Am I infetcted.. not hiv.. but other STDs though..
      #166789 - 12/12/05 03:03 AM

First of all, I know this is an HIV site, but the description for this forum included worries about STDs.


I had gotten tested for HIV 12 weeks after, I am negative (which is great because I was really stressing).

So, about 3 weeks ago, I started getting this 'heavy' sensation in my left testicle. My left leg and buttock sometimes feel a little numb when I notice the sensation in my testicle. WOW.. I am really worried now!! I had protected vaginal, and unprotected oral (she blew me). Like really what are the chances of me catching chlamydia or gonorrhea from unprotected oral?! Do you guys know anything about herpes? Do my symptoms sound like herpes to you guys? 3 months have gone by since this encounter and no pimples, bumpbs, or warts have appeared in the viccinity of my genitals..... oh god someone please tell me it doesnt sound like herpes!!!

I started feeling these sensations in my testicle about 3 weeks ago, but it went away, I think, or maybe I was more worried about HIV that i totally forgot about it!! Someone please reply.. but if nobody cant I would understand

There are other diseases out there other than STI's you know.

I would get your balls checked out though just to be safe. not from STI's but feeling like you have heavy balls could be a sign of testicular cancer. Remember I said MIGHT not IS. JUst let the doc have a feel around and then get on with your life.

hi

regards from india

HIV is not a issue( you have tested negative at 12 weeks), now as far as STD's is concerned, yes very much many STD's can be transmitted through unprotected oral sex, however MOST STD's are curable.

I would advice you get your symptoms evaluated from your health care provider and get appropriate treatment/diagnosis ASAP!

stay well

take care

god bless you

love ravi

No it doesn't sound at all like herpes. I would do a self exam on your testicle by feeling it to check for testicular cancer but I wouldn't worry about the herpes issue. You don't get HSV2 from a blow job

Everyone who has replied so far is correct. You are worrying too much. If your balls feel wierd I think it may be because of too much self-stimulation. I do not mean masturbation. Your balls are sensive tissue. Feeling them too much because you are worried about some fucking disease will result in sensations in your testicles. Please leave your balls alone. You will be fine. You do not have herpes or likely any disease. Believe me, I have a doctorate in medicine (ie MD) Please play safe sex with a condom and not worry so much. Take care.

hey.. im the original poster

thank you for all your comments!!

um.. the reason why i jumped on this herpes self diagnosis is because coupled with my 'pain' or 'heavy-feeling' in my left testicle i sometimes feel a numbing in my left leg and buttock...

3 weeks ago i had gone to the doctor, but all she said was for me to take tylenol..
i guess another visit is in order

I am an MD man and responded anonymously before. They teach you in Med school to diagnose everything as an STD and treat with Tylenol. Not very good on the emotions for those who are seriously concerned. The testicular feeling is not due to herpes. However, any discomfort I would get checked out. The testicles are too precious to ignore, although a heavy feeling may just indicate you have bigger balls than the rest of us. Good luck and do not worry so much.

so i went o the doc just now

he basically just checked out my testicles.. felt them up...
..he said nothing feels wrong or different
explained him my situation and my worries.. he said to just ignore the feeling... sigh.. i dono herpes or testicular cancer did not arise in our conversation.. he did swab me for gonorrhea.. however he told me that he doesnt see anything wrong with me

should i have requested an xray or something? so i seek a urologist?...

perhaps this isnt an std.. however id like to hear some insight from Dr. M again thanks =/
