My story is similar, but it wasn't finshed when all felt good
[QUOTE=Franga;2304179] ... Thanks for that post. Yes, I am feeling a lot better now. Just last night was the first time that I felt no pain in my urethra while passing uriine. So that is quite amazing. It looks like those doxycycline pills worked. ...
[/QUOTE]Glad to hear you are feeling better. In 2006 I was getting frequent BBBJ and also had 1 time when the condom came off during intercourse. I ended up with gonorrhea and chlamydia, which gave me all of the symptoms that you suffered. My treatment was much the same as yours and within about 10 days I was feeling much better. I have never again felt like that, fortunately.
In about 2008 my urination started to gradually get slower and slower. My primary care doctor diagnosed it as enlarged prostrate, which is common for my age; the medications didn't help. By 2010 my urination stream was so slow that I almost couldn't go. It was diagnosed by a urologist and I required surgery to fix the problem. He said it was likely caused by my fight with gonorrhea/chlamydia from years prior. After surgery I had to wear a catheter for 2 weeks, also not fun. After the experience the urologist told me that I should have seen him sooner when simpler procedures could have fixed my problem. Suggest over the next few years you monitor your urination stream and see a urologist as soon as it gets slow. My 2010 surgery was the worst part of my 2006 STI.
A PrEP question for the qualified.
I notice that some clued-in and conscientious professionals are taking PrEP for their own protection.
Trust and credibility aside, if a service provider is genuinely taking PrEP according to the correct schedule will it give her customers any added protection?
