OK. heres my storey.

As of a week ago today. I went to a party and had oral sex with this guy. Well as of yesterday, i noticed my throat was sore, and i had white patches ( pus) looking substance on my throat. I went to the doctor, my temp. is normal, and my strep test results were negative. i am so afriad i may have syphilis. Yes i am a student, and i know my parents would be extremely dissapointed in me. But not nearly as dissapointed as i am in myself.

My doctor prescribed me:Azithromycin Tablets in which i will be taking for 5 days, i am supposed to go back within a week, if i dont get any better. He also gave me Vicodin for the pain.

If anyone has ever had syphilis and thinks that i might, please inform me. I am extremely worried. I realize that i have made a huge mistake, and if in fact this is syphilis i want it treated, without anyone knowing.

My school nurse informed me that, i should see her, within a week, and somehow, i can get a shot or somthing at my doctors with out my parents knowing.?

help please!

The first symptom of primary syphilis is often a small, round, firm ulcer called a chancre ("shanker") at the place where the bacteria entered your body. This place is usually the penis, vulva, or vagina, but chancres can also develop on the cervix, tongue, lips, or other parts of your body. Usually there is only one chancre, but sometimes they are many. Nearby lymph glands are often swollen. (Lymph glands, or nodes, are small bean-shaped organs of your immune system containing cells that help fight off germs. They are found throughout the body.) The chancre usually appears about 3 weeks after you're infected with the bacteria, but it can occur any time from 9 to 90 days after exposure.
Because chancres are usually painless and because a chancre can occur inside your body, you might not notice it. The chancre disappears in about 3 to 6 weeks whether or not you are treated. Thus, you can go through primary syphilis without symptoms or with only brief symptoms that you overlook. If, however, primary syphilis is not treated, the infection moves to the secondary stage.

so do you think chances are i have it or not? i asked my school nurse and she said somthing about it was too soon. and i talked to a friend whom said what i had sounded alot like strep, even though the test was negative??

Sore throats in people who have oral sex is a Common sign/symptom of STDs.
Did he or she perform oral sex on you?
Have you experienced fever, swollen lymph glands, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and tiredness

no, i just preformed oral sex on him, the only thing that i can tell is wrong is, swollen lympth nodes, white pus substance on my tonsils, i dont really have a fever, no hair loss that i can tell. no weightloss. i think im mostly tired bc my doctor presciribed vicidin which helps pain. but thats it.

Somewhere i read online, that sypylis usually shows symptoms 3 weeks after, exposure. This has only been like exactly a week to the day. when i started getting sick. So hopefully its not that. Even though it could be somthing else????


Somehow i think i have strep, or a virus of somesort, there was a 20% chance, that the test could bewrong and i did feel a little better today. So im hopefull, thanks for the info. ill keep you posted.

Just a side note: Stop beating yourself up for having sex with someone! Sex in not dirty, it's a normal natural thing that we all do. It funny how men find sex great but women find sex to be dirty and embarrassing?

I'm sure the doctor will do STD tests to get to the bottom of this. Just use protection in the future...it's probably nothing and just maybe a good lesson to always be protected. Good Luck! ;)
