Email 522: Penile Discharge


Hi. Good evening.

You can call me john. 21 years old. I am a bit sexually active, but I frequently practice safe sex using a condom. But honestly, I tried doing bareback less than 10 times. I have never been tested for hiv due to I am afraid for any consequences. 

And today, something happened. There is this yellow green discharge from my penis and when I urinate, there is mild hot feeling on the head of my penis. This is the first time for it to happened. I had bareback yesterday to be honest. I am a top.

I really panicked and I am very nervous right now. I am discreet and no one knows especially my sexual activities. I hope you can help me. I am afraid if my parents would find out.

thanks and hoping for your reply.

Good day.

I'm a lesbian. My gf and I found out that she has syphilis. She got tested in SLH. She was told that the bacteria is already in her blood. Will it go away? Is there a possibility that I may get infected? I am feeling something unsual already, and I am taking doxycycline. What should we do?

POZZIEPINOY'S REPLY

Hi XXX,

Thank you for your email.

Regarding your condition, it could be anything. So if you want an accurate diagnosis, you need to get a consultation with a doctor. If you think you have been exposed to HIV, you can go seek consult with an infectious disease doctor. You can also get an HIV test on your own. You can either go to any social hygiene clinic or hospital near you. You can go to RITM-ARG or RITM Satellite Clinic (check them out for directions in my my search box). 

It is best to have control over whatever you are experiencing now before it becomes worse. Do the right thing now before anything gets worse.

I hope I was able to answer your question. Feel free to email me again if you have other concerns.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy

Email 115: Scared and Confused Mom

Pozzie,

It’s getting worse. I'm so sad, alone, guilty. I feel dirty. My life is ruined by love and sex. In the past I had unprotected sex with my boyfriends who always deceived me. They only used me. It's my fault because of love. I'm blind and didn't protect and take care of myself. I knew even if i do not go to gynaecologist that I have a sexually transmitted disease. Because I put some 5 pills in my vagina so that i will not get pregnant. A bad advice from my friend who died 2yrs ago. The worst thing is i haven't gone for paps smear.  I always take medicines that I've read in the net. That's the worst thing I've done in my whole life coz im so ashamed and afraid. Also we don't have financial capability to undergo with treatment. I'm so weak and I feel devastated. It's all my fault.
