I definitely picked up an STI from a BBBJ.
Symptoms started around 5 days after the incident, and got so bad for 5 days after that. Unfortunately due to bad timing (it was the long weekend at the time) it took me a while for me to get tested. Research had already told me it was gonnorhea. Symptoms included painful urination, a swollen foreskin, pain in the genitals and the surrounding area, and a fever and chills for a couple of days.
I finally was able to make it the Hassle Free Clinic after the 5th day of suffering symptoms. By this time, there was a definite green discharge coming out of the foreskin of my penis (by this time, the foreskin was swollen to the point it looked like a large grape. I was swabbed, and the visual check under the microscope seemed to confirm the presence of gonnorhea. I was also given a blood test and a urine test. They then gave me two antibiotics, one injectable, and the other was 4 tablets consumed at once. Symptoms started abating by about 2 days, and then the worst of it was done by 7. However, two symptoms still remained: the foreskin was still swollen to the point that I could not pull it back, and the pain in the genital area turned into discomfort.
However, I went for a follow up and was surprised to learn that both the swab test and the urine test came back negative for any STI (gonnorhea, chlamydia, and syphillis). It's definitely a bacterial infection considering how quickly the antibiotics work, so wondering if anyone knew of any uncommon STI infections which would cause the same symptoms I had.
Anyone have any ideas?
