Now since 20th Iam feeling irritation while urinating and some yellow discharge from penis. After going through many blogs and websites it is confirmed that I have some STD for which I will be tested tom and start medication.Also I had 2nd HIV test on 23rd Aug which is also -ve( ELISHA). I need some advice whether I can have HIV after 4 or 6 weeks or 12 weeks. as few sites say that Thumb rule for HIV test is that if done today it gives result on status of 12 weeks prior.
