What are my chances of getting HIV or STDs?

Question 1
What are my chances of getting HIV or STDs?...  Im a male, 18, living in northern utah. In the past two years I've had unprotected anal sex (receiving) with 4 men, all of them between 18-20. None of the guys we're HIV positive, or had STDs from what they said. I don't have any symptoms of STDs; however, six months ago I was positive for mono, which is a fairly common virus. My lymph nodes became swollen and now most of them have decreased in size except a couple small ones on the back of my neck and one under my jaw. Also, I got a root canal infection from a root canal done four years ago, and the infection hasn't left after a dose of antibiotics.

I'm going to get tested this week, but are my chances extremely high? What's the statical likely hood of me having an incurable disease from four anal sex (receiving) encounters in my age group, also two of the individuals were white, the other two hispanic. And could HIV breed in the lateral canals of my gums and cause an infection in my root canal? This is causing me tons of anxiety! I know now I will always use a condom!

Answers
1)   You better just hope those partners are honest. If they were, you have nothing to worry about. - Lin-z

2)   I'd say your in a very high risk group. Just because they said they were clean doesn't mean anything. I think your looking too much into the root canal. HIV needs white blood cells to breed. Did you feel okay after getting banged? If you got HIV you'd feel flu like symptoms for about 2 weeks. - KILDYOURFAMILYQUIETLY

3)   Your risk is low. Per wikipedia, for every 10000 acts of receptive anal intercourse, there are somewhere between 50 and 170 HIV infections caused.

Since you're going to get tested in a few days, try not to obsess about your chances, and just wait until you know either way. Also realize that unless you've avoided sex for the last several months, a negative result now doesn't mean much, as it can take some time between when you get infected and when antibodies first show up (which is what the test actually looks for).

Good luck, and definitely use those condoms from now on, every time! - NoraCat

4)   Which part of modern sexuality in this day and age is it that has evaded you for some reason?

USE PROTECTION, STUPID ! - STEVE

5)   anyone can say they don't have STD's, and sometimes they might and not know it. Unless you know for sure exactly where these guys have been, you can't know. Not trying to freak you out, but there's no way to know til you get tested... you have just as much of a chance as anyone that has had unprotected sex. - ♠Mrs Reznor♠

Question 2
Nine month cold... Any ideas?...  I am 14 and the past 6-9 months I have had some cold type symtoms and it's has been very weird. I live in Utah and it started in September which is still pretty hot. I am not alergic to anyhing and before this I hardly ever sneezed. But now sneezing is really common and mucus really just comes out. I know that is discusting for some but now it seams to just flow out. Another wierd thing is about a 2 weeks ago I had a cold type actual cold but It lasted for 3 weeks. If there is any more info I need to give you guys then just tell me, I want a simple diganois from what you have heard or need to hear. I just want to know if anyone has had anything like his and what it is becuase it is killing me so to speak.

Answers
1)   Unless you've been tested you won't know if you are allergic to anything or not. This sounds like allergies, "hay fever" which means you are reacting to pollen in the air. Take Benadryl or Sudafed and see if they help. And you should see a doctor. - scotsladye

2)   I was just about to suggest something for allergies, but u say you have none...Big personal question are u sexually active? if yes maybe u should get tested for any STD's and HIV/AIDS...don't mean to scare u but it's best you get help soon God bless u hope all gets better... - tornboots@sbcglobal.net

Question 3
is it mens breast cancer?...  im 15 and one of my nipples hurts when touched and feels like there is a lump in the middle...only on one side just on the nipple and the lump is inside it...mens breast cancer?

Answers
1)   Common occurrence in young males. It will go away. If it persists, like for three months or more, see the doc. - STEVE

2)   It's possible. Did you go surfing or cut it or do anything else to your chest? Also, how long has this been going on. Whatever you do, don't freak out. It could be something, but just go to your doctor and tell him/her. You'll be fine, your young. - Nick

3)   if it hurts, it is probably not a tumor.Cancerous tumors are usually hard and do not hurt to touch. it might be a blocked duct or gland of some sort - ♠Mrs Reznor♠

Question 4
I Have blackheads and big pores, does anyone know how to get rid of them?...  I have blackheads on my nose and t-zone, I hate it. I have big pores too, i don't know if that's why I have bad blackheads, but I really want to get rid of them. I don't want to use that face wash blackhead stuff because I've tried it and it made me breakout. I just need something like pore repairer or something?

Answers
1)   you need to wash your face with warm water, not hot, with a facewash with moistorizers in it with a terry cloth wash closth and gently rub the facewash into your skin until it gets nice and foamy. you can also get that thing i forget who makes it i think neutragena, where it vibrates and foams up a good lather on your skin. then rinse the wash off your face with warm water thoroughly, then rinse again with cool water. this will close your pours so dirt can't get in there and you wont get bad blackheads. they make a facial cream to minimize pours as well. i don't know what brands as i dont use a pour minimizer. - Tracy S

2)   ma cuzzin suffers frm da same problem. this mite sound nasty but washes her face wid soap n warm water and pat dries it and then applies a mask of mayo (jus mayo) n leaves on her face for 15 mins n then rinses wid jus warm water n pat dries again. she has seen big improvement too. - DJ kEn LovEr
