STDs in the eyes.

[cdnmatt]

Ok, this is awkward as hell, but I hate doctors, and everyone here happens to be knowledgable about gay sex, so let's give it a shot.

Hypothetically, if someone gives you a facial and they have some type of STD themselves, can that infect your eye? If so, is it something that will naturally go away, or do I need to take this more seriously than I am?

For days now, I can barely open my one eye, and when I do force it open, you can see the blood. I look like a one-eyed goblin, but there's no discomfort at all, so I'm hoping it's just a popped blood vessel and will clear itself in a few days. Aside from that, all I can think of is either a STD of some kind, or gecko shit maybe, but that doesn't make sense either.

You should go to see a doctor as soon as possible to get a professional diagnosis and treatment.
Are you worried about confidentiality? Then why post your problem on the world wide web?
You are worried about the doctor's competence? Why are you asking a bunch of bar flies instead of someone who has probably dealt with the problem before or someone who can refer you to a specialist.
If you have an infection it will easily transfer to the other eye. If you go blind then your life is ruined.
Go to see a doctor and get it treated ... and do it today.

Gross. And how does a 6 year old get pubic lice in his eyes? Uncle gave him a facial, or what?

Anyway, it it takes 10 - 14 days to mature, then yeah, that would make sense in my case. Went to the hospital today, was told the eye doctor is on vacation for New Years, and to come back Monday, so see what happens then.

I've become accustomed to having two eyes though, so hopefully it's nothing too serious. I don't think it is though, or at least doesn't feel like it.

If that was an STI of the eye look on the bright side.....at least you saw it coming :-)

[cdnmatt]

Yeah, hopefully it clears itself, but if not, eye doctor will be back at work in the KK Ram private hospital here Monday I guess.

I've honestly only had sex with two people in the past couple years. I've asked both of them, and they both said they've been tested and have no STDs, so who knows.

My teeth are already fucked, and now one eye is as well. At the moment, I look as beautiful as this little guy.

I've asked the question re cum in the eyes cos tears are bodily fluids of course. You may have an eye infection from contaminated water for instance. Twice I've had bloodshot looking eyes after returning from a well known Bangkok hotel. The last time my partner got the same; I blame the shower water. My pharmacist gave me eye lotion which worked both times. I'm in a quandary now cos the boys are so cute in this venue and shared showering is part of the appeal so maybe eyes shut showering but that defeats the main purpose.

Eye is still pretty fucked, albeit getting better. However, I think that's exactly what I have. Pubic lice in the eye. Pulled one of them out of my eye tonight, and he was about 2x3mm in size, which is huge to be buried in your eye. I looked at it closely under a light, seen it's little legs spinning out of control, then searched for "pubic lice" on Google Images, and I'm 95% certain that's what I have.

So lesson learnt, be careful of your short time rooms fellas. You never know what the mattresses and pillows contain, as I'm assuming that's where it came from.

Fuck, now I have to get my head shaved bald, plus actually have to see the doctor because from what I researched what I need isn't available over the counter. I hate doctors.

Matt, no offence meant, but I suggest that the more likely source of your infestation was via your sexual partner rather than the bedding.

It is possible to catch pubic lice from bedding/towels used by a "carrier" but direct personal contact is far more likely.

Yeah, you're right, it was more than likely one of two partners. There were a couple others I was with previously, but it was too long ago for it to be them. So it was either one of those two, or the hotel itself. After all, it is a curtain hotel with probably 200 rooms, and the entire reason it was built was for sex, so... it could have just as easily came off the mattress as well. Who knows, doesn't really matter.

I think after getting my head shaved bald as a pre-caution, maybe I should head to the temple and get some strings tied around my wrist to "wow" the locals in the area. Head shaved, plus strings on the wrist meaning I've been blessed, so kick ass... might as well do what I can to turn it into a positive.
