Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I had unprotected intercourse last month, and I recently noticed small red spots on the head of my penis. I applied an over-the-counter antifungal cream and had some relief. I checked my weight and noticed that I had lost four kilograms. My weight went down from 171.96 lbs to 163.62 Lbs. Maybe because I am not eating well. Also, I have not been circumcised. I am worried because of my recent weight loss. I am not experiencing other symptoms, such as night sweats, swollen lymph glands, cough, or nausea. I am concerned about the red spots on my penis. Can it be HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)?
Please help me.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query and understand your concern. The chances of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) transmission by unprotected intercourse once are very low. And if the other person is HIV-negative, there is no chance of transmission. I suggest you undergo an HIV antibody test immediately and after three months of exposure. This will help you to be at peace. I hope this has helped you out.
Thanks and regards.
