Question 1

can enlarged lingual tonsils be the result of an std?

Accepted Answer

Throat infections: Std's have been known to cause throat infections, which can lead to enlarged tonsils.

Question 2

is it possible to get an std while in a monogamous relationship for 17 years?

Accepted Answer

Some yes, some no: Herpes often is carried for many years before it is transmitted; many cases come from monogamous partners. Some STDs can be present for many years and then show up with new symptoms or lab test, like an abnormal pap smear with HPV -- seems like a new infection but isn't. Sometimes a positive test is wrong. New gonorrhea or chlamydia always means one partner has had sex with someone else.

Question 3

currently in a monogamous lesbian relationship. my girlfriend was my first sex experience and shes only been with her ex (female) and me (its both their first time for oral, kissing and fingering). how likely are we to catch stds?

Accepted Answer

: For std one partner has to have it. In this scenario chances are near 0 but any one of you should get tested to make sure.

Question 4

is there a reason why after intercourse my balanitis flares up? i am circumcised. it is embarrassing and detrimental my relationship. been tested for stds x3 & all neg. please help.....

Accepted Answer

Balanitis: It is important to get evaluated for precancerous or infections. Still, inflammatory skin disease like eczema, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis to rubber, lubricant, contraceptive  etc can cause it. Physical friction can predispose circumcised males to the condition.A dermatologist may give some guidance.

Question 5

i want to know where i can go for std checkup?

as i am entering into a sexually active relationship) and both sides want to go through due process and see our statuses as well as potential treatment/vaccinations/protection/etc.

Accepted Answer

Wrong place to ask: This is the HT public information site where docs, primarily in the USA answer questions about health conditions. You are welcome to post general health questions as needed. However,we have no access to or information about local healthcare systems work around the world where this site is seen.  You need to contact your insurer or a local source/clinic for such information.

Question 6

what stds are able to show up in a long-term monogamous relationship and what are not plausible? 5 yrs of monogamy with no other partners but each other. any chance for gono/ct? seems from research only really herpes with 5yrs long term monogamy?

Accepted Answer

: Herpes, trichomonas, syphilis, human papillomavirus (HPV), and (very rarely) chlamydia might first be diagnosed five years into a monogamous relationship.

Question 7

std possibility that seems impossible. i have what appears to be genital herpes although the circumstances required to have obtained it are implausible. i've been in three sexual relationships, all committed, all months apart. my current relationship is 1

Accepted Answer

You : You need to have these cultured and tested.  There are other possibilities besides std, especially if you had a cut.  After a cut, MRSA (methicillin resistant staph aureus) can occur and also looks like sores for example.  Please be seen immediately and have cultures taken so that you know for sure and can receive proper treatment.

Question 8

i've been tested for stds a lot. all negative i have discharge, it smells from time to time, more then not, and its yellow sometimes green an always thick. i want a hysterectomy its so bad. i don't know what to do, it's coming between my relationship?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: The issue is likely in your vagina and removing the uterus probably will not address the issue. 
It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, preferably a gynecologist. 
Wish you good health!

Question 9

is it okay to start a relationship with a masseuse lady? are they more likely to have stds?

Accepted Answer

To "profile" or not: To do "occupational profiling" or not... that's an interesting question. The ethical answer would be "no," because we shouldn't assign particular STD risk levels to various professions by using common stereotypes. The practical answer is... well, nobody knows. Does the average masseur or masseuse have more STD's than the average accountant, barista, or policeman? Nobody really knows. Date wisely.

Question 10

hi recently had an dry humping with a male of unknown status with underwear we both have underwear he rubbed my anus can get hiv or any std  i am very scared and anxious about this relationship thank you ?

Accepted Answer

: Bodily fluids transferred? No test could tell immediately.Most tests are for antibodies, the soonest would show positive in +3 weeks after the encounter.If negative, wait for 3 months and test again &amp; in 3months more.In the meantime, keep using all the prevention protective measures for HIV and, if you think you’re at High risk(I.e. partner was HIV positive) talk to your PCP about starting meds.
