Im 18 and I've got a question that's been really bothering me. I often masturbate and once this thought hit me: if I accidentally swallow my own sperm, can that give me STDs like AIDS? I've never had sex before, so Im still a virgin. And what about someone who's sexually activeif they swallow their own sperm and have bleeding gums or something, could they get AIDS that way? This whole idea is kind of stressing me out.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but swallowing your own sperm does not transmit HIV or other STDs. HIV is primarily spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids during unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child. Bleeding gums or mouth sores can increase the risk of transmission in sexual situations, but this is not a concern with your scenario. If you're feeling distressed, it may help to talk to a healthcare provider for further support.

I've been having this really bad pain in the glans of my penis, right when I start and finish urinating. It's like normal when I'm just going about my day, no pain or anything, but as soon as I pee, it's unbearableit makes me stop mid-flow. The pain kind of eases up during the flow but as it slows down to just drops at the end, that's when it hits me hard. It's honestly the worst pain I've felt. I had a UTI not too long ago and took some meds like Norflex, Cyclopam, and Citralka syrup, and it seemed like I was okay for a bit. Could this be related, or is it something different? I've been drinking a ton of water, but its not helping. Also, I'm not quite sure if it's truly in the glans or maybe through the urethra, but it sure feels like it's around there. Any idea what might be going on?
Since the pain has persisted and is quite severe, it would be a good idea to consult a urologist for a thorough evaluation.
