What Are The Symptoms Of STI ?
Hello doctor, I began taking doxycycline capsules twice a day about five days ago. My partner (male) had experienced discharge 2 weeks after intercourse. We have both been tested at several different places and everything has come back negative. He is on the same medication and his symptoms as well as my normal discharge has decreased considerably. Does this mean I was carrying an infection or STI that is not regularly tested for?

Thank you for query.If both the partners had white discharge which responded to antibiotic it is likely to be STDs.It is important for both the partners to be treated simultaneously otherwise it keeps recurring in both.During this period it is better to use condoms to prevent transmission .Dr Bharatesh D Basti
