I will be out of town for a few days and won't be able to answer questions. If you would like to email me at DWooley97@yahoo.com I will answer you on my return. What's wrong with me? What should I do to prevent getting a disease? These are the kinds of questions I can answer for ladies or men.

Rather than trying to “prescreen” or “serosort” a potential sex-mate with deceptive questions that are impossible to know by today’s technologies, a wiser option may be to consider everyone infected with something, and either use appropriate protective measures (“safer sex”), or accept the responsibility and conseqences of possibly ..... |

Hello Ryan, The lower part of the tip of your penis may be slightly inflammed from rubbing against clothing or your skin. The small reddish or flesh colored bump may be normal, or it may be a small wart
Hello Kevin, Syphilis is a disease that goes through somewhat predictable stages. These stages reflect not only the signs and symptoms of various skin manifestations of disease, but also the laboratory
Hello Alexandria, I don't know what an "STD Panel" is at your doctor's office or lab. These are a panel of tests customized to suit the needs of your particular doctor's office or lab, and is not uniform
Hi GN, I don't quite know why you took such tests as a CBC, ESR, Mantoux, or hepatitis B following mutual masturbation-- or HIV, and VDRL, for that matter!! This is why you should consult with a trusting
