Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had sex before 20 days and the condom broke. This last week I have had mild flu-like symptoms such as a sore throat and today I have a mouth ulcer. Flu symptoms and mouth ulcers are symptoms of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) at early stages. This is what I have understood from what I have read on the internet. I read that 80 % of people after 2 to 4 weeks have my symptoms. Please help me. Am I at high risk?
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.
A possibility is there, not denied, but flu may be seasonal. The ulcer may be due to folic acid deficiency. Take tablet Azee (Azithromycin) 500 mg once per day for three to five days, tablet Montek (Montelukast) 10 mg once at night for five days. For ulcer, locally apply Emjela or Stomela (Choline salicylate) any gel three times before food, tablet Ultrafolcin (Folic acid and Niacinamide) two times a day for seven to ten days. Capsule A to Z, one at night for ten to fifteen days. Take plenty of liquids. You can go for ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) on the seventh to tenth day, RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) on 15th day, fourth generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immuno Assay) KIT test on the 28th day. Anyone you can take. The last one is very accurate. If the test comes negative, means no HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection.
