My friend and her girlfriend are freaking out because one of them has almost all the signs of chlamydia, but neither of them have cheated. Is there a way chlamydia can be spread besides intercourse?

Vaginal bumps mean yeast infection…?




I had these small red sores on my genital area a few weeks again that itched a lot, so I finally told my mom when it started producing a discharge. Since I just got off antibiotics, we assume it’s a yeast infection. I am sexually active but it’s only with my boyfriend and he was a virgin before me so I’m wondering how I could get an std… There are small white bumps that I can feel only when I touch them and I can pop a few but it doesn’t hurt that much when I do. I have other patches all over my vagina that look like bumps, but feel smooth as if nothing was there. The spots with the bumps I can feel itch a lot even after this being the third time I’ve tried to get rid of it as a yeast infection. First time I tried it burned and itched so badly when I used the medication that i had a hard time sleeping. Now it’s actually starting to die down a lot, but I still feel the opening burning and those patches of feelable lumps… Is this really a yeast infection or is it something different?




How can you tell if your boyfriend has genital herpes?




How could you tell if he (or she) has genital herpes and they just aren’t inflamed? Would I get them even though he doesn’t have any warts on his penis at the moment? We have a lot of unprotected sex.




Discharge that is milky-like?




Ok, I have never experienced this milky discharge. Any ideas? I know its not pregnancy, I had a tubal ligation after my son was born 6 years ago. But, its pretty gooey down there, sorry, i know thats gross.
smells like nothing.

i don’t have the insurance to go see a doctor right now.
what should i do?







My friend was telling me that I dont have to worry about STD’s if I have sex with a person of a different race. He said it has something with genes. I dont think this sounds right but he is generally smarter than me.

I just started antibiotics for strep throat tonight around 8, I have class tomorrow at 6 and don’t want to go if there is a chance I could spread it to others. Should I be safe by then?




Will a chlamydia test work if you get treated for it?




I got treatments for a Urinary Tract Infection. I do not know if I have Chlamydia, but I was wondering if it was caused by that. If it was, will the STD be undetectable if I get tested for it?
I am trying to get tested for everything thanks for the info!!!!







I had to go to the ER 9/10/2010, as I had no Insurance. I had burning while urinating, just generally uncomfortable down there, they gave me a pelvic exam and said I had alot of discharge. They also tested me for Ghonhareaa(Cant spell it) and Clamidiya, both test came back negative, the day after the ER visit.
So they think I have some sort of infection. They gave me a shot in the hip, also gave me Azithromycin 500mg, two tablets, which I took as directed. They also gave me Cephalexin 500mg x14 tab, two a day, which I am taking as directed.
This morning I woke up feeling awful, think I have a bit of a fever. I believe i have a severe yeast infection now, it is so painful and uncomfortable. So I went to the Pharmacy and got a Monistat 1 day treatment pack and used it. I have had yeast infections before from taking antibiotics, but this is the worst, most painful I have ever had. PLEASE HELP
