Hello,

It looks like you have acquired Gonococcal Arthritis (STD). Visit ER, at the earliest, get examined by a PCP. You will have to go through a few tests like throat culture, urine, blood examinations along with STD tests. Get evaluated, get treated.

In the meantime abstain from sex, avoid multiple partners. Stay away from addictions if any, take care of hygiene. You need antibiotics/antivirals. Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the infection. Get treated complications may cause risk of HIV/AIDS.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K,
