Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help Wink .

I have been having this recurring condition now for about a year and a half. It does not recurr often but has now about three times in about a 2 year peroid.

I get a sore throat which steadily gets worse and then my one or both eyes seem to get a very mucusy covering when I wake up (Also very red as like pink eye).

I am wondering what this may be.

**The eye condition may have started when I accidently rubbed some of my girlfriends vaginal fluid in my eye. Not a mass amount but a small amount. She has been tested for STI's and returned negative but I think maybe only Chlamydia and not possibly herpes.**

Don't Think So.
Read my other post dude. It's a funny thought though. While there are some conjuctivitis conditions related to Hepatitus, they are characterized by pustules (small blisters) surrounding the eyes. When were sick though we acknowledge the illness could be due to anything. If you're worried about your girlfiend's sexual history however, you should contact your local health department as they ususally have free (or cheap) testing for illnesses including chlamydia, syphillis, hepatitus, and others. They can provide counseling and information on methods of safer sex (outside of condom use alone), and means to stay healthy. As the eye is a highly vascularized region, I wouldn't mess around if you have rational worry of being exposed to one of those other infections.
