beergin Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 can anyone confirm that erythromycin 500mg 3x a day for 7 days can rid of gonorrhea or chlamydia? Sa alam ko di pwede ito but a fren said that broad spectrum antibiotic naman daw itong erythomycin. Quote Link to comment

Sa alam ko di pwede ito but a fren said that broad spectrum antibiotic naman daw itong erythomycin. your friend is right bro... erythromycin is a broad spectrum antibiotic that is used against a wide variety of gram-positive, gram-negative and atypical microorganisms, including neisseria gonorrhea and chlamydia trachomatis... although there are other drugs that are more effective than erythromycin in treating these conditions... :mtc: Quote Link to comment
beergin Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 thanks for the info bro peterparker Quote Link to comment
mwah Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 (edited) I agree with the coverage of Erythromycin but one has to take it four (not three) times a day or every six hours and the drug can cause very unpleasant gastrointestinal side effects too.

fightclub Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 bro, ano b itsura nung "pimples" na sinasabi mo..? kamukha ba nung nakikita sa mukha or parang bulutong ang dating nya..? masakit b daw siya pag hinawakan or itchy ba...? it can ba just pimples nga, as areas with many sebaceous glands katulad sa pubic area can develop it nga or it can be a manifestation of an STD... :mtc: yes parang pimples dn siya sa muka..hindi nmn siya sa vagina mismo...sna ndi sya std Quote Link to comment
peterparker Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 just to make sure bro, consult with an OB-GYNE para ma-examine siya nang mabuti... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

gilghost Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 when is the best time to test for HIV? 6 months after unprotected sex? Quote Link to comment
peterparker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 when is the best time to test for HIV? 6 months after unprotected sex? Antibody tests may give false negative (no antibodies were detected despite HIV being present) results during the window period, an interval of three weeks to six months between the time of HIV infection and the production of measurable antibodies to HIV seroconversion. Most people develop detectable antibodies approximately 30 days after infection, although some seroconvert later. The vast majority of people (99%) have detectable antibodies by three months after HIV infection; a six-month window is extremely rare with modern antibody testing. During the window period, an infected person can transmit HIV to others although their HIV infection may not be detectable with an antibody test. Antiretroviral therapy during the window period can delay the formation of antibodies and extend the window period beyond 12 months. :mtc: Quote Link to comment
peterparker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 so 3x a day will not help? yup, the recommended interval for erthromycin intake is every 6 hours nga or 4x a day bro... but watch out for the unpleasant side effects nga... discontinue na lang if there are any... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

peterparker Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 (edited) thanks is there such a thing like false positive? if you get a reactive result during the first test should you get another test to reconfirm the results? False positives may be associated with medical conditions such as recent acute illnesses and allergies. HIV antibody tests are highly sensitive, meaning they react preferentially with HIV antibodies, but not all positive or inconclusive HIV tests mean the person is infected by HIV. Risk history, and clinical judgement should be included in the assessment, and a confirmation test (Western blot) should be administered. An individual with an inconclusive test should be re-tested at a later date. :mtc: Edited March 24, 2009 by peterparker Quote Link to comment
zenislev Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 a friend of mine is having an pain in the near tip of his penis in urinating since yesterday but he said he didnt have any sexual intercourse from the past three months.. Is there anything else causing this? is self medication applicable or he really has to go to a specialist? Quote Link to comment

Is there anything else causing this? is self medication applicable or he really has to go to a specialist? how old is your friend ba bro..? this could be the problem : Tip Of The Penis Pain - When your Levator Ani muscle (a muscle that is in your pelvic floor next to the prostate) is in a constant state of tension, it irritates your prostate. Your prostate is close to a large bundle of nerves. One of the nerves is called the Pudendal nerve. This nerve runs from your anus to the tip of your penis. When there is constant contraction and tension by your Pudendal nerve, it sends direct pain signals to your penis tip. This is what causes Penile Pain at the tip of the penis. It can also lead to you having pain around your rear end, making it very hard to sit. to make it simpler, probably when urinating the Pudendal nerve gets irritated by the tension from the pelvic muscle and the prostate gland and it manifests as pain sa tip ng penis... i would suggest nga to seek consult with a urologist, medyo maselan na problem ito kasi... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

peterparker Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 thanks peter so how long should I wait for a reconfirmation test? considering i'm sexually active with several partners and psps i`m assuming you got tested within 3 months after possible exposure bro, so i think you can be re-tested 1 month after the initial test... :mtc: Quote Link to comment

Yes, I agree it has very unpleasant side effects. Palagi kang nakakaheartburn. Parang may tumutusok sa middle ng ribcage mo. Quote Link to comment
defacto Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 so 3x a day will not help? It's better if you get injected Bro. Then, take the course of antibiotics as well para bacteria siguradong tepok. :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
