View allI'm a guy who sleeps with guys and I've been pretty active when it comes to oral and anal sex, sometimes without protection. I noticed I've got these round red rashes on my palms and feet that don't itch, and they've been around for like six months. I tried allergy meds, but they're not going away. Plus, I've started getting these molluscum contagiosum warts on my chest, elbow, and even my anal area. My serology test came back as weakly reactive for the RPRVDRL test. Could these be early signs of an STD? I'm thinking about trying Benzathine penicillin injections. Do you think it's safe, and are there any side effects I should worry about?
