  • Planned Parenthood is free. Your PCM or an urgent care clinic could run around $200? I think? They’ll probably run an RPR test to confirm after hearing your history. +/- $40 for pharmacy if you’re positive or negative.

    Some signs of syphilis (you don’t need to answer these):
    Did you ever get a painless chauncer (ulcer lookin thing) on the head of your penis?
    Did you ever get a painless rash or sore on your palms?

    Additional symptoms include fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, patchy hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue. These are usually late symptoms.


  • If you’re allergic to penicillin, you’ll most likely get doxycycline 100mg tabs twice per day for 10-14 days. The other alternative is clindamycin injections for 10-14 days… which they probably don’t want to do.

    Definitely get checked. Go to Planned Parenthood or your PCM or something.

    Edit: also worth looking into WHEN you got diagnosed with an allergy to penicillin. Many children have to take it at some point and break out in hives but it’s a transient allergy during childhood.

    An allergy panel can sort it all out.
