757neg4poz Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Three weeks ago, I had a red bump on my dick. The Monday before last, my eyelashs had become ingrown which was later discovered to be due to conjunctivitis of the eye. I later noticed my first sexual partner had suddenly become very ill with some weird neurological issues since we last met up, so I went to the doctor almost immediately to get a full STD panel. Today, I was told I may or may not have syphilis based on the screening they did: my initial test was negative, but a confirmatory test was done for some reason and it was reactive... TL;DR: I'm hoping it's a false positive, but can syphilis be treated with just a single penicillin shot in the ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibearbtm Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I had three shots in the ass a week apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowfuck Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Sorry to hear about your scare. Hopefully it's all ok but unless it's late stage syphillis which is unlikely if you recently saw the bump and that wasn't just a coincidence, then yes, a penicillin shot should sort it out. Hoping for the best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757neg4poz Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Saw my GP. Asked to get a penicillin shot. Turns out my Medicaid plan requires a prior authorization for it. Pfft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaguy Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Saw my GP. Asked to get a penicillin shot. Turns out my Medicaid plan requires a prior authorization for it. Pfft. Did you have your doctor submit the prior authorization request? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
757neg4poz Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Yeah and the insurance rejected it because it's "not on the formulary." I had to go to the public health department for treatment, and the clinic there said based on my results it was late latent syphilis. I've gotten tested every year so it was a shock to me! I've been having mono-like symptoms though lately... I wonder if it could be HIV? I've been tested for mono and strep throat and had my flu shot. I've had a negative HIV test at eight weeks after a possible exposure, although I played with a guy since then unprotected when I was on PrEP for a week.

curiousaboutbb Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Did your doc not do a full STI panel before putting you on PrEP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest pozarnoldPGH Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 NGU.... maybe ? the reality is, as human beings.... an organic living entity.... We are walking petri dishes..... IF it has your mind twisted, then consider your personal value system...... perhaps multiple changes are called for. Above all else, BANISH shame, it has power ONLY IF YOU ALLOW IT TO.
