Is Persistent Weakness In The Body A Symptom Of STD?
Hi, I had protected sex about a week ago but I did oral sex on my partner too. After 2-3 days I had a sore throat (discomfort when swallowing), and the feeling of fever but temperature is still normal. Went to doctor and he prescribed me with azithromycin and did 2 hiv test- first is the quick hiv rapid test which I was negative, and the second was blood test which results are not yet out. After 1 day of first dose of azithromycin, my sore throat completely cured. But my body still feels a little weak.

hi, thanks for the query, the throat with difficulty in swallowing seems to be due to oral infection your partner had. Weakness can be due to inflammation of tonsils & antibiotic taken or could have contacted earlier, IN HIV swelling of lympnods is characteristic. Type of infection is very difficult to diagnose at this stage without knowing the HIV 2 result... If fortunately is turns -ve,,, get specific tests for other stds & start taking specific tests.HIV test is confirmatory usually after 12 weeks BE in contact with an STD specialist. thanks.
