A LITLE MORE INFO....i was also taking Zyrtec for seasonal allergies....moreover by JUne... I STARTED TO FEEL A BIT OF JOCK ITCH..... THIS HAS SINCE CLEARED WITH A CREAm my urologist gave me.......
SHOULD JOCK ITCH ACCOMPANY PROSTATITIS?
Well, if your prostatitis is being caused by a bacteria, it could be possible that whatever is causing the folliculitis could have infected the prostate, but I'm not quite sure about that.
Lots of things cause cysts for women, and its possible that the bacteria that you have caused her cyst as well.
Have either of you had a herpes test done? Its not sounding much like it, but you should get it done to rule it out. Ask your doctor for a type specific IgG herpes blood test.
This really belongs in the urology forum, and you should follow up with your doctor if you are still getting symptoms.

No, jock itch would be a separate thing, and its not surprising after the antibiotics.

She had the cyst,,, before her and i ever met...... I will definatley get a herpes test done......should i have any concerns about my HIV test....im just concerned b/c my lymphs didnt start to hurt or enlarge until after her and i had unprotected sex
Didn't she test HIV negative? If she did, you have nothing to worry about.
If she didn't have the cyst when you were together, then it has nothing to do with your symptoms.
Aj
yes she was negative.....would my lymphs be activated by prostatitis or jock itch... or my gassy stomach?
she said ths cyst was there before but did not cause her any discomfort....i posted on the urology forum,,,, they said the folliculitus could have entered my bloodstream during unprotected sex....I hope this is the answer and i hope its treatable.....i just want the pain in my lymphs to stop...then i will feel 100% about the HIV thing
You are already 100% about the HIV thing if you both are negative. You really can relax about that.
Any time you have an infection, you can get swollen glands.
I don't know about the bacteria for folliculitis entering your bloodstream during unprotected sex, but you could have gotten the bacteria on your skin at that time, if she had it too.
So far, it sounds like YOU are the one with the infection, not her. I'm doubting seriously that it has anything at all to do with sex.
