Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhea. The infection can be spread through the mouth, vagina, penis, or anus. The bacteria grows in warm and moist areas of the body, including the tubes that carry urine out of the body(urethra). In women, bacteria may also be found in the fallopian tubes, uterus, and cervix.

This is one of the scariest words you can have told to you. Mainly because you may not know what it means and what happens next. It is a virus that damages your body’s immun system, meaning it makes it harder for your body to fight off infections. Unforunately this disease also makes you more susceptible to different types of cancer and other infections such as pnuemonia and meningitis.AIDS is the name given when you are in the later stages of the disease.

HIV Testing Dallas

In early stages of the infection, the symptoms may include, fever, headache,swollen lymph glands, and a rash.In the beginning you may not have symptoms but you will still be able to pass the disease on to others. In the later stages of the disease, the first signs are swollen lymph nodes,diarrhea,weight loss,fever and a couch. By the time that AIDS has set in the signs and symptoms may be the following. Soaking night sweats, shaking chills or a fever higher than 100,dry couch, shortness of breath,chronic diarrhea,persistent white spots or unusual lesions on your tongue or in your mouth,headahces, blurred or distorted vision, and weight loss.
This disease is passed a number of different ways and here are just a few of them. Having unprotected sex with an infectious person, through blood transfusion of an infected donor.Through needle sharing, meaning drug needles used by someone who is a carrier of the disease. Just to let you know you cant get the disease by kissing or hugging,dancing or shaking hands. It has to be passed through blood or sexual secretions.
The complications of this disease are that you are more vulnerable to pneumonia, tuberculosis, salmonellosis, hepatitis,herpes and HPV.Also you become more vulnerable to different types of cancer.
Testing for HIV is done using blood or oral mucous, but it isnt accurate sometimes becaus ethe disease takes about 12 weeks for the antibodies to develop and in rare cases it could take up to 6 months.
As of now there is not cure for HIV/AIDS, but there are drugs that suppress the symptoms and reduce the amount of the virus in your blood to very low levels or to the fact of being undetectable. Now that doesnt mean that its gone.Testing will be done at the beginning of treatment and every 3-6 months to see if the meds are lowering the levels of the virus in the blood.
Now when being treated remember to follow your doctor’s guidelines. Get vaccinations for pneumonia and the flu, dont smoke or do any illicit drugs and try your best to eat a healthy diet. Find ways to relax,get plenty of rest.
When receiving this news go out and learn all that you can about the disease to better prepare yourself for the changes.Maintain a strong support system, do what you can to come to terms with the illness. If you have to seek out counseling, there are a vast number of support systems out there to help you through this.

Here is another testimonial. 

My name is Dallas,   and  this  is my story of how I contracted and STD. One night about 8 yrs ago, I had been out having a few drinks. Well I had met this enticing young woman, we hit it off and things were going rather well. We went back to my place and one thing led to another, we wound up sleeping together that night and several nights after. It was after the fourth or fifth time that I began to notice that it burned when I urinated and underneath the tip of my penis had become enlarged. When I tried to contact the woman, she was no where to be found. Myself being a little stubborn and stupid, thought that it would go away on its own. Now by this time it a couple of weeks had passes and the pain had only gotten worse. 

One Night Stands...

It was so bad that I deliberately stopped eating and drinking just so I wouldn’t have to go to the restroom, trust me when I tell you this didn’t help. So after a couple of weeks of pain and burning I broke down and went the  to the doctor.  Now  the next part was the most embarrassing, I had to pull my penis out and show it to the ER doctor, so she could see what was wrong. Then they took a cue tip and swabbed the inside of the penis head to get a specimen. After waiting for a while she came back and said that it was Chlamydia. She asked if I had been having unprotected sex and I told her yes.  I asked should there have been a warning sign during intercourse where I should have known something was wrong? She said that every case is different, well then I began to think back and did remember that during one night it was painful during intercourse. She said that that could have been the night that I contracted the STD. I was horrified, here I was at the age of 23 with my first and hopefully last STD. She said that with medication the symptoms would go away and that I would be fine. From that point on I use a condom every  time that I have intercourse, this was a slap in the face tome because I thought that I was invincible. But, at that age I guess that we all think that. This was the wake up call that I never wanted to get. Yes, it was scary but I have made it a priority in my life now to use a condom every time that I have sex with someone.

Now I know that some of you may be tempted to blame the female in this spot, and at first I did as well. Should she have told me yes, but it was my responsibility to use and carry a condom with me. I look back and at times I do regret it but then I think that it could have been much worse than what it turned out to be and for that I am very thankful for this to have happened when it did.  Let this be a lesson that hopefully you wont have to go through, men always carry a condom. Women don’t take a mans word that he doesn’t have anything, always request that he uses a condom or nothing happens. If you happen to be someone who has an STD, take precautions but please be upfront with anyone that you think you could get sexually involved with. Yes some people are going to walk away from you but there will be those ones who will be okay with it and use the proper protection for themselves and for you as well. Thanks for listening to my story. Hopefully, it will entice you to protect yourself from this sad and embarrassing situation.

Thank you Devin for providing the following testimonial.

herpes testimonial

“Being a young, 19 year old girl in a steady relationship, would have never thought that getting an STD could possibly ever happen. I was with my boyfriend for 4 years, and he was the only person I had ever been sexually active with. We had been having sexual relations without using protection for years now. Him and I have an 11 month old son together, who I absolutely adore. After our son was born, I immediately started using birth control, of course. A few months ago, after having sex with my boyfriend, unprotected, everything seemed normal. I never thought twice about getting an STD, or using protection for that matter. A couple of weeks after we slept together, I felt very uncomfortable.. I take alot of baths so at first I figured I had a yeast infection? I called the doctor to make an appointment after the uncomfortable pain became almost unbearable. I had a few days before my appointment, and during that time I had the worst breakout in my vaginal area that I thought was even possible. It was horrible. Immediately I called my boyfriend.. I knew it had to be an STD, I knew he cheated, I knew that I was paying the price for HIS unfaithful actions. After seeing the doctor and having it confirmed that I did in fact have herpes, I felt mortified. I was disgusted with myself, with him, with everything. It hurt the most because I knew this was something that I would have forever. I would have to go through this disgusting pain once a month for the rest of my life. It hurt because I had only been with one person.. I had always thought of STD’s being linked to those people who are constantly changing partners and having more than one at a time.. I was completely depressed about it all. Not everyone has breakouts, and not everyone knows they have this disease..I unfortunately did. After the initial shock went away, a few weeks after my doctor’s visit, I decided that everything happens for a reason. I hope I can help prevent this from happening to anybody else.”
