Hi,
I have been with my new boyfriend for the last 5 months. As i was not on the pill we used condoms for the first few months. About 4 weeks ago i decided to go back on the pill and we no longer used condoms. About a week after having sex for the first time without using condoms i felt that i had an infection. I was almost certian I had a UTI, as it felt itchy and i had a burning sensation- I went to the chemist and tried treatment for cystitis and thrush as i really thought it would be one or the other but that did not clear it so i went ot my gp. My Gp said it sounded like a UTI so he took a sample of urine and did some sort of litmus test in surgery, this showed the prescence of some white blood cells. He prescibed some trymethoprim which i took for 1 week however this did not clear my symptoms so i went back. He then prescibed me some augmentin antibiotic- which seemed to clear it up but it still did not feel 100% right.
A week ago i had sex again with my boyfriend without a condom and the previous symptoms re-appeared again a few days after; - felt slighty ichy, needed to urinate more and it stung a bit, i also had a longer period than normal and sex was little more uncomfortable.
I went to a sexual screening clinic yesterday and they said that i had gonorrhea. My boyfriend went to a clinic today and they told him his results were all negative and that he did not have gonorrhea.
Is it possible that i have had gonorrhea possibly for quite sometime? - and that it was only a coincidence that i got the symptoms after having sex with my new boyfriend? How is it possible that he is immune to it ie his test results are negative while mine are not? I am really really confused and feel as you can imagine quite baffled and upset by it all! Is it possible that my results are a false positive?
Thanks
