A question about eye infections?


It's pretty gross, but I know two people who contracted the same weird viral eye infection from this girl. They both slept with her. Could this be STD related? One of the guys is definitely getting tested tomorrow. He had the eye infection for about a month and he's making sure that it's cleared up. Could this girl be carrying something?

Both guys have been infected within one month of each other. The first one was clear of pinkeye (which he did have in viral form). I don't know about the other one.

Some STDs like syphillis and gonnorhea can manifest in the eye. Also, a lot of viral infections of the eye are actually transmitted by respiratory secretions. Since they both had sex with her, they were close enough for either.

It's possible that it's an STD but I've never heard of any STDs infecting the eye so it's probably pinkeye (conjunctavitis). It can be spread pretty easily. If he goes to the doctor then they will give him a medicine and it will clear up in a couple days. If he doesn't go to the doctor it will just get worse. I just had it this weekend.

they guy will know soon enough, but she could have herpes. I AM NOT A DR. this is just a guess. best thing to do is seek prefessional help.

Conjunctivitis aka: Pink eye is very contagious. Kids are sent home from school so it won't be spread.

I agree with every one it sounds like pink eye and is very contagious.they need to visit the Doctor and be treated for this .
