i am hoping and praying that this is gohorehha or clahmydia...im trying to narrow down the symptoms i have so far

white puss coming from penis
mucous in stool(feces)
vomiting


so far ive been googling like a mad man and these symptoms seem to point in the direction of gonorehha.

but just to be on the safe side, a penis discharge ISNT a hiv/aids symptom is it?!?!!

i cant wait to go to the clinic tuesday. i need peace of mind..never had a std before and i am losing my mind, i cant even sleep!!

It sounds like another STD and not HIV. Symptoms of early HIV infection are flu like symptoms in the first 4 weeks or so , not discharge from the penis.

thanks for the reply. im hoping i have a std and not the beast.

but is it possible to inherit both(std and aids) at the same time?

Yes its possible but you didn't say what your risky behaviour was so Its hard for the people here to give you advice on that without more info. I am no expert I just seen your post unanswered and tried to give you what I have read on many a webpage over the past 2 weeks or more. Did you go to the clinic?

Yeah, as Lutheran has said, we need to know your exposure.

But, penis discharge isn't a typical symptom of HIV. Sometimes HIV has no symptoms...sometimes it mimicks other diseases. There's no way to determine an HIV status based on symptoms alone.

i had unprotected sex with a female like 3 times in one night. it was oral/vaginal

i think i noticed some white creamy goo in the vaginal area, but i thought i was cum so i moved on.(big mistake :()

also, im also noticing that my feces have a mucous coating around them....i think that was another symptom for gonoreah.

but you guys are saying that a penis dischard isnt a typical hiv symptom right? i know hiv really has no symptoms but a penis discharge is pointing in a another direction right?

i am so freaking out right now!! :(

I'm sorry you are going throught this, but yes, I don't think penis discharge is a typical symptom of HIV. I read a bit about gonorrhea and it seems that symptoms appear 2 to 30 days after infection (though some guys show no symptoms). Sympoms include burning during urination and discharge. I'm not sure about other STDs, but maybe this could be what you have.

P.S. Keep in mind that it is more difficult for a man to contract HIV from a woman. It's more difficult than say a woman getting it from a man or a man getting it from a man. This is because the exchange of fluids during sex is minimal from a woman to a man. So, you have a lot of things in your favor in this situation.

We're here for you.

God bless,
Cali

i think i noticed some white creamy goo in the vaginal area, but i thought i was cum so i moved on.(big mistake :()

I just thought of something else - could she have had a yeast infection? "white creamy goo" could have been yeast.

yeah i heard it is hard for a female to transmit to a male....

i dont have any cuts or anything on my penis, thank god.

i heard if you dont have any cuts on there, its kinda hard to transmit the virus through the uretha hole.


the girl she said she tested neg for hiv three months ago, dont know if i trust her though.

thank you guys for your support

The symptoms you are describing are, in no way, consistent with HIV. (However, I ma here to tell you that becuase there are no specific symptoms for HIV, you should be tested in the event that you were exposed to HIV. Get it? So, it is possible that you were exposed but these symptoms are not related to HIV.) The symptoms you have described may be consistent with gonorrhea (usually the discharge is yellow) or a urinary tract infection or possibly yeast.

However, you need to be tested in any event....

Oh, and stop referring to HIV as "the beast". Those of us who are HIV+ have learned to live and be productive with 'the beast'.

dude im sorry if i offended you or anyone else on this board. You guys are great...i really needed someone to talk to in this crisis.

Are you HIV+ by the way? if so what were your specific symptoms out of curiosity?

And i will definately be getting tested tuesday. I dont care if i have to call off work to do it either..

Jason: thanks for your reply...and I appreciate your sensitivity. It is an interesting concept to think of it as the "beast" and I apologize for being hypersentive.

The really insidious aspect of this disease is that most people don't have any warnings. Symptoms, therefore, don't define the disease and you'll really only know by a blood test. As I said, your symptoms are not like anything that I would associate with HIV.

As for me? No, symptoms. Never! I found out after a blood test (based upon risky behaviors) 12 yrs ago. I've been healthy since then with a fluctuating T-cell count but a viral load that has always been undetectible.

Let me know if you have additional questions. I want to be straight about this but it's hard to anticipate what questions you may have. chris

hey, i just talked to the girl, she said she had unprotected sex with her ex around thanksgiving then got tested for hiv and everything like two weeks later...

she said she came out neg though, but how accurate is two weeks after?

