Question:

 

I am a gay male who had unprotected anal sex with another man whose HIV status is unknown.

I developed all the classic ARS symptoms starting 3 weeks after the exposure. My symptoms included loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, maculopapular rash on my upper arms and stomach, oral lesions, white gums, and thrush. The flu-like symptoms lasted about a week; however, the white gums, thrush, and rash are still present over 5 months later.

I had negative PCR DNA tests at 23 and 145 days, and negative EIA's at 14, 66, 86, 121, and 145 days.

Due to condition and the nature of my symptoms should I continue testing or can I consider myself negative? The chronic oral thush and rash on my upper arms have me concerned.

I appreciate your answer

Question:

 

Hi,
3 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex with a man I met online. I am not sure of his HIV status. I gave and received. Like I said I do not know if he has HIV, and I am not experiencing symptoms, but now I am still worried that I have contracted HIV. My questions are:
1) I tested negative for gonorrhoea/chlamydia. Is this a good sign? I have heard that the presence of other STDs increase the chances of transmission. True or false?
2) He did not ejaculate in my mouth, and I'm not sure about pre-ejaculation but there could have been some. Does this effect my chances?
3) I brushed my teeth and used alcohol-free mouthwash about 30 minutes before. I have heard that this can create little cuts which can facilitate HIV transmission. Is this true? I have generally good oral hygiene with no bleeding gums
4) I had a bit of mucus at the back of my throat (I didn't have a sore throat or a cold) and his penis went somewhat deep into my throat a couple of times briefly. Would the mucus facilitate HIV transmission in this case?
I am very worried, and I plan on getting tested within the next couple of weeks, but I would like to know the answers to these questions just for some peace of mind
Thank you very much for your help

Question:

 

I recently gave birth and was left with a small tear that didn't require stitching. After i was offered a bath, just before getting in the bath i noticed what i think was a blood clot floating around in it (i assume it was left because the bath had been drained and not rinsed properly after the person before me used it, when it was refilled with the clot still in there). I was still bleeding from my tear when i got in the water. Is there a risk of HIV or anything else (hepatitis?) being transferred from the blood clot into my tear or would the water of killed anything present in the clot? Thank you

Question:

 

Hi Doctor, 
 
10 wks in ago,I had protected oral sex with a csw in bali (highly positive, I checked the Bali statistic 1 in 4 csw have HIV), I was scared to death. After 10mins of protected oral sex, I proceeded to try penetrative sex (intercourse) while using the SAME condom, I try rubbing my penis on her vagina but my penis went soft (due to anxiety), I might have only dipped more than half of my penis head into vagina 10sec, but I did try a few times to penetrate, but I can't because my penis became soft, there was clearly vaginal fluids at the opening of the vagina, and when I tried to masturbate to make my penis hard,as I was doing so, I ejaculated in the condom, I am not sure whether the condom broke or did it have small holes caused by oral sex. 
 
After that I removed the condom with my fingers, as I was doing so, my fingers touched the tip of the condom, and I did the stupiest thing I can ever imagine, I touched my penis head with the same fingers because I wanted to remove some semen from my penis head, I immediately put dettol instant hand sanitiser all over my penis, I stuffed dettol alcohol rub into my urethra. (WHO states alcohol rubs that contain more than 60% alcohol kills HIV virus). would I have stuffed some HIV virus into my urethra? 
 
Symptoms I experienced: 
after 6 wks: sore throat (1w) 
 
after 7 wks: fever&headache&nausea (3d), night sweats (4d) 
 
after 8 wks: dry mouth (5day) 
 
after 10 wks: red rashes, reddish spots, which are itchy at first but the itchiness were gone after an hour, 10spots on my left elbow, 5spots on my right elbow, 7spots on my left legs, 5spots on my right leg, these spots seemed quite symmetrical. I went to the consult a skin specialist, the doctor told me it was mite bites, which I couldn't understand, how could mite bites be so symmetrical? these rashes are still with me for 10days and still existing. 
 
What are the chances of condom breakage in my case? if leakage, what is the chances of HIV infection?
 
1. Based on my case, what if the condom didn't obviously broke but due to the oral sex, her teeth might have caused small holes or small tears on the condom, What are the chances of HIV infection if there were small holes on the condom while I tried penetrating her a few times and rubbed my penis head against her wet vagina a few times? 
 
2. After I removed the condom using my fingers by pulling the tip of the condom (where the penis head is) I clearly felt there was vagina fluids on my fingers, because my fingers felt wet, and using the exact same fingers I touched my penis head immediately, would that cause HIV infection? 
 
3. While having some vagina fluids on my penis head (from my fingers), I stuffed considerable amount of Dettol instant hand sanitizer (alcohol rub) into my urethra, would this particular move caused HIV infection or increase the chances of getting HIV infected? 
 
4. I forgot to mention that after the incident, I noticed a 3cmX2cm diameter fresh cut wound on my left leg which looked fresh because there was clearly fresh blood covering the wound. I was so afraid, I don't know when did I cut myself (but I am quite certain I did NOT have this particular wound BEFORE going to the brothel) Or maybe the csw might have purposely gave me a cut (to transmit HIV) while performing oral sex and I wasn't aware at that moment. I might sound overly paranoid, but What is the chances of getting HIV infected if my scar came in contact with her blood or her vagina fluids? 
 
5. I experienced almost every early symptoms related to HIV infection, and especially the rash made me worried the most, these red spots suddenly appeared together symmetrically on both side of my elbows and symmetrically both side of my legs, and these spots are still on my body for 10 days, how can there be such a coincidence? At 1st they are dark red in colour, but now they look dark brown, what are the chances of NOT being infected but experiencing all these symptoms? based on your expertise, have you ever encounter someone which experienced all these symptoms but tested NEGATIVE for HIV? 
 
Thank you so much for your time, really appreciate it.

Question:

I was recently having protected sex and mid way through realised the condom had come off and had gotten lost inside me. I had to really search for it to bring it out and when I did there was fluid inside. I totally freaked out and am trying not to get to anxious about what may result from this accident. what are the chances of contracting hIV or any other STI for that matter in this instance?
