Week-9 New Symptoms - Swollen Lymph Nodes Right hand side of my lower neck and on both armpits, Erythrocytes, Mucus in Urine,Red shiny Penis

[Josh92]

Dear All,

I'm 27 years old single male uncircumcised had potential exposure am not sure if the condom broke while I had sex with CSW - vaginal and oral both protected.

Its been 9 weeks exactly and here's the quick overview of my current and past symptoms till date: (If you would like to refer the old post in detailed then kindly refer to link in the end of this message)

From Week 8 to 9 New Symptoms: Swollen Lymph Nodes Right hand side of my lower neck (to be more precise I see a nerve little swollen with a bulge in middle that is painful upon gently pressing) and on both armpits, Ear ache, tinnitus with complimentary headache.

** Erythrocytes,Mucus in my Urine - my urine was Dark from the day of exposure till date, it has strong odor at times - Urine culture that was done in Aug (Microscopic Hematuria) and this month Sep they have found below in Urine Analysis:

Erythrocytes 0.3 mg/L Expected - Negative, Result - Abnormal found erythrocytes

Mucus in Urine - Traces Expected - Negative, Result - Abnormal

Symptoms that persisted from past weeks are - Dark Urine, my penile head is red shiny with wrinkles feels very tender, whitish very little stuff not sure if its HPV (FYI - I take shower two times a day and have kept my penis clean at all times), I applied over the counter cream Clotrimazole for over 4 weeks (from week -3 to week-7 but there's no improvement as Doc' think its Fungi-yeast thing) I've switched multiple priv clinics and been ripped off $$$ -I haven't been applying any cream from past 2 weeks as the recent Doc said just leave it and also recommended to have sugary stuff saying - Don't Live Life in Fear, seriously??, Congestion in chest (difficulty in breathing lately), random fever, body feels hot but Thermometer doesn't seem to detecting the fever may be?

After dealing with my mind with ongoing stress - I finally decided to take STD's test:

**Hiv, hepatitis B, syphilis,chylamadia, Gonorrhoea at 7.5 Weeks - Negative was Elisa 4th Generation Duo Test. This is my only test that I've taken so far wasn't easy to have the courage to undergo these test. I have read some posts they suggested Elisa 4th Gen has very high rate of False Negatives and recommended rapid Test finger prick. For this Elisa 4th Gen Duo test - Nurse she drawn blood and it took 5 days to get the results. As I just had one single test so this fear has added more anxiety driving me take rapid finder prick test.

Regardless of the test, I would like to

- thank you all members of this forum including stuff especially Hidden Hidden Wiza who have encouraged me in getting tested and for their unconditional support.

As the Window Test period is 6 months (from what I gather through these multiple clinic's Family Doc)- I think my body has reacted and SeroConv is in action - ARS Symptoms no clue..?

I have never had any sexual activity, this was very first time and I know I have committed a mistake that would devastate my life, BTW- this guilt and shame are killing me each day trust me - I have not been the same person from past 2 months. I feel lost.

Few things from my recent doc - at third clinic suggested that after Urine culture didn't find any bacteria he said it could be trichomoniasis and said he could put me on Antibiotics. However, I am thinking to seek a Urologist or Infectious Disease Specialist having hard time find appointments..

(detailed symptoms can be found in my old post here's the URL:healthunlocked.com/mensheal...

I have attached my penis condition and could acts as reference for others and may receive advise as well:

thank you all and dear Middleagedbloke and compton895 I really appreciate you guys for taking time to answer me everytime being humble. I sincerely appreciate - greatest respect for your contribution to this forum.

Please look after yourself be healthy and happy.

From what you say it sounds very much like this is stress related. Give yourself a break. Things happen you do not need to be ashamed or punish yourself for seeing a 'csw'.

Good luck

Hi, Josh.

Thanks for your kind comment in your last post.

Goldie11 gives sound advice and I have to agree that if your doctors have examined your test results and found nothing untoward, then maybe you are worrying unnecessarily. That said, you know your body better than anyone else. For example, have you shown your GP your swollen lymph glands and expressed concern about the appearance of your penis? It sounds to me that your concerns aren't always being seriously taken on board. You clearly need more reassurance that almost certainly all is well with you.

It did strike me as rather odd that any doctor would encourage you - or anyone else - to consume sugary foods and drinks. Keep off them as much as possible, would have been more sensible advice I would have thought.

You say that you feel guilt and shame about visiting a CSW, but what has happened has happened and I very much doubt that a one-off encounter will in reality devastate your life to the extent you imagine. It would be lovely to think that once you can put this episode behind you once and for all, you'll meet a great girl, develop a deep relationship and then sex will be a natural and joyous outcome of your love and commitment to each other. There is no reason whatsoever why that shouldn't be the case.

Take care, and all the very best.

[Josh92]

Thank you Hidden Hidden jaglad

Hope you all are doing very well and having a good week so far.

I will be completing 11 weeks tomorrow (Saturday) and next week is the decider.

I have been reading about how duo test can turn out to be a false negative as I had test at 7.5 weeks when p24 antigen disappears. Some posts had conversations about late serco converters. Everyone takes 2-3 tests by 7-8 weeks in comparison I've just had one test at 7.5 weeks so this feeling of false negative duo test has taken over my mind.

As Compton said my words aren't being taken seriously. Honestly I am running out of money have spent almost 1500$ so far by going to multiple doctors.

penis head now has three deep cracks (or cuts don't know) no blood no itching nor tingling/burning sensation.

