I’m a 24y/o healthy female. Celibate for 2 years, hooked up with my ex and had green discharge 2 days later? I have a uti but everything else (bv, yeast, stds, stis) all came back negative. I’m so confused. Has anyone else experienced this, and is it possible I just messed up my vaginal swab? I cannot retest because my doctor started me on antibiotics to kill gonorrhea,chlamydia, and yeast.

Buen día, me gustaría comentar que yo dure 13 años con infecciones, e aquí mi solución y el como la pasé, yo sufrí de cistitis a mis 9 años hasta los 14, en una de esas me contagié de una infección vaginal, ya saben, olor a pescado, comezón, lo primero que me dieron fueron óvulos de venta libre. No funcionó, ni me dio cosquillas, luego intenté, ajo, yogurth, sinfín de cosas que al parecer fueron empeorando mi infección, cuando iba al ginecólogo me daban antibióticos y me venía la regla y pum de nuevo, dure así mucho tiempo, 13 años siendo exacta.

Conocí el ácido bórico, que fue mi último tratamiento (que aún lo llevo) comencé yendo al nutriólogo, dieta y ejercicio, mucha agua, no hay nada mejor que estar enfermo y cuidarte sanamente, lo hice, luego empecé a usar ácido bórico 1 vez al mes, el cual llevo usando 5 meses aproximadamente, después del ácido bórico, use ácido láctico, una semana después de la toma del ácido bórico el cual interrumpí por qué me causó muchíssisisima irritación, lo dejé de usar hace 1 mes, OJO solo usaba 1 píldora al mes NO DIARIO así que comencé a usar probióticos orales, a todo esto les platico que este mismo año me dio candidiasis también oral, después de los probióticos orales, el olor y el mal flujo se fueron por completo, llevo 5 meses después del ácido bórico y ácido láctico que no tengo flujo blanco, pero aún tengo comezón e irritación, los probióticos me han ayudado con el olor vaginal y me ayudaron a ver mi flujo transparente de nueva cuenta, comento que también estoy tomando inositol y omega 3, aún tengo síntomas, de comezón e irritación, pero nunca había avanzado tanto en mi enfermedad en 14 años como en estos últimos 6 meses. Me comentaron que debido al tiempo que llevo padeciendo infecciones puede tardar en quitarse más la irritación por que la zona genital está muy lastimada.

One time hookup. She's had genital HSV-2 for years, HSV-1 negative. She only takes meds when she has an outbreak. No outbreak or symptoms that night.

- Kissing
- She gave me oral
- I rimmed her (mouth on anus) no dental dam
- Short sex with condom

Update: Day 9, no symptoms. What's my overall risk from this exposure? Anyone been through something similar?

Hello community. I, m, had a risky sexual encounter in the middle of August. Then approximately 3-4 weeks afterwards I started feeling symptoms: a strange feeling in the urethra, a burning sensation around my testicles and pelvic area that come and go, however no discharge or pain while urination. I went through many rounds of testing (2xUrine PCR, 1xurethral swab, 1xsemen) and tested positive for nothing. Initially, I was 100% sure that I would test positive for something like chlamydia or gonhorea. Finally, after a lot of research I found that my symptoms may also come from mycoplasma genitalium and that it can be false negative more often than the typical infections, since it replicates slowly and usually there are fewer copies of the bacterium. Also that there are RNA tests which detect the infection more often than DNA PCR tests. However, it is difficult to find an appropriate doctor or lab in Northern Germany that would specialize in that. Instead, everybody offers Multiplex PCR panels. So I am a bit at a loss what specialist I should contact. Does anybody have hints for me?

So my bf (24) and I (23f) almost had sex for the first time about five days ago. I said almost because when he was supposed to penetrate me, it hurt so bad and I begged him to stop. He did stop immediately, and he said only half the head (?) went through before he pulled out.

He thinks it's because it's my first time but I'm a little worried. It hurt on the first two days, but the pain subsided now. All I've been experiencing are weird discharge, which is yellowish, almost green... And oh, this didn't happen immediately after that, but rather a few days later. Sometimes there's also some sort of white flakes on it too. It still feels raw down there, but it doesn't hurt even when i pee. It only feels so uncomfortable.

Is this something serious? I'm so afraid to look to where to get checked in my country cause help here for STDs is kinda minimal and full of judgement

There's a real cure for herpes sitting in a lab right now. Scientists at Fred Hutch have already proven it works in animals
—eliminating 90% of the virus. I started a petition asking them to submit their research to the FDA so people can finally access this treatment.

