Hi Terry,
Existing customer here–thanks for everything.
I’ve explained my “exposure” to you in person but understated one thing. Along with fingering a woman and having her grind her wet vagina on my thigh, I also later spit into my hand and masturbated my own penis briefly, possibly transfering her oral bacteria (we had kissed) or vaginal bacteria (from fingering) to my penis/urethra.
I’ve tested for all standard STDs at 8 and 12 weeks and come out negative–all conclusive except for herpes, which is about 90 percent seroconversion rate and only gets to 97 at 16 weeks.
I have tested negative for trich (9 weeks) and will get mycoplasma genitalium results tomorrow (private test).
1. You have told me before I had no risk. Does this additional exposure (via my hand) present a risk or am I just being crazy again?
2. Also, assuming I come back negative on MG test tomorrow, and with my history of clean urine dipstick tests, urinalyses, urethra swab with you, and urine culture with you, is that pretty conclusive I had no other forms of NGU, or does that stuff avoid detection in the ways I just described (plus lack of urinary discomfort, discharge, urinary frequency).
3. I got a new coin-sized rash at high-inner thigh, near scrotum today (of course, it’s 100 degrees out) and scrotum is red on sides with white line through middle. Sound like anything? I’m going with the “it’s hot and fungal” explanation and put a fungicide on again. Other “pain” symptoms persist, especially right inguinal.
Thanks.

I know exactly who are you and can picture your face precisely as I type to you.

No, it changes nothing

I think you can be clear that you don’t have NGU. Every possible test has been done that could be done.

This looks and sounds like a fungal infection to me. When you treat with the antifungal medicine, be certain to treat twice a day for at least two weeks. We are seeing so much fungi in these hot summer days.
The western blot at 16 weeks is perfect.
How about if you try to let this go, just for the weekend and celebrate the 4th of July?

Yes, yes antifungal on the scrotum, for sure!
Usually the fungal infection that men have is not transmitted to their female partner but the reverse happens pretty often. I can’t tell you that transmission to her is impossible but it is really unlikely and it if was transmitted to her, I would not really consider that an STD though technically it is but not in the sense that you are concerned about.you have a good holiday, too.
This was your final post on this subscription. If you have more questions feel free to renew.

So do you feel like it is worse since you put on the antifungals? If yes, then perhaps it is a sensitivity reaction to the medication.

Well, whether it is a reaction to the antifungal or a fungal infection, neither is an STD.

It looks like a pimple, but how about you come in and see me this afternoon and I’ll swab test it for you?

You did NOT get HSV 1 from that encounter. But you could have HSV 1 already and the screening test missed it, yes.
I’m not sure about the cost of the bacterial culture but the PCR for herpes is $75. I would like to swab for both bacteria and herpes IF it looks anything like herpes when I see you. I just can’t tell from the picture. Yes, you need an appointment but I just this minute had a cancellation this afternoon if you want to come in. We an also do a herpes western blot if you are still concerned about it missing HSV 1, but we won’t do it to rule out HSV 1 from the encounter we have been discussion because I do not believe that that encounter put you at any risk.Terri

I don’t know – you should call the office – they just texted me that someone had canceled.
