Chlamydia, Ghonnorhea and Yeast Infections?


I am a 22 year old male and have been with the same girl for over 10 months. Recently she started having what seems like a bad yeast infection. There is no odor but there is what looks like tiny pieces of rolled up toilet paper around her vagina and a lot of white discharge. We had sex a few times when this was less serious not knowing what that was. I now have a itching feeling in my urethra and a clear discharge. We have both been tested. She got results the same day she said and I am still waiting. Her results were negative. She still has what looks like a yeast infection over a week later. I have a few questions.

Can you get results for chlamydia and gonorrhea that quick for a woman?

If I test positive for one of these, what are the chances that it stayed dormant in one of our systems for 10 months?

I have no other color discharge than clear and sometimes it burns a little when I urinate. Are these typical signs of std's?

By the way both of us were given Zithromax and Suprex just in case there was something.
Monistat does not help her. In fact in makes it worse.
We have refrained from sex for over a week. A few days before we got tested
I am having no symptoms but the clear discharge and a little burning while urinating.

Does chlamydia and/or gonorrhea cause urinary track infections?


my girlfriend and i have had 5 UTI's within the past year.
we both CONSTANTLY have bad gas and have to shit about 2 times a day.

i have been tested for HIV so i know it's not that.
are these signs of chlamydia or gonorrhea? or maybe even herpes?

Anything you can tell me would be a help. Thanks alot.
Also after my last time having oral sex, I had a very bad sore throat for about a week, but never go sick.
----------

To answer your question, you may just be passing the UTI back and forth. It is a bacterial infection and won't go away if it is continualy passed like that. You should both get tested and get medicine for it, only way it will stop. (And make sure you're using condoms). Although, it could be due in part to a reaction to the latex.

Chlamydia is also caused by not using condoms, but it is easily treated. You're safest bet is to both get tested before it gets any worse.  (+ info)

Is it possible to get chlamydia without having a partnet with it?


I understand that Chlamydia is a bacterial infection that is spread through sex. Where does the bacteria come from? Is it possible to get a bacterial infection and spread it to your partner without originally getting it through sex?
----------

yeah, it can be trasmitted through non-sexual body fluids such as sweat, and it can come from anywhere, a friend uses a towel and you use it later, bacteria are pretty resilient, they can survive nearly anywhere  (+ info)

How long after you take pills for chlamydia can you try to conceive?


I took the 4 at one time chlamydia pills, how long do I have to wait until I will be cured of it and be able to conceive or have unprotected sex with birth control or sperm killing creme?

How long could I try to have unprotected sex if I had taken the 1 pill for 7 days pills?

Basically, how long until the medicine kills all the infection?
----------

Azithromycin is taken as a single dose, and doxycycline is taken twice a day for seven days. Research has shown that 80-90% of people with chlamydia are cured after taking one of these antibiotics. If you or your current partner is diagnosed with chlamydia, you should not have sex until at least a week after both of you have finished your course of the treatment.

How would you tell your bf that you have chlamydia?


we've been together for 4 years now and have a child together.when i was in my previous relationship i contracted chlamydia i have never told my bf about it.but when i was pregnant of course i had to get treated for it but i kept getting it back because we had unprotected sex and he didnt get treated because he doesnt know about it.how should i tell him after all this time?it is a bacterial infection isnt it?
----------

No matter how you tell him, he is going to be angry... and with good reason. However, chlamydia is about as good as it gets from an STD.

The key is to tell him before he manifests any symptoms. This part may not happen, but that doesn't mean this can wait forever. The more time that passes the more long-term effects the infection may have.

Were it me that needed to be told, I would prefer to have the seriousness of the situation framed up properly. I would not like to be surprised/blind-sided. Perhaps something like "I have something serious I need to talk to you about" on an average day (not when he is having a great day or a crummy day). Mention any shame you feel, "I'm sorry" should come out of your mouth more than once. You waited this long because you didn't know how to tell him... you still don't really know but that's okay in this case. It explains why this news came so late and will be a relief to him because at least it means you weren't cheating (though he is still going to be angry). Tell him how you were treated while you were pregnant so that his child is fine.

On another note, I don't think (were it me) that I'd want to hear "I love you" during this speech. Unless he makes a move to hug you or something, I wouldn't say 'I love you.'

Best of luck with this! I'm happy that you are finally telling him.  (+ info)

What are the chances that my treatment for Chlamydia didn't work?


I went into the gyno a little over a month ago for a yeast infection, long story short, I contracted chlamydia from my now ex. I was treated and haven't had intercourse since, I went back into the gyno for yet another yeast infection and she said it's too soon to retest that they like to wait awhile before they retest because it could still show positive. I was reading that it's possible that the treatment didn't work, is that true?
----------

It's possible. Depends how virulent the infection was and how strong the strain that infected you was. Could be that the strain was already exposed to your treating antibitotic already and has built up an immunity to it thus requiring a stronger antibitotic. That's normally the case these days especially when doctors are so into this whole "give 'em an antibitotic for whatever they got wrong with 'em" mentality these days. Worse case scenario, the doctor might not have sent your specimen to the lab to get a positive result and instead just went off of her assessment as to what the pathogen might be. In that case, the treatment is a hit or miss scenario and they'll eventually get it right.  (+ info)

What are the odds that my cervicitis was caused by chlamydia or gonorrhea?


i was recently diagnosed with cervicitis, because it take about 7 days for my STD test results to come back the doc treated me for chlamydia and gonorrhea. i also had a yeast infection, what are the odds that this cervicitis is was not caused by one of those two STD's? I also had sex with my BF what are the odds that he now has those std's?
----------

There is no way to answer this question. You will have to wait for the test results and then deal with the facts. If you have an STD, most can be treated with antibiotics and you are cured. And, if you have an STD, your boyfriend will also need to be treated at the tsame time but he also probably has an STD. Make sure you finish every single dose of any antibiotic that they give you and then get tested again after finishing the antibiotics to make sure the infection is cleared up.  (+ info)
