Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 28-year-old man. I had protected sex, but the condom broke, and I ejaculated inside. The sex was about four minutes, and I am unsure when it happened. After six to seven days, I saw white blisters on my penis. I also experienced a slight fever that lasted one or two days. I saw a STD expert who diagnosed my condition as a fungal infection and prescribed me medication and oil. He also suggested getting an HIV test after six weeks. At the four-week point, I completed my first test. It turned out negatively. Additionally, I performed an HIV P24 AB AG test six weeks after the encounter, and the results were also negative. I have shown the doctor that report. He also told me that the test was negative and that I did not have HIV. After two months, though, my concern returned. Hence, at the five-month point, I underwent an HIV P24 AB AG test at the same facility where I had previously experienced a six-week difficulty. The result was negative. I was able to confirm that I did not have the fatal illness, so I could leave the dread behind and move on. I experienced a fever of 103 degrees Celsius in the seventh month, which persisted for around three days. Once more, the fear began to grow. Even though my test returned negative, I am once again terrified and unable to determine my situation. Could you kindly advise whether I should retake the same difficulty or a different one? Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

The results of each test are normal means—no HIV infection. Symptoms appear, but infection results do not agree that it is HIV. Be calm because the fourth-generation tests are negative. Symptoms May appear for any other cause. Consult any skin and venereal disease specialist with theirs. Fourth-generation Kit tests are very reliable. The possibility of a venereal disease exists. Started Long-term basis treatment as it was a constant disease.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
