Four days later on Thanksgiving all of the symptoms returned. I went to the ER again to get a different diagnosis or pharyngitis. I was prescribed clindamycin and prednisone. This prescription is taking longer to subdue my symptoms though I have only been on it one day. I was never administered a sti screening and I was wondering if I should get one. But can I get a sti screening while on antibiotics? And would the results be accurate while on antibiotics?
I wouldn't even treat for "possible infection" with either. I'd wait for test results to come back to see if you even have either of them.
clindamycin isn't going to help for either if you should be infected with either of them. you are wasting your time and money by taking it.
t bother to do any more tests and just wrote it off as pharyngitis and gave me clindamycin and methylPREDNISolone (some type of steriods for imflamation). I also had "canker sore" I really don't know if it were herpes sores or really canker sores, and three sores on the lips.
Welcome to the forum.
You had a low risk exposure. Oral sex is inherently low risk for all STDs and zero risk for some. Your HIV test results prove for sure that's not an issue. You don't say exactly what STD tests were done, but the negative results are reliable. However, if testing didn't include a throat swab for gonorrhea, that might be something to discuss with your doctor.
I'm allergic to penicillin and sulfa. Dentist prescribed Clindamycin 150 mg for 10 days for infection in my tooth. Got hives, rash, swollen lips and extreme itching and blotches from head to toe. Was on vacation so stopped medication after 3 days of taking it. It is now 5 days taking benadryl and the hives and itching have not stopped. What is in the clindamycin that I may be allergic to?
There is a laser treatment for this granular pharyngitis in India . Doctor name is Dr Paulose .
Oral sex is never a risk for HIV even if you had sore throat/pharyngitis. Enzymes in saliva break inactivate the virus as does air and that never changes so you had no risk from your exposure. The only way adults get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles. So, good news, no worries!

Hello,
If your wife has enlarged tonsils and it is painful for her to swallow, these are symptoms that are, in general, consistent with pharyngitis (inflammation of the throat). Infectious pharyngitis can either be bacterial or viral. Bacterial pharyngitis is usually accompanied by a fever and there are usually not other symptoms such as runny nose, cough (more consistent with viral infections).
I have problem with my throat. For three weeks a have something like little vesticles(like little red thing about 5mm in size) on my back throat an one from each side and in the back of my tongue.
I don't have medical insurance so... any advice?
He diagnosed it as Grade II LPRD, granular allergic pharyngitis and BITH. I have been put on medication for a month.
1.What is the chance/likelihood that this is a late herpetic pharyngitis attack? I have heard that severe viral pharyngitis is difficult to distinguish if it is herpetic or not - is that true?
2. Does herpetic pharyngitis need a different blood test other than the IgG HSV blood tests I have already taken?
I developed what I now know is pharyngitis, started having symptoms of enlarged tonsils last Tuesday. That same day I noticed white streaks and patches only on my tonsils no where else.. Made an appointment the next day and was diagnosed with viral pharyngitis.. My doctor did not prescribe me anything just said gargle really well, and take Tylenol if needed.. The symptoms subsided by Monday, but now I feel really nauseous, and been having the urge to do the number 2 a lot in the past day..
Hi, thanks for your reply. I was interested in knowing why Clindamycin can't be taken with milk based products.
m not sure if the spots on the back of my throat are attributed to mild acid reflux, stress, antibiotics (I was taking Clindamycin vaginally for BV during the week i slept with the guy), or oral gonorrhea, or ARS.
It all came back negative.But now Im having pharyngitis for almost 2 weeks.The condition is mild according to the doctor and he told me to drink a lot of water and gaggle with salt.My question is.
Can I rely on the test for the protected event and unprotected event.Im a Hiv free?
Can I assume that the pharyngitis Im having has nothing to do with Hiv.
Should I get tested again?
Thank you so much for your response. May I also ask what length of time would I take the Biaxin? And is there any home treatment, Like garlic pills etc. that would help augment healing? ( since Biaxin is not considered the best treatment.) Although I'm stuck with that. And frankly, I was on the Clindamycin for weeks and that didn't get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
Hoping that Clindamycin will work...If the Clindamycin does not work...is there another medicine that could do the trick?
Also, the infection has been treated with numerous antibiotics (amoxicillin, flagyl, omnicef, augmentin, clindamycin), and all seem to help at first, but only clindamycin has lasting effects. Not even augmentin worked. Any idea on what kind of bacteria would respond to clindamycin but not augmentin?
