Posted on Wed, 11 Jan 2017

Question: hi,
I have unprotected and vaginal/oral sex with a lady whom I don't know around 46 days back.After 2 weeks this incident I have developed a swollen nod behind my ear which was treated with some antibiotics and after that some pin and burn like pain developed in my arms and foot and skin under foot is peeling off and some subcutaneous fat in my thighs,arms etc is reduced.During swollen nod time my lymphocyte count was 44% after consuming antibiotic (moxclav) it became 27% and then it gradually increasesd to 44%.Now it is 44% and still I have swollen nod which is not completely cured but not taking any medication.Before this incident and after my weight still remains same.Another thing after this I have some pain in urination and I consulted a urologist and he prescribed azhithromycin injection but when they give test dose it was allergic to me and also doctor found a benign growth (4cm) is my right testicle.My TC also comes down from 6200 to 4600.MCV-75.7,MCHC-39.1.ESR--20,RBC-4.76,Platelet--1.85,PCV--37.3
I have did HIV duo test on 29th day after that intercourse it was non-reactive and 42nd day I did ELISA which was also non reactive.on 45th day did VDRL test which was also nonreactive.I would like to know about my condition why lymphocytes are increasing,about substaneous fat issue,pin point pain and peeling of skin in foot and arms,swollen nods beneath ear.I want to know whether the swollen nods is because of growth in testicle
Also please tell me any other sexually transmitted diseases cause this symtoms.What are the other STD tests I have to do apart from Elisa and VDRL.Please guide me on my status about HIV and other things

Brief Answer:
Please attach your reports

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Usually STDs causing lymphnode swelling involve more than one site in the body. Your symptoms are not in congruence with any STDs.

Yes, there are other tests you may have to get to screen yourselves for STDs, like Herpes antibodies and Chlamydial antigen test.

Please do share the test reports you have. I will have a look and opine on the same.

Brief Answer:
HSV antibody test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

I have sen the reports attached.

You can relax as almost al STD tests are negative, completely ruling out HIV and other for now.

Only test missing is for herpes, HSV1 and 2 antibody test. This is one of the commonest STDs ruling out this would be for the good.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
Get examined

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

SGPT and SGOT levels can be influenced by previous day meal (the day before test). The levels are not too high needing intervention.

Loss of subcutaneous fat, peeling of skin and burning sensation are not typical of any STDs, These can only be seen in severe intensity in late stages of few STDs.

Get examined by your GP to be sure of what it is.
