Hopefully someone will have some thoughts on what I should do next - please. I am 25 years old... About 5 years ago a girl, I did not know very well (stupid!), gave me oral. After, I noticed there was a small cut on the tip of my penis... must have been caused by her teeth? Obviously this was a direct opening for her saliva to my bloodstream. When I woke up the next day and urinated there was a hesitation and what seemed to be puss came out before urine. I knew I was in trouble! I went to the doctor and he put me on Doxycycline for a week which seemed to help but still had some discomfort in the urethrea and testicles. Went to a urologist and he checked the prostate and the sample showed I had an infection. More antibiotics - doxycycline which helped, but after the medicine there was still discomfort. Went to another doctor and they did all the std test, even a urethra culture - all came back negative. He put me on Amoxicillin. After the medicine, my symptoms got worse - still discomfort in the urethra and testicles, muscle burining, light headed, joint pain, and very painful to sit. The new doctor said is was in head - which is totally crazy. Went to another doctor who put me on Cipro 750mg for 1 month - CIPRO helped me greatly but after the meds I still had the same problems as above. He referred me to another urologist - 1st visit he could not get a sample from the prostate... I thought well that should tell you something Dr. - but he thought I was fine -- too young for prostititus! Went back a week later, tried another sample and got one... he said you do have an infection... and put me on Cipro for a month and told me not to sit so much and take warm bath. After the medicine, symptoms came back... Lived with my pain for a couple years. During this time I had a rash develop on about 1/2 my body, which would have been all over if I didn't go to the Dr. He said no big deal and put me on steroids which made it go away.

I was seeing a girl during this time and had close oral contact with her breast. About a week later a boil appeared on her nipple - she had to get it drained. She then started to have UTI symptoms (we never had intercourse) and went to the dr and got doxy - which helped... but her symptoms came back... she had severe cramps during her period. Dr performed tests and said she was fine no - std. I am afraid I may have infected her? We broke up and I moved on. The next girl I dated had a IUD so eventually we had unprotected sex. A week later she came down with a UTI - went to the doctor and couldn't find anything wrong with her. Put her on Cirpo which helped but after symptoms came back. No discharge - just pain and cramps. Again I thought I may have been to blame so I went to the doctor... he did all the STD test... all came back negative. He put me on Levaquin 500mg for 1 month - this was the best drug so far... I thought this was the magic bullet... but after my medicine, symptoms came back. I went back to the doc and had him do a physical. He took blood and did an analysis - the results were in and he said you are one very health person... I was like are you kidding me? He said you have back problems and if it continues he was going to refer me to a back specialist. I know this is not back related! I really think this is all related to the encounter I had 5 years ago with that girl who gave me oral - in fact I KNOW IT IS!!

What could be in saliva that could be causing my symptoms and allowing me to pass it on to my partners, while doctors cannot diagnose the infection, virus, fungus?? Any one have any thoughts? I have about given up - living with the pain now 5+ years in my mid section is so distracting - and now since I know I do infect others I just keep to myself which is such a waste - but I cannot get the help I need. Anyone have some ideas?

Honestly,

Guilt of having oral with a girl you hardly know. Guilt can eat away at a person. Believe it or not the way we think, the guilt can actually cause us to have physical symptoms. It seems to me that you have been to so many different doctors. Not finding what is happening with you.

For me personally in my opinion I do not think you have any std, I do not thing you have any disease? Were you tested for Hep B and HIV? If not I would if that would put your mind at ease.

I do not think it has anything to do with that oral encounter from years ago. I think what your describing and your symptoms have more to do with allergies then anything else.

What kind of soap do you use, what kind of detergent do you use. There are so many more people now a days with environmental allergies. I would go to the doctor and ask them for allergy tests.

Just to see if you are allergic to anything. Allergies can pop up at different times and allergies can cause a lot of different symptoms including the ones you describe.

Another thing as well. These other women, might have got UTI, but guess what many women do have UTI. Many women do have this and it is not because you slept with them. Although not smart, but guess what you have to stop blaming yourself for things that other people get that are out of your control.
