I am a gay man 20 yo. I was anal douching quite frequently, also I work in a hospital. So I'm afraid that douching may have left me more susceptible to infection. I tested negative on my home HIV test and and for reasons I don't care to explain will only see a doctor if my condition becomes life threatening. I have had prolonged intermittent diarrhea for about a month now and have been more sensitive to temperature fluctuations a dry cough will flare if it gets colder than room temperature. My stools vary from foul smelling discolored and formed to rice water consitancy and brown. I was wondering what these symptoms tell. I have been hydrating and supplement ing my diet so I feel normal aside from the frequent gas pain and bloating that started about a month ago.
