Mucus Buildup In Throat And Night Sweats? Posted: 07-09-04 07:22am
Ok, had sex with a buy on sunday night-
some oral, some attempt at anal, but
didn't because it was too painful.
By tuesday, I was getting a lot of mucus
build up in my throat - seems to fade over
night, but comes back as the day
progresses.
Thursday night, I woke up with a light
fever, that was bad enough (along with the
anxieties it caused) to keep my up all
night.
Any idea if this could be more indicative
of one disease than another? Going to
make an appt with my doc today to see what
he thinks. Also getting ahold of the guy
to see if he has a history he should have
warned me about.
Any help is appreciated.

I guess it could be many things. Dont
want to scare you but I know those two
symptoms you are having are both symptoms
of acute hiv infection (but I think hiv
symptoms take longer than only 2 days
after infection to show up). Have you
been vaccinated for hepatitis b? Cos I
think some of its symptoms are what you
describe too.
It could be anything though....Most
probably something not even related to
sexual intercourse.....
Hitting the guy up about his sexual
history would probably be the most helpful
thing you could do, followed by visiting
the doctor, which your planning to do
anyways.
Goodluck.

Thanks for the feedback. I saw a
physician's assistant and she took a swab
for gonorrhea. She also agreed that it
seemed like too soon to be hiv, but i'm
going to go back in 8 weeks and get a full
std screening - it's been a long time
since i've had one anyway.
And i'm not stressing so much at the
moment either
