What Causes Mucus Discharge In The Stools?
Hey, i was wondering. I know i was dumb for doing this, but i am learning my lesson. I had protected anal intercourse with 4 different guys. But unprotected oral sex with them as well. None of which had ejaculated inside my mouth.
This all occurred roughly from 2-4 months ago.
Recently, about a month ago, i started getting mucus in my stool, and on and off diarrhea and pencil-shaped stool.
I was wondering if this had anything to do with contracting HIV or an STD, or is it more along the lines of IBS? Please help, im freaking out.
Thank you.

Hello,
Mucous and blood in stills may be due to dysentery or diarrhea or due to mucosal irritation around the anus. For sexually transmitted disease like herpes, gonorrhea or syphilis may be present like this.
Get stool examination is done and check for blood investigation for retroviral diseases. Use tablet Oflox Ornidazole twice a day for five days.
If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor so that he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
