Could penile discharge and hair loss be signs of HIV?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq, and thank you for choosing us as your provider for health care.

I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.

Penile discharge, growth in the throat, and hair fall are not common symptoms of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection. While HIV can weaken the immune system and lead to various health issues, these symptoms are more commonly associated with other conditions. The penile discharge could be a sign of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, or trichomoniasis. It is essential to get tested for STIs if you have had unprotected sex, as early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications.

Growth in the throat could be a symptom of several conditions such as strep throat. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing this symptom, as they can determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment. Hair fall is a common issue that affects many people and can have various causes, including genetics, stress, medication, or underlying medical conditions such as thyroid disorders or alopecia. It is essential to discuss any concerns about hair loss with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment options. While it is possible to contract HIV through unprotected sex, it is essential to remember that HIV transmission is not guaranteed, and most people who have had unprotected sex do not develop HIV. If you are concerned about your risk of HIV or any other sexually transmitted infection, it is best to get tested regularly and practice safe sex practices such as using condoms consistently and correctly.

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
