While I impatiently wait for my HIV test results to come back sometime next week (and a bit), I have to wonder if anyone else has had any brushes with 'dem evil STDs?
I'm the neurotic type. I practice safe sex, yet still manage to freak out about the 'what if' factors, like cuts on your fingers, brushing your teeth before sex (bleedy gums), etc etc. Doesn't help when you do some googling and find out that virtually anything can be a symptom, like flakey skin, swollen glands, diarreha, headaches, nausea, so on and so forth. (and for the record, my doctor said I have 'one' swollen gland in my neck! )
It's quite the bitch to be a sexually active 20-something these days (worse for us fruity-types), constantly living under the shadow of said diseases. It's like the western world in the 1960s, always fearing the evil 'communists' every waking hour!
Anyhow, was wondering if anyone else has had any close encounters and/or fuck ups to share. Got anyone pregant? Crabs? Herpes?
Personally, if number has come up and I have to have an STD, I'll take clamydia thank you very much! All it does is make men sterile
