I just tested positive for gonorrhea in my throat. The test came out negative for all other STDs.
I had oral sex last week with a guy (I gave him a blowjob). If the gonorrhea was already there from a previous sexual contact, did that increase my risk for HIV when I gave that guy a blowjob (without having had semen in my mouth)?

I read that flying increases blood pressure and puts some at a risk for clots and pulmonary embolism. What should I do?
I had an accident at work October 2004 (head injury), I complained of hissing in my ears and my hearing was hypersensitive, I had a hearing test at NHS audiology, I was issued with noise generators. I also complained of jaw ache pain, so I visited my Dentist, he had taken an x-ray that shown no problems with teeth. May 2005 after many minor accidents I was referred for neurological examinations and MRI scans. I was diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome. Tinnitus and Hyperacusis, I have complained from day one, that my Tinnitus gets louder when I turn my head, it sounds as though it’s from my ears! But I have realised that when I have been talking in a crowded room for a long time this is more prominent. I can live with Tinnitus and Hyperacusis that seems to be in my head due to Neuro rehab CBT, and Tinnitus therapy, could it be I am temporally damaging my jaw cartilage or muscles through raising my voice, I feel discomfort and fullness of ears, the Tinnitus and Hyperacusis that then radiates from my ears lasts for hours or a couple days, but aggravates the Tinnitus and Hyperacusis that seems to be in my head, this is when I am accident prone. I am 58 and my occupation is lorry driver. I feel that when I explain this to the medical profession that they do not listen. My dentist suggested trigeminal nerve, cartilage, TMJD, I have lived with this condition for 4 and half years but would prefer a better quality of life. I would be very grateful for any information.

Has anyone heard that HRT increases SS symptoms? I'm on a HRT in the form of a low dose patch. I've been experiencing dry/irritated eyes and read that HRT can make your eyes dryer in addition to the other risks associated w/SS.
View 14 RepliesI was recently diagnosed with Gonorrhea, the doctor gave me antibiotics. I was also got tested for HIV and the result was negative. But right now, I am terrified because CDC links gonorrhea and hiv co-infection. I don't exactly when I got the gonorrhea, but I believe maybe within 2 months only, and I got treated. My question is, was there a chance that I might have been exposed to HIV as well? assuming the person who gave me gonorrhea was also co-infected with HIV? I am very terrified now as the negative result I got from HIV was too soon, and the test might have not picked up. Please advise on this as I'm really scared. The past 3 months I only performed unprotected oral sex, no orgasm inside my mouth, but there could have been cuts and I didn't notice. I had done oral sex with different persons lately. What are the chances of me getting the HIV as well?
View 6 Replies I have a girlfriend, about a month ago I had sex outside my relationship with an escort. The condom broke. I was worried about chlamydia and gonorrhea immediately. Although I never got any kind of burning sensation or coloured discharge.
few days after the encounter I saw my GP and asked him for treatment, without testing. A positive test result cold potentially have devastating effect and word would get out believe it or not. So the doctor gave me a course of azithromycin for 5 days along with a course of doxycycline for a week.
Two weeks after that I found our that the medicine he gave me does not cure gonorrhea only chlamydia. Also at the same time I was told by my girlfriend that she thinks she has a yeast infection. to be on the safe side I treated her and myself again with cefixime 400 for 1 week and 1 gram of azithromycin on the first day followed by 500mg the second day.
We are now a week on from that treatment, and I still have doubts about myself. My girlfriend's "yeast infection" has cleared up almost completely. But for me I have a weird feeling in my penis, almost like a slight itchiness inside. Also I feel as if there is always a drop left that I need to squeeze out, and when I do squeeze it I get the teeniest drop of clear fluid that comes out, also my testicles feel itchy (not sure if this is related). At first I just thought it was my mind overthinking and me worrying that was doing this... but now I'm quite sure that things are not normal
I dont want this to ruin our relationship as we have two children together, and I need any treatment to happen in secret. I can get my hands on any medication that is required quite easily.
1- What do I do about myself? Is there any additional meds I need to take? Do I need the intramusclar injection of Ceftriaxone??
2- Do I need to do anything about my girlfriend? especially since I cant tell her what has happened for the sake of our kids!! Is she fine if she is symptom free? Could she be cured with the course of antibiotics I gave her? Please note she also took anti fungal meds at the same time.
Would really appreciate any advice I could get.
month of Feb 2014 i have sex with my ex girlfriend month of March 2014 i have white discharge every morning, pain in urinating and itchy sensation go to urologist and he said i have gonorrhea without any test, he describe me an injection and medicine 2x a day for 1 week. the symptoms gone and after a month its there again, then my doctor describe again a medicine, then symptoms are gone again then few months its there again. few months without taking anymore medicine the symptoms are gone. i thought i have no gonorrhea. then
month of May 2015 i have a girlfriend we always have sex, he had no symptoms of gonorrhea in past months until when we 8 months {month of January 2016} we have sex and a day after we sex she said she's pain while and after urinating and itchy inside of her vagina. (note: she have 2 ex boyfriend that she have sex with before we. 1st relationship; they both virgin, 2nd: the guy is virgin)
*and i have no other sexual partner, im loyal to her
*i have no symptoms of gonorrhea for almost 2 years
Question:1. have i infected her?
2.is my gonorrhea is still there?
I am in a relationship for around a year now. Almost overtime we had sex I had some smelly whitish or not colored discharge for a few days. Sometimes we didn't have sex at all and healed by itself and sometimes it took a while till it goes away completely. Also in the beginning of our relationship I had some issues with my period. I was having trouble with having it and once I didn't get my period for almost 3 months. My doctor didn't do any tests and gave me a birth control pill. It still didn't work and she gave a more powerful one. Now I have my periods on time every month for 6 months.
Last week my boyfriend suddenly had a big pain and burn in his penis when we had sex after 3 weeks without having sex. Then he started getting discharge from his penis. Is it possible that I had gonorrhea all the time but he didn't have symptoms and healed by himself. He was working on his bachelor degree and he was completely out of shape because of that. Is there any chance that he had the symptoms for the first time ever this week because his immune system got weak or something. I am gonna have a test for fertility because our doctor told us that if I had it all the time, there is a high chance that I might got barren.
I am a gay male who has had confirmed gonorrhea and has been treated successfully (injection with antibiotics and regular tablets).
My GP insists that I also undergo a HIV test, since gonorrhea and HIV are often contracted together. I got the gonorrhea from unprotected oral sex. At the same time I also had protected anal sex (as a top).
While I wasn't that concerned, I started to develop a minor rash on my chest, shoulders and arms. Could this be a HIV primary infection rash or could it be due to the antibiotics (ten days ago), stress.
I had unprotected anal sex (giving and receiving) and caught gonorrhea over a month ago. Had burning on urination and penis discharge especially in the morning. I received treatment and symptoms subsided from the urinary tract. However, I'm suspecting a persistent rectal problem. There is discomfort with bowel movements, and faeces are greenish brown and not solid (abit leafy almost). I live in an extremely homophobic country, so theres no way I can get checked for a possible anal STD without the risk or persecution. Please advise. Should I repeat the treatment for a 3rd time? Is the bacteria becoming resistant?

