About 5 or 6 weeks after the encounter, I noticed a very faint red speckled
rash on my hipbone (only visible with close inspection in good light),
and I had a sore throat, a doctor gave me ciprofloxacin for the throat infection, which sent away. Around that same time, the vein on my scrotum seemed to soften and go back to normal color. A week or so later, I got another sore throat.
