about blinking white spots, stars occasionally, and floaters

[nicky663]

Hi i am 27 years old. I am facing the problems like occasionally i can see stars around my eye and i can always see white dots moving around my eyes when i focus against white surface walls or sky and also am having floaters. since 4 years they increased gradually in number and size. One of my local doctor has told that you might be having AIDS four years ago. But i checked HIV Negative and my CD4 count status is 945 before 4 months from current date . I checked for luminous bacterias like Vibrio cholerae from websites and took Nor Flox 400mg 6 tabs and i also took Acyclovir for the treatment for HSV2 as self medication but still i can see white dots and floater around my eye. So please help me in this regard and i don't want to infect other people including my family in any way. For this i am thinking of staying alone.
waiting for your soon responses, THANKING YOU in advance.

I am not going to comment on this further. Discuss with your personal MD and your eye MD

Doctor, I can see both floaters and flying corpuscles. CMV can easily transmits from one person to another easily as i learned. Please tell me the suitable medicine to at least to prevent transmission.

There is no reason to disbelieve what your MDs told you about having not having CMV.  Only a miniscule number of floaters are due to CMV and its pretty easy to diagnose.

Sir Please help me how to check for the presence of CMV retinitis. And its symptoms. If present medicine to deal with it. Because as i studied floaters and flying corpuscles are the symptoms of CMV retinitis. I went to hospital for checking up of CMV retinitis. They checked my eye with opthalmoscope and said i don't have CMV retinitis.

This is not a forum for discussing aids. There is one. Go there.

Doctor,
  Thank you for your suggestions. I don't think the problem can be negligible in any way.
Please provide me the medicinal drugs to reduce or zero the number of white moving  dots those i can see in the blue field. I am noticing the things like people in my family are getting fever, loss weight and becoming diabetic (especially my mother) after when i started noticing these things(floater and white moving dots). Am thinking that unknowingly am spreading the disease.

And Please answer the following questions
1.For how long HIV is detectable with the common test after possible exposure.
2.Medication for aids.

I think you are likely seeing entopic phenomena which are normal visual images the eye generates (like the noise a motor makes when it runs). First read the section on entopic phenomena at www.widipedia.com   I believe you are seeing the "flying corpusle" or bluefield effect. Those are blood cells circlating in your retina.

Larger things that float in the visual field are usually vitreous floaters. You can use the search feature to read about entoptic phenomena and see how many people see them. I can see them now in the blue background of my monitor.

See a good Eye MD ophthalmologist. Its most likely you have common floaters and the tiny white racing points are entopic phenomena.
