Used to always be too scared when I was younger to go for an sti test even though I knowingly fucked hiv poz men bareback I guess I liked the thought of it more than reality. Went for the test eventually after my bf who was also poz made me as I started to get ill (really bad shingles) turns out my cd4 was very low and high viral load so I’d had it for quite a while. Tested positive for chlamydia at the same time which I had to take 2 weeks worth of antibiotics for, and it turned out at some point I’d had Hep B but my body had got rid of it on its own. Since then caught syphilis, which was not fun in the slightest. Had rash on my arms and torso, really bad aches, fatigue, no sex drive, plus the bf had a sore on his dick so we couldn’t fuck for weeks. Why anybody would chase syph is beyond me.