2 weeks is not accurate , 13 weeks is definitive although a test after 6 weeks is a pretty good indicator if you can't wait.

but yeah, is it possible to get gono and hiv at the same time??!

at this point im pretty sure i got gono.....i mean white mucous coming out of omy penis isnt something i ever experienced before.

gono, i dont care about, just give me a pill, shot whatever goodbye, im more concerned with hiv.

I'm pretty sure you can catch anything anytime regardless.

STDs are so wonderfully non-discriminating! I mean, you can catch gonorrhea, HIV, crabs all at the same time. And, each has it's own set of tests and each it's own set of treatments. However, while you have mentioned more than once the white discharge, you haven't mentioned anything about buring or itching which are the other symptoms for gonorrhea.

just got back from the clinic....get hiv results back in two weeks.


i was diagnosed with NGU(non-gonococcal urethritus) meaning that its not likely gonorehha.

so im guessing that its clahmydia....they gave me pills to take with it too.

the hiv test, probably wont be accurate seeing that the last time i had sex was 2-11-06, so if its negative ill go back in may just to make 100% sure.

non-gonoccal urethritis is teh same thing as non-specific urethritis. IT doesn't mean it clammydia. You could have a simple urinary tract infection and the medication given probably was an antibiotic. Physicians don't make diagnoses like that: "it doesn't look like gonorrhea so it must be clamydia." That's like saying "it doesn't seems like the flu do it's probably cancer." You seem to be getting way too much drama out of this situation....chris

oh god please..

tonight i just caught a bad night sweat...i wake up in the morning and there was a noticiable amount of sweat on my chest...

spooked the hell outta me....what sucks is that even if my results are negative, i gotta wait all the way until may to take it again to make sure.

the stupid girl i dealt with, feels insulted, shes not even talking to me anymore.

god i wish i never did anything...after this incident i dont even think i wanna have sex anymore, period.

Jason,
I have read through most of this entire thread, so forgive me if this is a repeat of what has been said by other members.

A one time high risk exposure to HIV carries a 1/500 to a 1/8000 chance of transmission. This statement is meant to reflect that the partner that you were with WOULD HAVE TO BE HIV+ in order for you to be at risk. Because you can't be sure of her status, even if you assume she is positive you have better odds at winning the lottery than contracting HIV.

the fact that you have a discharge does not mean anything except that you have a discharge from a bacterial or viral source. Now, just because I said the word VIRAL does not mean HIV. there are millions of bacteria and viral antibodies out there, the flu, the common cold, bacterial vaginosis, yeast, other STD's ect.... you did the right thing by being tested and i see that you understand you need a 90 window to be sure. that being said, please take a moment to realize that these other symptoms that seem to be "popping" up are most likely from stress and anxiety. We as humans are so silly; we will assume the worst and take it as gospel, but we can't seem to accept the most simplistic answer to any of our problems.

The way I see it at this point is this;
You can drive yourself into the funny farm by slowly killing your mind with this obsessive thought of HIV infection OR you can realize that the chance that you are negative FAR outweighs the odds of being positive. You can take stock in your life and change what you want to, or you can curl up into a ball and implode inward with what if's. No one on this planet will make it out of here alive. Live in the here and now, let all of this go. Remember, not only to we have a choice to be happy, we also choose to be miserable.

Wishing you much happiness always..

thanks for your message...is it really true that the odds of catching hiv is so low?

that really gave me hope.

yes it is true.

it depends on viral load and other varients, but yes, 1/500-1/8000 chance.

i took for some arithzomax for the infection i had, but i still appear to be discharging.

the only difference is that its not white and mucuos like its clear. i can still see spots in my underwear from the discharge.

i also had another night sweat last night, which is freaking me out.

i get my results back tommorow. but im going to call today to find out whats going on with the discharge.

this is so nerve-wrecking. i hope to never put myself in this position again!

ah man oh man...

as if im not already scared out of my wits,

i also found blood in my stool today...

now i dont think its a hiv symptom cause i searched the net and it didnt come up.

i am however taking the acne drug "accutane" which is know to cause bloody stools sometimes. hopefully it didnt cause much damage.

i will be stopping accutane as of today.

god, this has to be the craziest year of my life. i am definately a changed person after this experience!

