Who can help me with a STD problem, probably affecting my respiratory system?
Hey,
about myself: I´m 25 years old, male and I have sex with other males. I don´t suffer from any other diseases except the symptoms I will be naming. I practise sports on a regular basis (20km jogging / week). BMI: 22,8.
Since about two years I have been suffering from different symptoms. I have been to a general practitioner, dermatologists, a proctologist and urologists. I have not been diagnosed with anything.
The symptoms:
- glans: change of skin from smooth to wrinkly / rough; reddening mostly at the slit; infrequently a short sharp pain from inside urinary passage; no pain when peeing
- bottom : itching anus; reddening; occasionally a little blood on the toilet paper; occasionally feeling of pressure deeper inside (difficult to locate exactly)
- throat : dry; reddening; slightly bloody slime; regularly balls of purulence in the slime (1-6 mm)
- feet, toes and hands: ongoing problems with athletes foot. Not sure if there is any connection to the other problems, but it got worse at the same time as everything else occurred
- thorax: these symptoms are most annoying; dry cough, ongoing feeling of dryness; very sensitive to air conditioning / heating; no difficulties in breathing
- eyes: dry (mostly in the morning); no reddening
- generally: exhaustion; all symptoms become worse after alcohol consumption or eating sugar
Recently I began salt water inhalation with a vaporizer. It helps with all the symptoms (even bottom and glans) except the feet, toes and hands, if performed regularly.
I have been tested negative for syphilis, HIV, chlamydia and gonorrhoea. However I am still concerned about a chlamydia infection and wonder whether a test result could be influenced by the fact that the infection might have been caused a longer time ago. I assume that it would be a STD, because at the time the symptoms occurred, I had many sex partners and performed “deep throat” on a regular basis.
On my bottom I have had treatments because of haemorrhoids, which did not affect the symptoms.
Two sex partners from the last couple of moths complained about similar symptoms, particularly in the respiratory system, which is why I fear a risk of contagion and perform even oral sex only with condoms.
I wonder what my problem could be and would be very grateful for any advice.

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
