Please someone tell me i’m just being paranoid!!!

I havent slept all night thinking about this. I was in walgreens last night reading the back of some monistat and it said “Yeast infections could be caused by contact with HIV” so i’m like OMG ***!!!!! Everytime after I have *** (which is protected) I get a yeast infection. I went to the doctor for it the first time and she took some of my vaginal fluid or as I call it “vaggiie cheese” and she said well it’s not that much so it could just be irritation. Sooooo I was suppost to make an appointment with the gynocologist but only the male doctor is in until March. & Idk about anyone else but I’m not really comfy with some guy looking into my coochie professional or not I’ve seen some weird movies. & I don’t really think it’s per-say a yeast infection. I think it’s irritation. It’s barely any “vagiie cheese” and it just itches like wooow. No burning and I don’t have any HIV symptoms and the dude I’m with doesn’t even have health insurance. No job and no health insurance he can’t afford HIV medication. I searched his house up and down and I found no HIV related medication (i know the medications because some people in my family have it) soo pleeaassee someone just tell me im being paranoid :’( I’m about to go to a clinic that’s not even open yet!!!

    Chill gurl.. Yeast infection occurs mostly amongst women.. Sometimes they done even know its yeast infection.
    Yeast infection can be cured by antibiotics…
    Have a balanced diet girl.. and proper medicines then u can cure it…
    If it comes back again then u have to get the meds again..

    1. CHILL YOU DONT HAVE HIV what you are experiencing if it is everytime after protected *** is the same thing i have gotten before
    it is a allergic reaction to the latex in the condom, you need to get the brands that actually say on there packageing -for ultra sensitive skin other wise the problem will persist and everytime u will get the yest infection and become paranoid that you have a disease you donot have
    2. theeee absolute 110 percent BEST medication you can get is from your obgyn and **** i cant remember the exact name of it but it is a powder and i want to say it is –nystop or nytopical i cant be exact bcuz it is abreviated on my bottle
    but dude talk about relief it stops the itching like you wouldnt believe u just call up the gyn and tell them you want the white powder that you cant remember the name but you think it is nystopical or something similar i do it all the time and they always no what i am talking about and i have instant relief the packaging label on the hiv is something that is printed on all of female products that are for this but dont worry your alright your just sensitive to latex

    Yeast infections are common but they have a cause–and are sometimes misdiagnosed. People (men and women) who have HIV infection are at higher risk than others for yeast infections; they have them more often and more intensely. The package labeling of the antifungal cream has to put that info on the label because they are required to do so by the FDA. It is to help discourage people from self-diagnosing and self-treating themselves when they might have bigger problems that can affect more people.

    Women can get yeast infections repeatedly if they have high blood sugar,
    If their partner has yeast growing on him (or her, in the case of ******* and bi women) –and many men have creepy crawlies on their “equipment” but don’t have symptoms and pass things around (like human papillomavirus, for instance)
    Women can get irritations that seem like yeast infections from using latex condoms, diaphragms, and antifungal yeast infection products themselves. So if you are frequently getting yeast infections but using a condom, you may want to try a polyurethane condom– they are much more expensive though.
    Taking antibiotics for a prolonged time can result in a yeast infection because of an imbalance of microorganisms in the body.
    If you are very moist down there because of a natural discharge that may happen during certain times during your cycle–like ovulation. Wear panty shields to keep dry during this time.

    Besides using an antifungal cream (or a prescription for an antifungal pill) if your doc recommends, you might try eating good quality yogurt or taking acidophilus supplements (the stuff that yogurt is made out of). Limit eating sweet things, try to use a barrier method for *** that isn’t made of latex or has strong chemicals in it, and use panty shields to absorb moisture.

    Male ob/gyns are not better or worse than female ob/gyns so don’t let a docs gender keep you from getting care.
