I am a 53-year-old male and I had unprotected genital and oral sex with a female stranger on 10/14. Over 3 weeks later, on 11/05, I was tested for the full spectrum of STD’s; all which came back negative (see results below).
However, within the week following the encounter, I experienced an intense “heat” rash to my face, nose, eyes and eyebrows that resulted in very itchy pustules appearing on my cheeks and the inner rim of my nostrils. With the negative STD test results, what could be the cause of the rash which continues? Though the number of pustules have lessened and are hard to see (lucky for me) they remain itchy and worrisome.
I am just beginning what I hope will be a long-term relationship with a woman and do NOT want to pass anything on to her. Therefore, what could be the cause of this rash? Can I pass it onto her through kissing, for example, or through oral or genital sex? I am currently looking for work, missed the window to sign up for the Affordable Healthcare Act by 4 days and, thus, currently lack insurance. Your advice would be most welcome. Please advise.
Sincerely, Nashville609
