So far after the health professional gave this advice and prescription did your throat feel any better or simply feel just the same as before?

Actually went to buy a special lozenges, that anti bacterial and anti imflammatory. My throat no longer feel pain. the feel is gone. but i will monitor and see how thing goes.


And for the HIV and STD check, i will wait maybe 2 more weeks then go check because I think HIV need at least 14 days after last bonk right to be precise up to 95%?

The cough bug is super strong. Keep recurring. Betadine spray is very good. Stops the cough temporarily for throat to recover n to get a good night sleep. Spray kills 90% of all throat germs or so it is claimed. Very useful, even if taking medicine.

Not useful after taking the medicine.. continued to have headache ,dry lips and burning tongue(especially after eating food) and worse bad breath.. so ytd night i went edinburg clinic to see doc and he said i have post nasal drip -_-" .. was given antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) and some sinus medication.. now at least throat under control.. will continue to monitor..

That time i went AFA at DSC.. i chose the 4th gen rapid kit.. but before u take the test, you will be counselled and the counsellor will determine.. which kit is suitable for u.. so feel free to share with him/her your past history.. it helps greatly.. yup, according to information at afa.. 14 days is enough.. but will require to take the test 3mths later again to double cfm.

Had bbbj with 4 escorts and fj with condom. Painted 1 of the escort and but before i engage them, my throat already very dry.

No other symptoms. Everything else is fine and just purely sore throat for more than 1 week.

Any recommendation to do a full checkup incl check for hiv and all possible std and what the cost like.

Thanks

get a throat swap. stds bacterial infection is possible

If you always have a recurring sore throat and as days past, your sore throat is getting worse, meaning your immune system is getting low, you must be checked to rule out some serious conditions, specially if you are active with multiple partner, maybe a change in lifestyle condition will work.

A persistent sore throat that does not get better after a few rounds of antibiotics should be cause for concern. It could be an HPV infection that can lead to throat cancer.

It would be wise to consult an ENT specialist for a proper diagnosis.

Speaking of hpv testing, i come across this gp called shim clinic.. will call and check whether they do testing on men or not

Last year I had a sore throat and fever that lasted 1 month, the ulcer big till doctor ask me go hospital, I look thru mirror can see my ulcer. 2 month later, after recovery have a similar relapse, but recover within 2 week. Then another 2 month later relapse but recover within few days......each time same symptons but recovery rate faster, always take it as flu and tonsil infection.

Recent blood test show I am HSV positive. Tell doctor my last year symptons, was told to go for swab test if sore throat relapse to confirm if cause by HSV.

Herpes esophagitis is extremely rare. It is usually seen only in individuals that have compromised immune systems eg AIDs patients.

3 months after the bad sore throat i took a full body checkup at local clinic, the only std include in package are HIV and VDRL but both turn out negative.

Another 4mths later decide took full STD check up still show negative for all but only positive for HSV-2. I read that Herpes esophagitis is rare for HSV-2, so can i rule out Herpes esophagitis?

Sorry I can't answer that question. Only a qualified medical professional who has actually examined you and run tests can make a definitive diagnosis.
