stop googling stuff..it only makes you worry for no reason...you can test if u want to but expect a big fat negative...
Ok - the ONLY reason I am worried - the single, only reason - is because I have this "tingling" feeling down there which leads me to believe this yeast infection is not going away, despite prescription strength treatment. Which is terrifying me because a persistent yeast infection is scary (Google it!) Other than that I am fine, no ARS symptoms, no fever, no rash, no anything else. Just this damn weird yeast infection. I am going to test at 6 and 8 weeks, and if it is negative, I guess I can move on.
a yeast infection in hiv positive person occurs late in the illness..not as early as described as you..
dont worry you are allright..i have no idea why ur doc wants u to get retested??!??!??
you are allright...DONT WORRY :)
Thanks for helping - I ask because it is weird for me to get a yeast infection. I have gotten them in the past but not for many years. The last time I had one or recurrent ones that lasted on/off for like 3 months (this was 10 years ago) and my OB at the time (a different doctor) said "have you ever checked your HIV status? That is a sign of HIV" and so I checked and was obviously negative. But NOW I am very concerned because it has been so long since having one, and a doctor on thebody.com said that it was a symptom of HIV in women. And also this one is weird as it is not totally going away or I am not sure. So now I am terrified. I don't have ANY other symptoms. Also, at the point that you get yeast infections from HIV, wouldn't you also be at the point that it would turn up a positive test? Because my test (a week after this started) was negative. Just very concerned given all the information out there.
you have nothing to worry about..it is not due to hiv..yeast infection can spread from skin to skin so maybe tatz how you got it from him..for example the skin of his inner thigh touching ur labia..
anyways, regarding hiv concern, you have nothing to worry about..your OB is just being over conservative..your allright..
keep applyin the internal prescription cream and you shud be alrighty!