View 1 RepliesI tested positive for gonorrhea today and my doctor gave me some antibiotics which I took as soon as I got home. My doctor told me that I shouldn't have unprotected sex for 7 days, however I was going to see my boyfriend in 8 days and I planned on having sex with him. Would it be safe to have sex with him without giving him gonorrhea if we used a condom? I figured it would be okay since it's past 7 days, but I just want to make sure.
View 6 RepliesFew years ago, i was diagnosed with gonorrhea and I was left untreated for 1.5 months.
Later, my symptom of gonorrhea has gone. However, symptoms of prostatitis developed and lasted till now (its almost
3 years). I have taken so many antibiotics for a year. But finally they seemed useless to my pain of prostatitis (so i quit it). Now the symptoms are mild. But it really bothers me. I have thought to suicide, because I think i am still contagious of STD. I am afraid gonorrhea is hiding in my prostate, causing prostatitis.
I have done so many tests (PCR of semen, prostatic fluid). They came back neg. However, I wonder if these tests are false neg (because the false neg reports made me left untreated my problem of gonorrhea. I am afraid i would pass STD to my gf...I am afraid i could not father a child..these problems annoy me so much..Sometimes i would think its better to die rather than suffer..can someone professional or experienced help me?
Has anyone here ever gotten positive gonorrhea after unprotected oral sex ?
There seems to be conflicting information. For chlamydia and trichomoniasis it is said that these bacteria do not survive in mouth. Gonorrhea affects the back of throat and can be acquired more easily with deep-throat only.
So my question is , has anyone here caught gonorrhea from oral exposure only ?
I met my boyfriend this summer, and after a while we decided to have anal sex. We went unprotected and after some days I had a clear discharge. It went like that about two weeks before I got tested. I did a full test for STDs and gonorrhea came back positive, my partner had it all negative.
Our doctor prescribed only for me an injection of ceftriaxone 250mg and 10 days of longamicine. My partner didn't take anything.
After some weeks we had sex again and I got reinfected, I had burning coming back again, a yeast infection, and dicharges, and a very painful testicule and very itchy at the same time. My doctor gave me the same treatment as before and my boyfriend took it too.
After two weeks, I had clear discharge coming back again and we didn't have sex at all since the last incident. No itching, no pain, just a clear discharge which sometime is white. My doctor gave me this time Cipro 500 mg for 5 days to clear everything, but it didn't stop at all.
I want to go for a test again but would the results be accurate after 2 weeks of the last treatment (with Cipro) or should I wait longer ?
I am really concerned about those last discharges as it might cause big damages.
I'm very anxious, I am a male, after receiving unprotected oral sex from a female sex worker:
What is the likelihood of getting gonorrhea particularly if this female had throat/oral gonorrhea ?
My symptoms are itching penile head and a sore throat / loss of voice
Iv been positive for gonorrhea before and treated. and blood test and urine test was now negative for std n hiv now. Now im having a watery clear discharge from anus.. Any idea what am i having ?
