Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had sex with my friend. It was the first sexual intercourse in my life. He tried to insert my erect penis into his anal hole. His anal hole was tight enough so that my penis did not get penetrated. But my penis head touched the skin area in and around his anal hole. My friend donated blood to a blood bank, and he did not get any abnormality call from the blood bank regarding HIV.
After a few days, I experienced itching in my penile head. I removed my foreskin and found red dots along with large white substances. I consulted a dermatologist who prescribed antifungal cream and antibacterial tablets, and it was cured in two days. After two months, I noticed random pain in my arms, thighs, and groin areas for two weeks, and it resolved on its own.
Nowadays, I am finding some inconvenience in my penis. Also, I have experienced an anal fissure. I have had a runny nose after a trip to my favorite place, and occasionally, I find it difficult to breathe.
Are these the symptoms of HIV? Does increased mental stress cause stool to harden? My friend said that he has always had protected (condom) sex with others, has donated blood, and has no HIV infection.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern.
If your friend is HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) negative, there is no chance of HIV acquisition.
The risk of HIV transmission is associated with receptive or insertive intercourse. The likelihood of infection is determined by the fact that whether HIV-infected fluids come in contact with mucus membranes, but in your case, the risk seems to be low.
The symptoms could have various causes. I suggest you get tested for HIV antibodies at the third month of exposure if you are not sure about the exposure. It will also relieve your stress, and you will get to know your status.
I also suggest getting tested for routine urine examination and urine culture sensitivity.
Also, I suggest you get tested for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia infections.
Consistent and correct use of condoms not only gives protection from HIV but also from other STIs.
I hope this helps.
Regards.
