About Me:
I'm 27 years old single male uncircumcised with a constant depression of lonely life, I've put myself at risk for a momentarily pleasure with a CSW. I've had Oral and vaginal both protected. However, I don't have any clue about condom breakage/Slippage as I'm not well aware of importance of these things as I've had sex first time in my life. This is the only activity I have had in my whole life and think it's going to be my last. Below are my symptoms and challenges: (I've thyroid issues take sinthroid that's it no allergies no antibiotics taken till date)
Week-1: Fever, Niggt sweats,Loss of Appetite, yellow urine ( till date)
Week-2: Lost 10 pounds, pain in testicles, frequent urination
Week-3: Got Red Rash on Penis head, pain pulling foreskin at times, Sore - Not Itchy at all
(Searched in internet and it said Yeast (Candida Balantitis _ but no swling or itching - it's red, Sore and feel rough abit due to cracks will attach pic to the thread)
I'm currently on Week-6: Yellow Urine, night sweats (just 1-2 times) and no improvement with my penis red rash, sore(cracks)..
I went to the Clinic at Week-1: Twice as I was in Panic- they said it's too early to do anything I insisted they did chylamadia and Gonorrhoea PCR was negative at 3 days..
Week -3: when i showed my Penis doc gave clotrimazole over the counter cream no improvement ( sore rash Not itchy at all)

If you were using a condom, then it's highly unlikely you've picked up anything, so I think your symptoms are almost certainly unrelated.
You may have balanitis though, which is very common, and rarely a big problem.
If it is balanitis, then these links may help:
https://patient.info/health/balanitis-leaflet
https://patient.info/doctor/balanitis-pro (written for doctors)
Washing (with water, no soap) daily, and taking a leak and washing after masturbation or sex will probably help, and you could also try Canesten cream. If you've been having problems for that long though, then it would be worth seeing a doctor. You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.
If you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated. Good luck.

HI Josh,
My thoughts go out to you with your current situation. When I first read your post my initial thought was, "this guy is really a mess". Then, I realized that I had lived through something similar and was surely a mess.
I'll talk in the first person (about me) so I don't offend you. Offending you in not my intent:
Much of my life identity was the living out of negative circumstances that I had experienced. All I could think about was the negative stuff. My life became burdensome just trying to fix this or that. Despite life being good, I never experienced it that way. The glass was ALWAYS half empty.
The details of my life trauma/drama doesn't matter.....
After some physical issue (due to the stress that I was putting myself in all the time) that resulted in me being hospitalized my doctor encouraged me to take a mindfulness course at a hospital near where I lived. I was in a class of 30 people who in my observation had real serious medical issues. Things like cancer and heart disease at the same time. My issue paled in comparison but it was very real to me....
The 8 week course was just the beginning of exercising mental muscles that resulted in my focusing more in the present moment and not the theater in my head. I was on the path of being more happy.
I've been very on and off about mindfulness. But, with more practice and listening to wise people in this area I have seemed to develop skills to be grounded with challenging experiences and not being freaked out by them too much.
I highly recommend that you look more into mindfulness stuff. Someone who I really like (online, Youtube) is a gentleman from Ireland, Padraig O'morain. Google him and find out for yourself. He's very regular and not guru-ish. He has some upcoming online courses. One is called True Friend, a course about developing skills of self compassion. I've taken that course several times. I've needed to since I'm so good at being a self critic.
I have found that the more I have lightened up about myself the more I have appreciated being alive. I am now less needy and I don't look to others to provide me with any fulfillment. My friendship and relationships seem more satisfying.
Mindfulness can be therapeutic but it isn't therapy. It's not about examining the theater in the head and allows you to step away from the stories that seem to be never ending.
Sounds like you need to consult with a medical professional. I'm sure you will be fine but best to make sure so you can be done with the fear that comes along with uncertainty.
I wish you well and please ask me any questions if you have any. My best. DL

Hi Dave,
You've gone through much. I will certainly look up for Padraig. However, the fear of HIV is holding me back I've hardly had a peaceful sleep from past 6 weeks and the thought to get tested is like paramount and is freaking me out. I feel suicidal; just want to go sleep and never wake up. I've ordered Oraquick and will arrive tomorrow tentatively but I'm not sure if I can test myself as I lack confidence. I think I'm at the wall now..?
Thank you mate indeed for being humble and sharing.
Have no clue how this gonna end... hope to post a happy update next time.
Later..
Josh
