    I had unprotected sex with a girl I just met and after 12 days had a sore throat with no redness or white blotches, nasal congestion with lots of mucus with some blood, both that lasted 5 days then, lost lots of energy with fatigue at end of the 5 days, wanting to sleep all the time but tired all day anyway, total loss of appetite losing 8 lbs, had a 5 inch long 2 inch wide red rash on right thigh with no itching, having a dull headache and tested for mono negative, so what could I have?

      Dear Reader,

      Thank you for your question/comment.

      A more detailed History and Physical along with lab work is warranted in your case to get to a more conclusive diagnosis. Many STI's (Sexually Transmited Infections) can't be distinguished based on signs and symptoms alone and a lot of the times you can contract more than one type of STI during a single unprotected sexual encounter. None the less, your symptoms are somewhat suggestive of Syphilis. I would highly recommend using protection every time during a sexual encounter and a thorough H & P and Lab evaluation now and later to fully diagnose and manage your problems.

      Again, I would like to thank you for your question/comment.

      The following link on the CDC website is a useful informational source regarding various STIs and I recommend that you read and follow the preventive measures recommended there.

      Best Wishes and Regards,

      Sincerely,
      Dr. Harish Malik
