Does sore throat and diarrhea after intercourse means HIV?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It does not appear to be HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). The symptoms of HIV will be entirely different, and you also tested negative. But if you still have doubts, then you can retest.

Getting a sore throat after sex is probably a coincidence, and a sore throat after taking cold items is possible. It is due to the multiplication of the bacteria. To avoid this, try to stop taking cold items, and even if you do consume them, then eat them gradually and avoid direct contact of cold items with the throat. Let it get a little warm in the mouth before swallowing it. You can also try betadine gargles, three to four times a day, once you get the feeling of a sore throat. It will prevent the multiplication of bacteria or viruses.

Diarrhea is mostly due to indigestion. Do you consume a lot of milk products, chickpeas, etc.? Do you also have upper abdominal pain, bloating, burping, nausea, vomiting, etc? I suggest you try doing the following-

1. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and start the medication after their consent.
2. Take the tablet Albendazole 400 mg at bedtime once, and repeat after two weeks.
3. Take tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg before breakfast, once daily for two weeks.
4. Syrup Aristozyme (a combination of Diastase, Pepsin, and Simethicone), take two teaspoons once daily for two weeks for better digestion.
5. You should avoid fatty, oily, and spicy food.
6. Consume a lot of green leafy vegetables and fruits.
7. Do regular exercise and go for a walk after meals.

You can consult a primary care physician.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

HIV tests have a very high sensitivity. It is highly unlikely that you have HIV. Diarrhea will not respond to fasting; it will continue regardless of whether one has food or not. Also, it is unlikely that HIV patients in a family have only diarrhea and no other symptoms. Patients with HIV will be very sick, and diarrhea will occur 10 to 15 times, loose, significant weight loss, say 11 to 22 pounds in a month, fever and many other symptoms. Digestive problems are very common, and it is possible that two people in the same family have them, especially worm infestation. How many times do you people need to use the toilet? Is it a loose or well-formed stool? Is there any abdominal pain? Any factors that increase or decrease the stools? Although it will be difficult, try to get your wife tested for CBC (complete blood count), HIV, liver and kidney function test, stool routine test and thyroid test.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

So, I do not think it is diarrhea. It is just a matter of bowel habits and a change in stool due to food. It is indeed not related to HIV. For feeling cold in the night, just get one thyroid test done. From the symptoms, it is not HIV. As both tests are negative, the chance of HIV is almost nil. These tests are highly sensitive.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

No ulcer, per se, is not caused by HIV but by other sexually transmitted diseases, which often accompany HIV. Where exactly is the ulcer on the shaft or glans penis? Is it painful or painless, single or multiple ulcers? Was there any vesicle before the ulcer? Does your wife have a similar ulcer now or in the past, or any white discharge? I guess there has been no exposure to outside sex in recent times. The various possibilities are syphilis, herpes or a few other infections. You should get your VDRL test for syphilis and serology for HSV2. I will suggest the treatment after tests, or at least with the details of complaints, so that I can have an idea about the diagnosis.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
