Dear Doctor
I sexed with a girl first time unprotected and many times protected. Also two times receive blow jobs and kissing many times. After three months of sex I felt serious tention abt HIV infection when I caught cold and Flue like diseases. I recovered from that. Due to the tention I started to feel burning at the time of bowl movement outer side of rectum and still continuing the burning.After six months I stopped sex with her and tested HIV (immunology) and result Negative.Then After one year of starting time of sex I tested CBC, Gram Stain, VDRL, Anti HCV, Colonoscopy but no infection found. But often I feel flue type diseases and still burning after bowlmovement is continuing. I am afraid of HIV Infection.
Doctor would you please suggest me what to do?
Dear doc, pl with your permission, I may wish to add a few comments, probably the test was not a duo as its not fda approved in US, also if it was a standard ab test then at 47 days thats around 7weeks he is almost 95 percent assured of a negi, so i guess doc as you have reassured mr 54 is almost conclusively negi, as its highly remote for someone to seroconvert past 6 weeks after initial infection.
Hi, there!
Thank you for your long and detailed story. First of all I would like to reassure you with the fact that none of the encounters were particularly risky in regards of HIV infection, except obviously the unprotected penetrative with your girlfriend. There is no real risk from oral sex (certainly none from receiving a blowjob), kissing or sharing a joint. All the other penetrative encounters were safe as you used a condom. Now I am going to answer your questions as follows:
1. I know symtoms are never a dignosis but are they consistant with HIV, mine and my girlfriends? SOME OF THEM COULD BE, BUT THEY COULD ALSO BE TYPICAL OF HUNDREDS OF OTHER CONDITIONS
2. Can symtoms happen after 8 or more weeks? NOT TYPICALLY AS ACUTE HIV SERO-CONVERSION SYMPTOMS NORMALLY HAPPEN BETWEEN 2 AND 6 WEEKS AFTER INFECTION, LASTING ONLY A FEW DAYS
2. can an anal abcess or anal fishtula effect the accuracy of an hiv test or weaken my ammune system enouf? NOT AT ALL
3.How reliable is my 47 day hiv test for the unprotected vaginal? IF THIS TEST WAS A DUO OR A COMBO, TOTALLY RELIABLE; IF IT WAS AN ANTIBODY TEST ONLY, HIGHLY RELIABLE AND REASSURING, BUT NOT FULLY CONCLUSIVE
4. Can I get hiv from smoking a cigar blunt with someone HIV+ if I have a open cut?
NOT AT ALL
5. How likely can someone get hiv from haveing a rip/tear on the side of the mouth(it like when you open you mouth and you open it too wide it tears on the side) and kisssing someone with hiv I kissed for 2 min and maybe 1 min the second time and 2 times and getting unprotected oral 2 times from the same person. Oral the 1st time was 5 min the second time no more then 10.
NO RISK AT ALL OF HIV INFECTION
6. How likly or whats my risk or chances form my story???
NO RISK OF HIV INFECTION AT ALL WHATSOEVER
Best wishes,
Dr Jose