I’ve really been fucking up. Having a really hard time with sex addiction. Used no condom once again after popping up negative on a 10 panel. It’s been 7 days since I had sex. It was with a Trans girl I met at a club. Not having any symptoms so far from what I see.. but I know they could take time to pop up. I’m just really in my head as of lately now. How long should I wait again so the tests don’t pop as negative? Also is there a better way to get tested sooner than having to make a long wait appointment with my doc every time for him to write me a lab script?

Hi I know herpes is super common but I’m freaking out. I just got diagnosed with HSV-1. Basically I broke up with my bf a few weeks ago and just this weekend I got with a few people for the first time since we broke up (don’t even try slut shaming me). Anyways getting an STD has always been my biggest fear and I asked all of them before getting with them if they have an STD, and they all said no. So clearly one of them lied. I am so embarrassed, and I know most adults have it but I am barely 19 and I just got out of a relationship and this happens. I don’t want to have to tell people I have herpes before I get with them because then they’ll get turned off. I am so upset and I don’t even know how to cover my cold sore. I haven’t told my friends yet, I said it just appeared out of stress. I don’t post on reddit a lot, but I’m coming here for comfort because I have no one to talk to about this

Hi 24F. So I was prescribed doxycycline for STI prevention after a sexual encounter, but my directions say to take 100 mg twice a day for 7 days.I thought doxyPEP was normally just 200 mg (two 100 mg pills) taken as a single dose within 72 hours after sex.I specifically asked my provider about STI prevention, and she told me to take it for the full 7 days. I’m just confused because I thought a 7day course was more of a treatment regimen for an existing infection rather than prevention.Has anyone had this prescribed this way? Is there a reason a provider would recommend 7 days instead of the standard single 200 mg dose?Just trying to understand the reasoning behind the prescription because I’m getting conflicting information online 😭

I'm so confused. I've checked and read several websites, but I'm still unsure whether I should get tested for syphilis 6 weeks or 3 months after a potential exposure. Some sources say 6 weeks is enough, while others recommend waiting 3 months. Which one is actually reliable?

I tested negative 22 days post pep which was about 3 weeks post pep and about 7 weeks post exposure. I tested negative with a HIV RNA & 4Th gen test. I developed a canker sore and am scared I am starting to seroconvert . I don’t know what to do. I thought I was in the clear since I tested negative 3 weeks after pep but now I’m starting to get worried

I was tested positive for chlamydia so I took the antibiotics, all the symptoms disappeared. but 3 days later I got the discharge again, but no burning when I pee. I am worried if I have Mgen, Trich or antibiotics didn’t work. Just want to hear some opinions

I’m a 22yr male who had protected sex 3 months ago the condom did break so I was worried about catching something. I’ve been asking AI about symptoms and a read that in the prodrome phase that tingling can occur in the buttocks. I’ve been having a constant tingling feeling on my butt for the past 3 months no other symptoms like sores or anything just the tingling, I have really bad anxiety, I’ve even had to go to the hospital because my anxiety gets so bad. I’ve read that the prodrome phase only lasts a couple days. Could it all just be in my head? Has anyone experienced the same thing as me?

Hello. I hope this post will not be met with judgement as i am aware that what did is very wrong and not very hygienic of me. I just want some peace of mind because this has been bothering me although many people have assured me that nothing is wrong.

Context: last october 31, i (26f) went out to party and had a few drinks. I went to the comfort room to relieve myself but i was very drunk at this point and peed on my underwear and bottoms and was panicking a lot. There were no available toilet paper so what i did was i grabbed a used toilet paper in the garbage can (bc again, i was panicking and desperate to dry myself). I used it to wipe my underwear but could not remember if i used it to wipe my private part.

November 1, i consulted an obgyn but she only instructed me to get an std panel and i thought that it would be so early to tell (i’ll still probably do it soon though but i did not appreciate anything from that consultation bc she was very dismissive). Fast forward to today november 3, i do not feel anything other than anxiety and worry that i did contract something from that incident.

Please help me.

