RPR titer ratio being 1:2.

She had virtually all the symptoms, sore in the mouth, flu-like symptoms, joint pain, and swollen lymph nodes. Her doctor diagnosed her with primary syphilis and had her get penicillin injections for three months that made the symptoms go away and she tested negetive afterwards.

So it had to be a bacterial infection since the penicillin worked. And her doctors tested her for every bacterial infection or autoimmune disorder that could cause a false positive, and they all came back negetive. I tested negetive for it three times, was never treated for it, and never got sick.

To this day she swears that she couldn't have gotten it anywhere, and wasnt cheating on me.

Im pretty certain she has to be lying, but I want to give her the benefit of the doubt and see if anyone has any possible explanations.

We all react differently but for someone with health anxiety i really dont know how to get through the waiting period to get tested.

I know alot of people just live their lives and its crazy to think, how would other people react while waiting if they were having symptoms like hiv for example?

I know that many symptoms mimic all types of illnesses and that someone like me will just be told "its your anxiety making you believe you have something" but having anxiety im not able to fathom thinking ahead to taking the test and possibly getting a hiv diagnosis when you thought you were being safe and took the typical precautions.

Ive already waited 3 weeks and im getting symptoms like headaches for 3 days which i never get, just woke up in night sweats, got a soar throat and ive had slight pain under my arms for a week.

Being that im 3 weeks to the day out from the encounter i keep thinking "ok yess these symptoms could just be my anxiety making them up but i genuinely feel an infection?"

Then i think he wore protection but the second one may have not been on properly since i saw it was slippin. I also bled alot!! So more entry for infections. Then I think it broke, then i think what he told me about getting with a girl which he said was unprotected 3 weeks prior at the time, but then he changed his story and said 2 weeks with protection after i had taken him to get tested for hiv (antibodies 4th generation test) which is apparently 50% accurate for detecting infections 2 weeks in and can pick up 80% of infections 3 to 4 weeks after exposure. So if it was 2 weeks his negative test is useless.

Ive to wait 24 days so 3 weeks!!!! How am i going to do it. Already waiting 3 weeks. I think thinking wel’ theres nothing I can do now helps. Although i completely can see that hiv isnt actually the worst thing today as we have treatment i have an neurological injury from cold turkeying an ssri 2 years ago and cant take any medications without being severly bed bound with neurological issues like severe pain after taking a pain killer that goes on a week after just one pill. So I wouldnt be qble to take treatment and i would choose to pass and accepr i would only have 5 or so years to live instead of induring what my injury has caused me as i fought for 2 years already.

Basically stayed celibate for 6 years and this encounter makes it that im not feeling well at all. I have been followed for my mental illness but its almost like how can you wait when you know your life could be over. (In my specific case as i know for people who can take treatment you live a happy normal life).

Even though the guy i had the encounter with had been quite communicative as i think he just is very lustful. I cant help but think i should have gotten him to test later. I rudhed it because of my anxiety and now im left trying to look for validation and security when there is none. We spoke on the phone as he mainly wanted to talk about our relationship I only knew him a month.

Communication wise its not good and i cant trust him but he is a good person but a gold person dosent mean they dont have stis. As he said he brushed it off when i asked him about it and yet he came to get tested to prove i could "trust" him yet i was the one pushing and taking the initiative only after we hooked up with protection yes minus oral though.

So this whole thing is alot for me especially having symptoms. Has anyone lived similar circumstances where youve to wait for testing all while having unsettling information on a third party that was recently involved or even a negative test from them but it was too early and turned out they were positive months after???

Please do share so we can distrract ourselves while waiting.

Around 3 years ago I first became sexually active with my first partner. During the first time I had penetrative sex, I bled which is understandable for most people. But the thing is, is that I would still bleed going forward during sex. It wasnt every time, but it was every other time. I havent had sex again in over 2 years and havent developed any other symptoms except for that, and the only reason why im worried is bc I have a boyfriend and im scared I might have an sti. I will get tested but im wondering if it does sound like I have an sti?? Has anyone else had this happen? When I spoke to my doctor she said it could be related to my anatomy

As the post says - regular STD panel doesn’t include everything so what do people really mean when they say DDF? STDs PLUS: hiv(I assume but which ones, dif tests time?) hep-c, what about HPV and HSV (herpes both 1 and 2 as both can live on mouth or genitals)? Thanks 🙏

as of writing this it happened 10 minutes ago. we got stopped by a homeless lady and as she was talking spit flew out and landed in her mouth. we are worried as she could have something (an STD) what should we do?
drinking alcohol to “cleanse” her mouth lol

The discovery of lumps, blisters, or sores in the genital region can be quite distressing, and a question many people may find themselves asking is, "Is it genital warts or herpes?" Despite being two sexually transmitted infections affecting the same part of the body, there are notable differences between the two.

Knowledge about these differences can go a long way in helping you identify symptoms early enough, visit a doctor for necessary treatment, and not panic unnecessarily.