I feel I am really going mad don't about any other thing. However, am trying to stand strong the fear sometimes is winning over my confidence/optimism.

I will be taking my test on Sunday next week as it will be 84 days (12 weeks) post exposure. (Swollen lymph node on right hand side of next is still there)

Lonely life but what can I say - time is irreversible.

I'll keep you all posted. My sincere and heartful thanks to you all, also to Hidden who have been kind to me replying my previous posts.

Stay healthy all and keep yourself protected.

Josh

Hi All,

Hope you'll are doing well and in good health.

Thank you for the follow up message by everyone.

I have now completed 3 months and is the right time to get tested for all STD's including HIV..

but some variables popped in and I am not confident to go test at the centre.

i) My Penis head has become more sorer, flaky, shiny, I now see some black spots which I often try to peel off in the morning on my glans (head). Skin looks a bit yellowish sometime just penis head on the sides.

ii) Also, just below the head near the ring - there are some whitish layers which I keep try removing every morning - learnt that they are Pearly penile papules not sure if that's is it or something alarming..

iii) I have been having severe cold running nose, cough from past two weeks - chest congestion.

iv) ***Important thing that I would like to highlight is trust me, I have measured the amount of water in take its been over 4-5 liters everyday and yet urine is still dark Yellow, continue to have pain stinging in pee hole feels like shock and burns sometimes. Random pains in testicles and my anus - Not very frequent.

I have not been vaccinated for anything till date. I should also consider taking Hep A, Hep B and Hep C all the tests once again to rule out Jaundice/liver test as Hep A and B contribute to some extent in darker urine.

**To my sexual fantasies last week, Ive added more to my ongoing horror experience:

=>I have had UNPROTECTED HAND JOB at a Massotherapy well with ongoing stress, I learnt that I shouldn't have sex until atleast 1-2 year till I get a clear flag and as this place is a licensed and she was a member. I thought there wouldn't be any harm to say yes when she asked although she full dressed at the beginning while at the end to give my hand job she was nude for about 5 minutes. I did ejaculate...

And right after coming back home, I looked for risk at Hand Job and found pretty much anything can be acquired through handjob including HIV and deadly Herpes..

More reason to worry is my Penis is sore and and shows some deep cuts no blood kinda like cracks..

I am shattered and not been able to focus on anything, I lost my job too - my fingers they are shivering more than they used to be. I have had this problem for long time - I can't type at a regular speed as others even this post reply has took about 2 hours for me as my hands shiver and creates difficulty in typing, holding glass of water, texting on phone and so on.

BTW, with my this second act of having Unprotected hand job makes me feel I am not worth any more of asking questions or seek help. In that moment, when I was asked about it as its a licensed place I said yes, but clearly I learnt about with whom to have sex and importance.

I am sorry for the long message.

Thank you very much indeed everyone Middleagedbloke, compton895, Jaglad, Goldie and SaiKumarr

Hi Everyone,

Hope you'll are doing good and healthy.

I wanted to share few things about my current health status to seek your advise. I have had my second test for STDS - Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, HIV, Syphilis (VRLD), Hep C and Hep B during Nov second week. This was second HIV Test after 104 days after exp (disregarding the HJ in OCT). SO, STD's at 55 and 104 were negative. However, my Urine is still "Dark Yellow" and 4 consecutive Urine analysis tests reported "Blood". The doctor was so ignorant that she didn't even go through my reports and said I can go home but thank god - I took a printed copies of the last 4 reports highlighting the anomalies she then realized and said OK as we have 4 consecutive reports after your last exposure - Its good to have a Urologist involved as she was a family doc. And my appointment has no time line may take 5-8 months to meet the specialist - The Bitter Truth.

The Lab missed out on testing me for Hep A - I am concerned about Liver may be I should I reach out someone who could check me for Liver, Jaundice situation and Kidneys.. My Penis still stings and shocks exactly at my pee hole. So, here I am guys feeling fatigue, low grade fever, body aches - shoulders, joint pains, headache, Dark Urine with Blood.. Hope my Thyroid issue is not getting too involved in all this..

My sincere thanks to each and everyone for checking on me.

Goos luck your safe and pray... but dont play to much.. urine infection can be treated without any issues.

Best regards frm india.

[Saikumarr in reply to Josh92]

Check for prostrate scanning. Earlier detection would be better for treatment

[Ryanr in reply to Josh92]

Hi josh it sounds like your having a shit time of it I’ve just read your thread, I couldn’t begin to imagine what you are going through I think the system fails a lot of people for not giving a shit but getting on the waiting list to see a urologist is great news you should have been referred straight away giving your symptoms. Soon you will be in good hands, diagnosed, treated and on you way to recovery 👍

[Josh92]

Thank you for taking time to read through and sharing your thoughts. Much appreciated Ryanr , here is my current situation: healthunlocked.com/mensheal...

[Josh92]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to share my about my health status with you all - as it has been quite sometime - well, its been one year and new things are being diagnosed every now and then. Recently being the H Pyrlori infection. I have been given a regimen combo therapy which involves taking 10 pills in-addition to my auto-immune pills. In total I take 12 Pills each day. Some of the pills are really getting on my nerves such as Amoxicillin 500 mg * 4 times = 2000 mg and others with 500 mg * 8. I don't know the consequences but one thing that I clearly feel is really bad energy inside, burning, sweating heavily and bad dreams. I feel ashamed of my acts I don't know if I got it from previous acts.

Wish you all a good health.

Josh