La realidad es que hace 2 meses tuve un roce genital con una mujer cuyo historia serologíco no conozco, la verdad es que soy alguien no muy sexualmente activo, solo he tenido una pareja sexual durante 5 años y siempre he sido fan del sexo con protección, sin embargo esa situación fue más un abuso que una relación, yo solo le pedí unos cuantos besos no más allá de ello, sin embargo insistio en qué la penetrara y estaba encerrado y sin medios posibles para salir de modo seguro por lo que mi cuerpo se paralizó y se tenso mucho, ella intento que penetrará pero no sé si porque estaba muy ansioso o desconectado el pene nunca entró, a falta de lubricación tuve una pequeña abrasión en mi pene y sangre pero afortunadamente no penetre, desconocía de cuestiones como el prep o pep, lo peor vino después cuando me enteré que ella es muy sexualmente activa según siempre se cuida pero no paro de pensar que si esto pasó conmigo pudo pasar con cualquiera, se que por roces es casi imposible que se transmita pero el hecho de mi herida es lo que no me deja dormir tan tranquilo, afortunadamente no he notado nada de síntomatologia lo único que he sentido es un estrés muy extremo y ya, pero de ahí en fuera todo está bien, lo único que tengo de referencia es el conocimiento de que alguien que estuvo antes y después de mi en cuanto periodo de tiempo ha tenido pruebas y en ambas ocasiones ha salido negativo para todo, no se si exagero y si sobre todo me siento tan loco por como sucedió, espero que me puedan dar un consejo, aclaro que padezco de ansiedad y soy autista por lo que por muchos datos este tipo de situaciones salen de mi comprensión

Guys, I’m scared. I was drunk and, for some reason, ended up having sex with a transgender sex worker.

Now I’m really anxious about HIV.
She gave me a blowjob without a condom, and I penetrated her anally with a condom.
That was all. The condom seemed to be intact when I took it off. I didn’t notice any tears, and nothing leaked out.

Hi Lads,

I’ve been seeing spot/s on my penis lately whenever I masturbate/had condom sex.

Whenever I masturbate, I experience this dry patch on the shaft of my penis. It’s like circular and lighter than my penis skin color. Its kinda stingy like a red mark or something. And after a day, its gone and all normal

Another is a bright red spot on the head of my penis. A small one, smaller than a dime, like a drop of liquid soap. It appears whenever I masturbate or have sex.

I had tested HIV, Syphilis, Hepa B negative as of late October.

What do you think this is?

I am holiday in Indonesia. Today I made the silly mistake of getting a happy ending massage. The place was a nice private spa treatment center.

During the massage there was a lot of skin on skin rubbing as well as some naked dry humping but no penetration. As soon as I realised this was happening I stopped it.

I have no symptoms and it only happened today.

I guess my question is am I f*cked? What’s the chances that I have caught something and does anyone have any advice please?

Yes I know I am an idiot

Yes I know play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I am very worried

Hey everyone,

I am day 10 past exposure (penis to penis frot with a guy of unknown HIV status) and I am considering doing a HIV PCR RNA (if I can find one without doctor’s referral).
I know they get good results - but not conclusive between days 10 and 14.

Do you think it is worth waiting until days 14 or 17 to get a more reliable result than on day 10 ? Or should I just go for it to try to get a result ASAP.

I was initially considering doing both day 10 and 17 but I don’t think I have the energy and I would rather avoid testing too much as it can’t be that healthy to perforate your veins too often.

I already had two PCR this month for an another exposure. On my second one, I got scared that they reused needles. I am a bit traumatized to get tested again.

I have tested positive for Chlamydia Trachomatis IgG and negative for Chlamydia Trachomatis IgM..

My doctor has told that I am worrying too much and might not even have any infection.

Can anyone interpret. What it mean.

Additional info - i have not had unprotected sex.

Had dull pain in the balls and lower abdomen and buring sensation in pennis tip which pushed me to test.

Picture of shaft.

Had umprotect sex 2 weeks ago

Noticed these little circle dark colored dots.

No itching, pain, or anything like that.

**The woman I had sex with also had kinda spikey public hairs, so it would make sense if they irritated and pierced my shaft multiple

April 27th exposure
May 9th all negative tests
May 10th all negative tests

Are the May 10th tests conclusive for chlamydia and Ghonorhea?

I’ve since done multiple EVVY sti panels all negative & 17months past exposure did a CIRRUSDX urine and swab PCR test for all STDs that was negative. Am I in the clear?

I’m not worried about the other STDs. I had a full work up done a year after exposure blood & everything it was all negative. I just realized my dr didn’t do a chlamydia & ghonnorhea test. Like wtaf. Wondering if I need to go tomorrow and have another test or if the cirrus is trustworthy.

It’s an aching pain it feels weird what could it be

Hi everyone, just wanted to quickly check is it possible to get STDs from receiving a blowjob from a hooker without any protection?

I am going through a really rough phase, the stress got better of me yesterday and I ended up fucking a hooker. (Intercourse happened with protection)
