Have Tiny Pimples On Penis. No Itching. Had Sex. Having Fever And Headache. What Can This Be?
Question: I had sex 8 days ago. 2 days after the se i got tiny pimple like bumps on penis. Small, painless, and dont itch. Followed by fever and a hedache. What is this?
Brief Answer:
non-specific infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I do not think this is something serious or any major STI (Sexually Transmitted Illness). However, was the sexual intercourse protected? Did you use a condom? Please let me know this detail.
This seems like a non-specific infection probably Chancroid, LGV or granuloma inguinale. More probable is that this is just a normal variant or a sequence to friction during the act.
Presumptive treatment with a single dose of Azithromycin and a 3-days course of Doxycyline will help prevent and treat unwanted infections from the sexual act. You may want to get both the drugs prescribed from your prescription drugs.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if I could help you further.
Regards,
non-specific infection

Brief Answer:
please get tested for HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back.
You say it was unprotected sexual intercourse. The symptoms that followed are not necessarily suggestive of HIV. It could just be a normal flu.
However, if you are really scared, then there is no harm in getting tested for HIV.
You could get a RNA HIV PCR test done at 14 days or wait for 3 months and get HIV ELISA test done. You may want to get tested to be on the safer side and to remain stress-free.
Practice safe sex to prevent STDs.
Wish you good health.
