amoxicillin for stds

Amoxicillin is not usually given for stds. In fact, I don't know of any that it actually would treat. Most bacterial non-gonorrheal stds are treated with doxycycline 2/day for 7-10 days or Azithromycin 2g one time. For gonorrhea, you need a shot, I forget what it's called plus Ciprofloxacin. For viral stds, they have no cure although you may be able to reduce symptoms by taking antiviral medications.

Welcome to the Forum an my apologies for the delaye response. Amoxicillin is not an optimal antibiotic for most STDs an is no longer the recommeded therapy for any STD. Although many strains of gonorrhea are now resistant to amoxicillin I would anticipate that about 70-75% of gonorrhea would be cured by the amoxicillin you were prescribed as would most chlamydial infections. This dose you were prescribed would also certainly prevent syphilis.

Would 1 gram, 3x daily (3 grams daily) of Amoxicillin for 10 days kill Chlamydia and Gonnorea? What other conditions might cause a pinching sensation and a slight red discloration at the tip of my penis?

I have this dripping and this pain when i pee, I have sore throat too. Is this Gonorrhea? And then after i took amoxicillin twice a day for 2 days, the pain lessened, sometimes it's not even painful but still the dripping did not stop, what should i doo?

Anyone have a good opinion on best antibiotics combo for across the board prevention of the bacterial STDs. What I mean is say u were exposed to something potentially risky and figure i may as well take post-exposure antibiotics. Which are gram positive STDS. Which are G negative. What combo is best to take care of everything non-viral?

But it sounds like your partner probably is at low risk for STDs in general.STDs become quite uncommon in women beyond age 25. For example, routine chlamydia testing is not recommended in women older than 25; too few are infected to make it worthwhile. As I said above, I would not have recommended testing for any STD. However, the amoxicicllin will further reduce whatever low risk there was, e.g. for gonorrhea.

What are the chances of acquiring an STD via oral sex? I’m also on 500mg of amoxicillin for 10 Days every six hours for a sinus infection.

I was not tested for strep or for any STDs the office i was diagnosed with acute pharyngitis but i am concerned that this may not be the case. I was wondering if i was to have an STD would this medication cure what i have or should i go back to the clinic to make sure.

Hello... I'm a 29 year old male, and I received unprotected oral sex about 2 1/2 weeks ago from someone I didn't know. I then had unprotected vaginal sex with another partner about 10 days later with no ejaculation. A few days later I developed head congestion and mild throat symptoms along with slight, intermittent throbbing in one testicle. No burning, itching, or discharge. I have also had what I assume is a varicocele for most of my life, but it has never given me any problems.

So he went to his physician who was easy to prescribe antibiotics. In this case the antibiotic, Amoxicillin did nothing for him. So he was prescribed it again and yes again until his doctor changed antibiotics and after a long 2 months the symptoms seemed to fade. He had lost weight, noticed he lost his complexion, felt symptoms of low testosterone, and became depressed. He described himself as feeling diseased. He had not totally recovered from his illness.

i hope this is not ars so i went to nose and neck specialist and prescribed for amoxicillin 750 mg which i had today and ferlling better now. today morning i had small rounded herpes on my lips as well as on my back sides of neck and chest after 25 days of exposure. so i am worried about this red small herpes. i want to know that what other stds after such a risky exposure should i have to test. the symptomps which i have now is herpes.

I had a STD screen for all testable stds on 4/11 that were negative. I also took Amoxicillin 500 mg BID 7 days for tonsillitis. I didn't have a sore throat, but had white spots in the throat. On 4/18 I had a tonsillectomy and adenoids removed. The biopsy came back negative, but showed chronic infection. I took Amoxicillin 1200mg liquid Bid for 10 days. I told my primary doctor about the encounters on 4/26.

m taking a daily suppressant also was given amoxicillin for swollen glands now i have broken out with some little tiny blisters with a black dot on top very tiny but very itchy and only on my hands and a few near outer elbow. what is it ? is it the herpes on my hands or is it a yeast break out on my hands . they itch and burn the blisters are sparatic a couple on palms a few on my fingers and then a few outer elbow. ?????

The next week I had a sore throat (unrelated) and went to my doctor and was given a prescription for amoxicillin. I began taking the amoxicillin 10 days after the encounter. 15 days after the encounter while still taking the amoxicillin, I had sex with my wife. We had sex twice that night, the only time since the encounter. The next week my doctor switched me to clarithromycin for my throat.

I recently did an STD test for common STDs with Labcorp, Only HSV-1 came positive (IgG = 3.0). I remember noticing a cold sore once or twice during the year, but never had pain or serious symptoms. I recently had flu like symptoms (sore throat, headache, fatigue) that my doctor attributed to common cold. Doctor prescribed Amoxicillin for 10 days. Took the whole course, but it didn't help. last week, my lower lip started tingling. I applied Abreva and I was instantly relieved.

The only activity you describe with any meaningful risk for STD is your brief receipt of oral sex and oral sex is an inefficient way to transmit STDs. Of the bacterial STDs only gonorrhea and nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) are transmitted through oral sex; chlamydia is not and without an obvious sore or lesion on your partner’s mouth, the chances of syphilis and herpes is likewise tiny.

Hi there, I looked them up on internet and howcome I got that itchyness there, it explains that amoxicillin can be used for urinal bacteria, the other one can be used for anus bacteria..

I went in again to get tested for all stds a day later but I had already taken 1 pill of amoxicillin. The urine test came back negative again and the blood test is not done testing yet. I am still having the same symptoms with little improvement 3 days on amoxicillin.

So that evening, I took 1000 mg amoxicillin. The next day (Monday) I was tested for several STDs and showed positive for HSV-1 only (no chlamydia or gonorrhea). 2 days later I read that I may have been tested too early. Since I couldn't wait around for ever before I had to have sex with my wife, On Thurday, I started taking doxycycline 100 mg 12 hours apart and amoxicillin 500 mg 3 times per day. On Monday, I was tested again and everything was negative.

I had unprotected oral sex with a CSW yesterday evening. I started on course of amoxicillin for my sinus problems from yesterday morning. If I had contracted gonorrhea or chlamydia from this woman , would the antibiotic help ?. I mean since the bacteria would be incubating now, wouldn't amoxicillin prevent the infection ?. I'm posting this out of paranoia. Any reply to my question would help in calming my irrational fears.

I went to a dermatologist, which they determined my skin irritation to be Guttate Psoriasis. Applied a steroid creme and amoxicillin and it went away (except for my scalp). Dec 2013 - Present Once in awhile i would get a small rash at the tip of my penis, but would go away after 3-4 days with the help of antibotic ointment and some basic anti-fungal creme (I think I had a minor case of balantis from hygene and excessive masturbation causing irritation to the skin).

1) although not preferred, will the Augmentin regimen clear me of anything? 2) how soon could I be accurately tested for STD's?
