Testing, Testing... 12 MUST KNOW Facts & A Personal Story
|
Testing, Testing... 12 MUST KNOW Facts & A Personal Story Yeah, I'm talking about that R word...responsibility. Some facts: 1. The MOST common symptom of an STI is no symptom at all. 2. 1 in 5 adult males have genital herpes. 3. 1 in 4 adult women have genital herpes, because female genitalia put them at higher risk of infection.. 4. More than 1.2 million people in the US are living with HIV, and 1 in 8 of them don’t know it. 5. From 2005 to 2014, the annual number of new HIV diagnoses declined 19%. 6. The spread of both HIV & Herpes can be massively reduced by regular STD screenings and medications that reduce the liklihood of transmission from infected partners to uninfected partners. 7. People at risk of HIV infection or who have experienced accidental infection can take PrEP to prevent the infection from actually taking hold. 8. People who have been diagnosed with genital herpes can take Valtrex to reduce the transmission of the virus to uninfected partners. 9. Taking all STI medication as instructed is critical to reducing the spread of STIs. 10. Failing to take antibiotics as prescribed can result in antibiotic resistant strains of infections like gonnorhea. 11. If you do not disclose a positive status for genital herpes or HIV, you may put MANY innocent people at risk, including, but not limited to, unborn children. 12. EVERYONE deserves to know if they are going to have sex with someone who has an STI so they can make safer choices and choices they can live with. Get tested routinely if you are sexually active. Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution. First of all, this story has a good ending. Don't skip to it. Just trust me, okay? At Christmas time, I decided to audition a bunch of men for sex...because I wanted a new partner or some new partners that I actually liked having sex with...I'd had it with having little to no sex, at all, and it was time to fix my problem. So I proceeded to do so...meeting people here, meeting people on another site, and trying things out. It went well until Christmas Day I got sick. I was sick for a week. I got sick again almost immediately. A few days later I had an itchy sore in my pelvic area--close to the top of the area a bikini bottom would cover. I thought it was a bug bite. Two days later there were more. I started freaking out. It looked nothing like genital herpes, but I couldn't find any other explanation for what I was seeing. I made my doctor test me for genital herpes. She also tested me for shingles. She didn't really know what it was. The rash continued spread in a Christmas tree shape and the medications she gave me helped, but not enough at the dose she gave me. I read there were other doses that were fine, so I took more every time it wore off. I didn't know my test results yet, but found research tying zinc orotate to being effective against genital herpes, so I ordered some and started taking it. It took over where the anti-vitals left off. The tests came back negative. I was still sick, I was still getting bumps, and just kept taking the zinc because the next doctor seemed just as confused by what he was seeing as I was. He insisted that, however, my infection didn't look like herpes in any way, shape, or form, and the results made it clear that it wasn't. The rash calmed down, but I was still not feeling well, in general, even if I felt better and then I started getting canker sores. Again--freaked the hell out thinking I was now getting herpes in my mouth--even though my tests had been negative, because what the hell else explained what I was seeing? But the doc had been clear--I did not have herpes. I took comfort in that, at least. And I was tired of going to the doctor and too busy for work. So I just kept being mildly ill, getting cankers, not really seeing some of the bumps that had originally emerged heal up completely. They were all different. They just arrived itchy and all at the same time, pretty much. Finally, about 12 weeks later...I felt better. I still didn't know what had been wrong with me. I was about to start dating Mr. Sweet Thing and I was still freaking out...so I did more research. I finally found an obscure blog entry by a medical student that described what I experienced...apparently there is a virus in the herpes family, much like chicken pox, or mono, that my experience seemed to resemble. Usually it only gives healthy people a cold, but causes Karposi's sarcoma in immune compromised individuals. Some relatively healthy people experience what sounded exactly like what I'd had...only the rash gets A LOT worse...being on the anti-vitals and the zinc made a big difference. At least I finally had an explanation. I felt a good deal better... But...like a medical student, as soon as I started covering HIV with my students, I freaked the fuck out again...even though my symptoms didn't really line up. I couldn't help it. It's scary! So, I finally got tested. I had to wait a whole week...and didn't get through it anxiety free, for sure. Everything was ok. No genital herpes, no HIV, no STI infections. I'm assuming at this point that my hypothesis about the illness described by the med student is probably correct. Either way, I both feel better and my tests came back clean, so there's the happy ending I promised you all.

but the virus is now luuuurking in your cells and could come baaack like the shingles ---if this is a herpes simplex B or A relative that's how they roll ---they go dormant for a minute then come back like a bad penny Most people who experience it don't realize it's anything else than a typical cold virus.

Finally, a post worth reading! And, an excellent subject to boot, especially on this site. Glad you're feeling better, and hopefully your Doctor will have a name for your incident, so as to avoid future flare ups. The discussion of STDs, safe sex, and one's STD status is never easy, but it is a discussion that should happen. And should continue to happen every single time one encounters a new sex partner. Self-care should include getting tested, learning how to stay safe, and how to keep one's partner's safe. I have been with women that had herpes, and appreciated them telling me ahead of our meet up. I also appreciated that I was part of the discussion on how to have a good time, and what precautions we could both take so that I could continue to stay safe. Some of us find that aspect of getting to know someone new, sexy as fuck!

Some of us find that aspect of getting to know someone new, sexy as fuck! It took me exactly 3 weeks to become the top blogger in the greater LA area. I'm running 5th or 6th in the state of California having only been back to blogging within the last few weeks. It shouldn't be quite that easy. I want to meet local bloggers I'm excited to know again. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there is much going on locally in that regard.  Even a year ago it was easy to find at least another soul I felt like I connected with locally, even though the most interesting ones seem to have dropped off. When I lived in Seattle, there were definitely some Hollywood bloggers that I followed. They've disappeared.MOST of the time I'm well behaved...but if you weren't, and, enjoyed having your ass handed to you, visit my blog and become a subscriber.

Great info and would be even better if it would've shared exactly where these numbers can be found..Sorry to ask it must be just an unfortunate by product of having a membership here and how it's changed my fundamental operating principles to mirror those of others here . Using more than all the road!

Yeah, at this point I am just taking the zinc orotate. The didn't ever prescribe me anything more. It seems to be generally helpful as I catch things routinely at work, and my immune system has taken a hit with perimenopause. It seems to balance that out and keep things more normal. The perimenopause may very well be why it got me as sick as it did in the first place.MOST of the time I'm well behaved...but if you weren't, and, enjoyed having your ass handed to you, visit my blog and become a subscriber.

nice blog ...keep writing ....... I'll try to be at least a weekly blogger from now on. I know my blog fans miss me when they don't see me for awhile. At least one of them has read my work for well over a decade, so I guess I should be more present so he doesn't wonder what the hell happened to me, as I'm sure he has on more than one occasion. That being said...by now he is probably used to my disappearances! If he missed me THAT much, I am pretty sure he knows how to find me.
