No symptoms, no particular incident I am worried about, but I have had a few partners this year. Friend says routine testing is pointless without symptoms.…
Treated a week ago. I have gone over everything in good light and I cannot find anything moving, though there are still things attached to the…
I get cold sores. Someone told me I could transfer it to myself and now I am paranoid about touching my own face.
Read that trichomoniasis makes HIV more likely and could not tell whether that was a real finding or scaremongering.
Newly diagnosed and my first results are two numbers I do not understand. Everyone talks about them as if they are obvious.
Result came back marked reactive and I have been staring at that word for an hour trying to work out whether it means positive or not.
Had a couple before, now pregnant and they have multiplied noticeably. Is that a coincidence?
Two rounds of the same over the counter treatment, applied properly, and I am still finding live ones. Do these things stop working?
About to start treatment and I would rather know the real number now than be blindsided later. Everything I read says recurrence is common without saying…
Had a sore, went in, they swabbed it, negative. I am relieved but not convinced, because it healed the way everything I have read describes. Can…
We were both treated, same week, same prescription. Now I am reading about couples reinfecting each other in a loop and I cannot work out whether…
My partner has been on treatment for a few years and is undetectable. He has explained U=U to me and I believe him, but I notice…
Had the injection, and the site has been aching and hard for several days. Normal or worth going back?
I have been given a diagnosis and the clinic asked how far back my partners go. I have two people from the last few months. One…
Started PrEP a couple of months ago. A friend says condoms are now optional, which does not sound right to me but I could not explain…
Third freezing session and new ones have appeared each time about a fortnight later. It is starting to feel pointless and the appointments are wearing me…
High risk type detected. I understand the connection to cancer exists but I cannot tell whether I am being sensible or hysterical.
Two rounds of treatment a week apart and I am still itching. I cannot tell any more whether I still have them or whether I am…
Diagnosed and asked how far back my partners go. I gave the recent ones and then realised I did not know what period they actually needed.
Months of symptoms, three rounds of thrush treatment that did nothing, and it turned out to be trichomoniasis. I'm relieved to have an answer and quietly…
Went in for a routine check, asked for all sites to be swabbed because a friend told me to, and the throat one came back positive.…
I am about a week into what the clinic swabbed and confirmed as a first episode. I could not sit down properly for three days and…
Told this repeatedly in year one. I would like to hear from people further along than that.
Nausea within about twenty minutes of each dose. Four days to go and I am dreading each one.
