STDs - August 2006

I had sex about a month ago with someone I barely no (regretfully) and within days I started getting a slight discharge that progressed to what I thought was a yeast infection. I bought some over the counter med for yeast infections. It helped a bit, but, my vaginal area is now irratated not ichy. I am also experiencing fatigue, my back feels tight (my shoulders are fine)and my rib cage hurts terribly. Could an STD infection cause this kind of pain and can it move to one area?

is it true that HIV can be in your body and it can come anytime in your life even if you stopped having sex for years?

A doctors opinion would be greatly appreciated. After engaging in highly risky behavior (condom came off with a high risk person) I noticed a painless blister on the head of my penis exactly five days afterwards. It has persisted in its same form for a month now. Is this typical of ARS or any ohter STD for that matter keeping in mind I noticed it only five days after the exposure?

In high school, this situation would just be called spreading hurtful rumors and destroying someone's credibility and reputation. But this is in the adult world and involves confidential medical information. The kicker for this situation is that what was said was true, but by making it public, I suffered massive personal injury and prejudice.

I mean, does the "aids" virus travel through the sperm/ semen or would one be infected as soon as the genitals make contact with each other? Does it apply to all three? (Vaginal, Oral. and Anal?)

I don't have herpes, by the way. It's juat that I could never really get a straight answer to this question.

I was just diagnosed with genital herpes. I think I'm over the initial shock of it, but still trying to deal with it. I wasn't very sexually active so it's kind of weird that I have it. Anyway, my question is, when do you tell someone you potentially want to have a relationship with that you have it? Should you tell them right when you meet them, so they don't feel like you have lied later on? Or do you get to know them first and then tell them (before you get sexually active of course)?

I'd appreciate any advice from people dealing with this, thanks!

How soon do STD's like syphillis, herpes and other std's after being infected do they appear? This is my propblem, I noticeda bump when going to the bathroom its pretty small definitely smaller than a pea, it almost look like a pimple at the vaginal opening right up next to the right side of the clitoris. Is it possible to get bumps or pimple looking things down at the vaginal region that is NOT an std? please don't just tell me to go get tested, however, i'm 21, are those confidential if you got to a health center and do you need to use insurance?--(since my parents pay my insurance while I'm in school they'd see what I did) I am engaged now, we have protected sex, and there is no question that he is clean. however a year ago I believe I was raped after a party. so if it's herpes or something like that, how long after being infected would it take to show? otherwise that's the only 2 people i'ver EVER been with rapist & fiance.

My ex is saying that there is no way he could have given me chlamydia as we never had full sex without protection.

I was with him for a year and never cheated, and the health advisor has said it is most likely I got it in the past year...

I then turned right around called my doctor and made an appointment to get a blood test for every std out there. Turns out all I have is the cold sore type of herpies. He and his wife have genital herpies. Yet, I need proof to know just for myself that I haven't given anyone else herpies. My 2nd ex-husband doesn't have it and my current partner hasn't contracted if from me either. So how is it that he has this disease and yet I don't? Someone clear this up for me. Please.

I have read a little about aids transmissions through heterosexual intercourse and the two pieces of information I have found about this is:

If you are a WOMAN and you sleep unprotected with an infected male partner, you're chances of contracting HIV from that one encounter is approximately 1 in 500 of contracting the virus.

If you are a MAN and you sleep unprotected with an infected famale partner, "The transmission female to male is so small that
its only theoretical, unlike the measurable male to female long term
risk of repeated expose to the same man discussed above."

Also there are many examples of HIV positive women being married to non-infected men who produce children and still the husband is not infected.

Does any one have any links to real and specific data that answer this question? Please provide links and please include those which are specific about number of enounters, genders, and activities.

I went to the doctor for chest pain and my mom ended up mentioning how another doctor said I had unexplained weight loss (ribs messed up, nothing to do with AIDS). I've got the weight loss, and the doctor is testing me for it to be on the safe side. I really don't have any of the other symptoms as far as I can tell. I mean, I've only had sex twice. One time was with a virgin. So, I, in all likelyhood have nothing to worry about. Nonetheless, I'm kinda sorda worried to death. Also, can normal blood tests pick this up? I've had several of those and nothing ever came up.

I think they should at least pay a portion of the cost because they have been proven to prevent STD's and pregnancy. (For the most part anyway) They cover other birth control methods, so why not?
