So, like most of us....smart thing to do is get tested! Then again, some people dont get checked, look clean, look normal...but are they?
Early this fall, I had a casual partner and I had gotten paranoid, after I started feeling an itch down there..I first got a visual the first time I ever stepped into a clinic, thought I had something...saw bumps on my pelvic area, it was itchy and pink pimple-like. I got it checked and it was just razor bumps. I went back three months later for a whole check-up of gonorea, syphilis, Hiv, chylamidia and I dont rememeber the other one?They told me theyd call me back in 2weeks. Which....sadly they did...
I had chylamidia from a rectal swab...meaning I got chylamidia from un-protected anal sex. Yep....and at the time I didnt think anal or oral was sex! I guess now I know... So, got my positive test...by then I had already settled with a new partner, a boyfriend who is amazing!. Once i got called....I told him about the news...i was scared at first but if you dont tell its a crime. So just suck it up and do it! Plus, I have been only having oral sex with him, vise versa him onto me. So, I told him he has it too. Makes sense...I called the sexual health clinic, they told me to come in asap to get medication. I went in 3days later because they were closed on the weekend and I got the news on a friday afternoon. Monday morning, me and my new partner went on a mission. I was scared to talk to the receptionist in the office...I mean who wants to tell someone face to face what they have? This is the scary part! Luckily...my partner did the asking. This is how it went down..... You both have to take different numbers, fill your forms...and eventually get called by the number which is according to you. I thought we would do this together, sit beside eachother, get a visual, talk to them about it. But no, you go and do your thing seperately. I also asked him to tell them if we can get more test? So, as retard as it sounds...we cant get more test:/
Basically, everything else was tested negative (sti's I mentioned before) Hpv, herpes, trimiosanosis or wte...are visuals. Speaking of which....I got a prescription for Hpv, its an injection you get every 1,3,6 month. It cost $150 x 3 injectiongs...aproxximately $500!!! So....you got the form but save up! I definetely will get my HPV vaccination once I have saved dam $500 :S! So.........my partner went to get tested for everything.......his result will come back in two weeks.
Questions I asked the nurse ...and dont laugh but hey good to know...
Can we get rid of sti if we pee or poo?..answer was no since they come in different passages into your body.
Is uti related to chylamidia?...I had a uti a week after I got tested..god knows whats going on...also went for an ultrasound and came back I have Uti. finished my medicine...felt fine.. But...did i get it from chylamidia? Nope...they answered because unless it was already entering your urethra, or affecting then it wouldnt be chylamidia related. Note, I am a virgin hence these weird questions...since nothing was penetrated into my vagina it wouldnt be uti etc....then again, since there was penetration into my anus, wouldnt it travel to the urethra? makes no sense to me.........if you have an asnwer let me know!
Now fast-forward to the real world...........we took our pills, they are called ''Azithromycin ( Zithromax) ''..Zithromax is just one of the other words for zithromycin...or it contains that...anywyase this is chemistry stuff so lets not get into it lol. Okay...so I dont think everyone has the same color of pills...but mine were dark pink and large ...I had to take 4 at a time...So, I aksed if I pee this out will it rid of the pill? answer was no. I asked if i can eat or drink with this pill they said yes. So...I went to the restaurant with my partner and the food was pretty shitty...sucked but wte we were starving sicne we spent like 3hrs at the clinic! So, I got the pills at 2.30...ate around 3.30ish...and all of a sudden started to feel nauseous, dizzy and uncomfortable. Then it was 430...and thats when it hit me...I was depserate for gingerale! I went to the bathroom and had diarehhea,, I went about 4x and was on a soup and gingerale diet the rest of the day... Next day, I had it again! couldnt even concentrate on my exam which sucked!! SO, once i got home....i drank more soup n gingerale...and again diarehea, but not as bad as the night before. You can think its gross all you want but this is what happens! :P I called the clinic and they didnt answer...so I called the hotline:P and I asked them if I had diareha after taking the '' Azithromycin'' antibiotic for chylamidia....if this was a good or bad thing? Happens to be it was a side effect of the pill, and no you dont have to go back to get more medication UNLESS you vomit within an hr ! or even vomit PERIOD!. And I asked if diahrea is flushing out the pill?and they said no your stomach is just riding of the bad bacteria....to avoid takin yogurt...im lactose intolerant but they say yogurt is good for diahrea...well in my opinion screw that! soup and gingerale is the way to go! Keep in mind there are certain things you cant take with the medicine....likke antacid and tums.
The only thing left is simple...........no sex for a week....no sex during your treatment of medication because youl never get rid of it! youl keep tossing back and forth the dam sti! so avoid any sexual contact period! then after your treatment...have protected sex! and then we have to go back for a follow-up within 2-3months...
So il keep you guys informed! Btw this sti is curable! and whatever you do, dont think you are alone! this is common! and the healthiest thing to do...........is GET TESTED! so becareful who you are having sexual encounters with and ALWAYS use protection! play smart and be safe!
