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.…
I cannot face a week of tablets that make me feel awful. Someone mentioned there are other single dose options.
Diagnosed eight months ago. Something has appeared that does not look like what I had the first time, and I cannot tell whether this is my…
Itching badly, worse in bed, and I cannot see anything obvious. Everything I read describes both and I cannot tell them apart.
There is now a kit you can use at home and post back. I have avoided screening for years because of the examination. Is this a…
Every page I read says something different. Once a year, every three months, only when you change partner. I want a rule I can actually follow…
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?
Diagnosed this week. Told the injection is in short supply and offered a course of tablets instead. Am I getting a second rate treatment because of…
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…
First instinct was to shave. A friend says that does nothing and makes the skin worse.
Everything else I have ever had was tablets. This one involved a needle in the backside and nobody explained why.
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.
Result says high risk HPV detected, cytology normal, come back in a year. I do not understand what I am waiting for.
Undetectable for four years on tablets. Clinic mentioned injectable treatment every two months. Tempted, but nervous about giving up something that works.
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?
Diagnosed and treated last month. I am not trying for a baby yet but I want to know whether I have damaged something permanently.
Trying to work out who to be upset with and I suspect the answer is nobody, but I would like to understand the timing.
Given a course and told absolutely no alcohol, including for days afterwards. A pharmacist friend says the interaction is largely a myth. Who is right?
Appointment is booked and the timing has turned out badly. Do I need to move it, or does it not matter?
Treated this afternoon, and by evening I had chills, a headache and felt like I had flu. Is this an allergic reaction? Should I be going…
Partner has nothing and no itching at all, but I have been diagnosed. Does that mean it did not come from them?
Blood test, positive for HSV-2, and there is a number next to it that is only just above the cutoff. No symptoms ever. The nurse said…