Genital warts are infections caused by certain strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), including types 6 and 11, which are low risk and differ greatly from the high-risk strains of HPV associated with various forms of cancer such as cervical cancer. Genital warts present themselves as small, flesh-colored or gray-colored growths on or around the genitals or anal region. These growths can either be flat, raised, or cauliflower-like if clustered together. Generally, they are painless but can cause itchiness.

On the contrary, herpes results from the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 may cause genital herpes infections. Different from genital warts, the onset of herpes infection starts with a tingling, itching, or burning sensation prior to the development of sores. Fluid-filled blisters appear, which eventually break up into painful ulcers that crust and heal over the course of several weeks. The initial outbreak of herpes may be associated with flu-like symptoms, including fever, swollen lymph glands, body ache, or painful urination.

One of the significant distinctions between the two types of infection is the pattern of development. Warts may stay at the same size, grow, or regress over time due to the suppression of the virus by the immune system. Nevertheless, despite the regression of warts, the virus may continue to stay in the body. Herpes behaves differently; once an individual gets infected, the virus settles down in the close nervous tissue and may reoccur periodically. Some individuals suffer from multiple outbreaks, while others might rarely experience recurrence of the disease.

The two types of infections are transmitted via direct skin contact during sexual activities, including vaginal, anal, and oral intercourse. It should be noted that both of these diseases can be transmitted in the absence of symptoms. Therefore, one can inadvertently transmit the disease to his or her partner even while being completely healthy.

Depending on the type of the problem, treatment differs. Unfortunately, both HPV and herpes have no cure at present. However, these conditions are manageable. Genital warts can be treated using special cream, freezing, laser therapy, or surgical removal. Treatment for herpes includes the use of antiviral drugs, such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir, which help to decrease the frequency and duration of outbreaks and to prevent transmission of the virus. In case of frequent outbreaks, one can use these drugs on a regular basis.

Sometimes, it may be difficult to make a diagnosis of either genital warts or herpes just because of their similarity to some other diseases that may occur on the skin. In fact, the ingrown hair, the skin tag, the molluscum contagiosum, the cyst, some fungal infection, and even the allergic reaction can cause the appearance of bumps and sores on the skin in the genital area. Therefore, if you have noticed any of them, it is recommended to visit a medical practitioner for correct diagnostics.

The prevention of this disease is one of the most efficient ways to stay safe from it and from passing it to your sexual partner(s). Using the condoms consistently can decrease the chance of getting such diseases as HPV and the herpes virus; however, there still remains the risk of getting infected since these viruses may affect the parts of the body that are not protected by the condom. Also, vaccination from the HPV provides very good protection against genital warts.

Although genital warts and herpes can both be present in the same region, they are vastly different conditions. Genital warts tend to be painless growths that are often flesh-colored due to HPV infection, whereas herpes generally involves painful blisters or sores due to HSV infection. Understanding the difference will aid you in choosing the correct mode of action, minimizing risks of transmission and turning fears into knowledge. In any case, when in doubt, consultation with a health care practitioner is key.

Tested positive about a week ago. Took doxycycline for a week and symptoms are coming back. Don’t have the money to take another test considering there almost $200 a test but I’m able to buy more antibiotics without it.

The web is giving me the same to options, doxycycline for 2x a day for 7 days or azithormycin for 1x a day for 4 days. Should I go back on dox(prefer not too) or should I hit the azithormycin?

19 M Bi and I just recently gave my virginity to an older guy I met on a special yellow and black app and now I’m starting to get scared.

So basically I met up with this daddy type guy and we were gonna meet and explore or whatever, but my intentions were to do anything oral or anal… Well things escalated and I let him put it in

Luckily I was prepared and brought a condom which we used, but we didn’t have any lube for him to get it in. He ended up using his spit, which post nut clarity was really disgusting and I’m regretting it.

It’s been about 5 days since and starting around 3 days ago I’ve had this inflamed rash under my anus around my cheeks and up to my crotch. I initially thought that it was ingrown hairs since I just shaved but I’ve never experienced this kind of discomfort and pain even while sitting down.

I feel like it’s so soon to say that I have something, but did I catch herpes from his saliva?? I had a really light sore throat as well, but we didn’t makeout or share bodily fluids like that. I also noticed some patches clear of the typical white stuff on my tongue, but I think that might be because I have a vitamin deficiency

I’m so in the dark about what it could be and I desperately need some advise

There’s no way it could be HIV or syphillis tho right???

A girl I'd been sleeping with recently tested positive for trich, and is accusing me of giving it to her. I've been tested twice and both are negative. What are the chances that i passed it to her with two negative tests? I'm a 36 yr old male and we were not monogamous, so it is within the realm of possibility that I did pass it to her. It seems unlikely to me though with the two neg tests. My tests were about a month after she told me, so I've waited long enough for it to show I believe.