i'm not an expert, by far, but if blood in stool is listed as a common side effect for accutane, then don't stop taking it... it was perscribed for a reason, and that is that the positive effects outweighed the negative ones. As far as i know that is not even remotely related to any symptom of HIV and even if it was you're no closer to being able to come to the conclusion that you are HIV +. So relax, and if you're worried about your stool, tackle that as an individual problem- not a problem that could be related to hiv because it's not.
Even if it;s completely unrelated to the accutane, there are explanations for it as well.
Don't put your life on hold, i know thats much easier said than done, believe me i'm going through it as well, but above all- stop searching online. I guarantee you're going to be able to find more and more symptoms that you may have that may be related to hiv because the reality is that everyone has similar symptoms at various points in their lives, and symptoms mean NOTHING!!

stop searching online.


lol, yeah tell me about it...

the very first time i searched online was the worst day ever...i have never been so scared in my life..i consider myself as a tough person, but i was brought to tears. i had panic attacks , shivers didnt sleep for the whole night.

i get my results back tommorow and i know i have to wait until may (3months) to be 100% sure...its going to be hell waiting that long....

i had a good throw up session today in the shower. plus i have had excessive diarehha.

both vomiting and diarehha are hiv symptoms as well as accutane side effects.

i am stopping the accutane and going to see the doc.

i will also get the hiv test results today as well.

im pretty sure alot of the things i have been experiencing are accutane side effects, but it just kinda freaks me out that it happens so coincidently. im experiecing all this crazy stuff conviently after i had unprotected sex. the timing of it all is whats freaking me out.

jason,
so sorry that you are still having a hard time. it really sounds to me that you are having severe anxiety and panic. I would talk to the doctor about that as well. There are some great meds to help calm that engine down of yours without making you feel numb. xanax worked wonders for me. The other point I wanted to make is that allthough some of the things you are experiencing can be listed as HIV symptoms, they are also symptoms for pretty much everything, anxiety is right up there on the top of the list.

HIV does not make you so sick so fast. It takes a long time for the virus to weaken the immune system and actually cause you to be sick. ARS- the inital infection can be a mild case of not feeling so hot to being down and out for a couple of days+, or you can have no symptoms at all. Just because you are having some health issues after your questionable exposure does not mean that you can start digging your grave.

I am willing to bet that most if not ALL of your health issues is caused by your anxiety and if you don't get that in check, it will cause you some serious problems in your life, more so than the tiny tiny threat of HIV.

You have got to ge a hold of yourself. Please talk to your doctor about your anxiety, if that goes away, you might actually get over this thing!

okay, heres the deal.

theres actually a intestinal virus going around and it seems ive been hit by it...

my mother was first, then me, and now my father is throwing up.

it appears my mother got it from a friend and brought it back to us.

whew!

well i called for my test results and they said they couldnt tell me if i had h.i.v over the phone, but they did say i tested positive for Chlamydia.

Im glad its curable. I will go back to the clinic on mon to get some medication for it.

okay guys its me again.


everthing seems to be going well, i recovered from this horrible stomach flu(i wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy, lol)



i guess the only thing still bothering me is sweating at night.

it doesnt necessarily happen every night, but it seems to happen every other night. my room is not hot or anything. i wake up and my shirt is damp around the collar. its a little sleveless shirt too.

this is the biggest thing thats freaking me out guys.


i appreciate all the help by everyone so far in this, but can someone please suggest to me what this is?

got my results today and they were negative.

the thing is the test was taken barely two weeks after exposure so i know its not 100%.

the real relief will come 3 months from now.

thank you guys for all your help and support thus far though.

well what do you know, its 3 months later and i am negative!!!!!!!!


i did one of those home test things and they are said to be 99.9% accurate.

I FEEL REBORN, I FEEL LIKE A NEW PERSON . THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


so is 4 months from possible exposure accurate enough?

man those were four months of hell that for sure. i thought everything that happend to me was a hiv symptom...i had chlamydia and i thought it was hiv, i coughed hard and i thought it was hiv, something got sore and i thought it was hiv..

the paranoia can drive you insane!!!! this post shows just how ignorant some of us are. alot of us think hiv is the only thing we can get from unprotected sex but there is a milion and one other things you can get too. its always best to strap up if it isnt a serious relationship!!!!!

im going to get tested again in october though just to make 100% sure!

if youre in doubt about getting tested, go do it!!! it feels so good when you get that result!

Jason, congrats buddy!! I can feel the joy through your words. :)
