Avatar m tn Tendon rupture and horrible aches and pains for months can result. People have different genetic tolerances.

Avatar m tn I believed I had epididmytitis earlier. I took levaquin. Later, I wondered if there could be any chance of contracting HIV. Anyhow, I know that the only way is to get tested, but while waiting for a good time to get tested, as it's still a bit early to get an accurate result, I'd like to ask the question in the title.

Avatar f tn I went back to the doctor and he gave me levofloxacin for tonsillitis but my throat is still sore on the 8th day on levofloxacin. In september i had a lung infection which i used levofloxacin for and i was coughing up greenish phlegm and it worked for that.

Avatar f tn I have been on the levofloxacin for 5 days now and the testicle ache has gone and come back, along with the irritation under the head. Still no discharge excepting during one bowel movement.

I haven't had sex since March of 2013 but my significant other and I messed around on 03/05 and I grinded naked along his private area where there was some pre-***.

Then I have to wait another 2 weeks because any further tests within that period would be a waste of time.
