Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had unprotected sex 2.5 months ago, and after one month, I had a fever and cold. I had undergone an anti-HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) test at 40 and 65 days, and both were negative. The red blood cell count is high in my CBC (CompleteBlood Count) report. After two months, I had two or three rashes on my arms and one on my chest, knees, and armpits. My current condition is that the rash has disappeared, but I still have skin itching, joint pain, and tongue thrush. I take vitamin D tablets daily in the evening. I take the tablet Surbex and Omega 40 mg capsules before dinner, but the pain and tongue thrush have not subsided. Should I undergo the HIV test again?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The test results (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) are negative, meaning you do not have HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). There is no solution to decrease the count. No need for further tests for HIV. I sugget you go for a blood test to rule out HSV (herpes simplex virus), which is also a big cause of the rash. Please have protected sex always. What are your immunoglobulin G, M, and E levels?
