I am a gay male. I recenlty had anal sex for the first time with a guy that I have met up with for casual sex several times this summer. This was the first time I ever used a condom for any extented amount of time. I also used considerable about of lube. Which was pure glycerin, not KY or some other lube. I have heard that glycerin is bad for women and yeast infections. Would that have something to do it with it? Anyway right after having sex. I noticed that the base of my penis had a few small red blotches. I showered, but dont know if I washed really well since I showered with the guy that I had sex with. Furthermore, the redness has spred to the middle of my shaft. It doesn't itch at all and there are no symptoms of herpes or any other std, that I can tell. Also the reddness seems to orginate in the creases of my penis, when it is soft. It has been 4 days and i have yet to see any real improvement or any signs of it getting worse. Any ideas??

General question...what are the chances of a heterosexual male contracting HIV through a one time protected sexual encounter with an anonymous partner?

Please no rude comments, I'm asking for my mom. A while ago my mom started getting outbreaks in her private area as well as her mouth. She had been depressed because two of her grandchildren moved 20 hours away from us and she used to take care of them when their mom would go to work. She loves those kids sooo much. After that she was really depressed. Any time that she gets angry or really really worried about one of her children or anybody else, she says that she can feel the burning and the upcoming warts. If she relaxes she doesn't get them. She went to the doctor and he told her she had herpes but not because of any sexual reason. He told her it was because she was depressed and worried too much. My mother has been happily married to my father for about 40 years and my mom isn't like that, she's a decent woman and would never do anything like that. Is this possible? I mean it sounds almost incredible.

I STRONGLY doubt I have any STDs, but I just wanna make SURE I don't have any. I'm going to get tested the day after next. The reason why is because of my ex-boyfriend cheating, even though he & I used protection every single time. I've had STD testing before, & I'm scared of them sticking stuff up me. It's uncomfortable & really painful. But it's way better off than suffering an STD. I have a nervous disorder & can't stay relaxed or keep still.

I have a rash on my inner thigh and I have little white pimples with hairs growing out of them all over my inner thigh on both legs. My inner thigh is extremely sensitive to the touch since this rash appeared. I searched WebMD and it says if you have herpes you get a red rash with puss filled blisters, I want to know if I should be worried. The rash has been there for about 1 week.

PS. My girlfriend just had a yeast infection, Don't know if its related.
Also during her yeast infection we had sex and her vagina was dry and it caused my penis to pull and there is a small laceration right under the ridge of my penis, but I have never seen or noticed blisters on my penis, I went to a very good dermitologist, who looked at the penis injury and told me I have nothing to worry about, But with all these things I read on the internet how can I help it. Before I schedule another appointment with the doctor someone please tell me if Hair can grow out of a Herpes Blister

"One out of three sexually active older adults infected with HIV has unprotected sex", according to a study by Ohio University researchers. A survey of 260 HIV-positive older adults found that of those having sex, most were male, took Viagra and were in a relationship.

Why do you think the majority of men who are HIV positive are having unprotected sex? I hope it's because they are in a relationship with someone else who is also HIV positive, but if they're not, why are they exposing their partner(s) to HIV? Why aren't these people taking responsibility for their actions?

Here's the article from Science Daily:

I was dating this guy about 4 years ago. I broke up with him because he was cheating. I met this wonderful guy and we have a child together. I got tested for HIV twice when I was pregnant. Both came out negative. My guy got tested last year and came out negative. I took a test yesterday and have to get my results today. I am so scared that I could have HIV from my ex. I have not been sick, I just ready to move on with no regrets. I was wondering should I be worried about it, because I am constantly thinking about it.

Seems like everytime i read these boards and someone complains of some issue in the downstairs area, they're always told they probably have an std or are pregnant. Why is this always assumed? As far as stds, it could just be some sort of irritation? Itchiness does not always mean std. If your arm was itchy would you tell someone they better get to the dr asap because they probably have an infection?
