Saw that a new oral antibiotic for gonorrhoea was approved, the first new one in decades. I would much rather take something than have another injection.…
Itching badly, worse in bed, and I cannot see anything obvious. Everything I read describes both and I cannot tell them apart.
Read that a twice yearly injectable prevention option was approved. Daily tablets have not worked well for me. Is this something I could realistically get?
Started the course and the leaflet mentions sun sensitivity. I work outdoors. Is this a mild warning or a real one?
Two small flesh coloured bumps. They could be anything. I have been looking at pictures online for three weeks, which has helped nobody.
Got my results back, all negative, felt enormous relief. Then I looked at the paperwork properly and it lists four infections. I had assumed a screen…
Diagnosed with both. Am I being treated twice for the same thing, since it looks like the same drug?
I get a tingling and a heavy feeling in my thigh a day before anything appears. Sounds like something I could easily be imagining into existence.
Treated last year. Told one of my tests will be positive for life. What do I say when a future doctor sees it and reacts?
Offered a cream to use at home or appointments to have them treated in clinic. No strong steer either way and I cannot work out how…
I am HPV positive. He wants to get tested and I cannot find anywhere that offers it.
Offered a self collected sample instead of the usual appointment. Convenient, but is it as reliable?
Found out through a blood test, not through symptoms. Never had anything appear. It feels strange to disclose something I have never experienced.
One page says months, another says two years, another implies forever. I have a high risk type and normal cells and I would like one straight…
Newly diagnosed and my first results are two numbers I do not understand. Everyone talks about them as if they are obvious.
Nothing moving that I can see, but there are still small pale things stuck to the hairs. Has the treatment failed?
Positive for both. Given an injection and a course of tablets. Is that two treatments or one treatment split up?
Tested at a community outreach service with a fingerprick. Negative. Should I repeat it properly at a clinic?
Treated for chlamydia two weeks ago. A friend says get retested straight away to check it worked, the clinic told me to come back in three…
Half of what I read says wash everything on the hottest setting and half says it barely matters because they don't survive off a person for…
Diagnosed a fortnight ago, treated. Vision in one eye has gone blurry over the last two days.
Picked up on testing while pregnant. Reading has thrown up all sorts of things about pregnancy outcomes and I would like something calmer.
Been offered PrEP and told there is a daily option and an on demand option. Not sure how to think about the choice.
My smear result mentioned trichomonas. I did not think that test was looking for infections.
Clinic mentioned they might be able to give me treatment to pass on to my partner without him coming in. That sounded unusual enough that I…
