Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
You may have HIV testing or full STD screening to rule out any ongoing infection. Also have one pelvic ultrasound to make sure all is well.
Please practice safe sex if you want to avoid similar anxieties in future.
During periods chances of infection are more. So, better to avoid sex during this period.
Take care.

Hi,
According to your symptoms, you seem to be having pelvic infection and it may or may not be related to the vaginitis you had in the past as there is a long time gap. I would ask you to see a gynecologist and get a complete evaluation along with a vaginal smear, pap smear and a trans-vaginal sonogram. Blood counts and urinalysis also are necessary to look for infection. You may also get tested for HIV infection. You can get treated easily with antibiotics and pain relief if it is PID, so please do not worry. Hope you find this information useful. Take care.
