General Physician•Hisar

Hiv virus can survive normal saline.
Though hiv virus rarely survive outside body.
It survive in body fluids.
For cleaning instruments in surgery we use alcohol or formalin. So very low risk of transmission via surgery.
Hiv don't transmit via minor abrasion on skin.

Hello sir. Both the combination are effective, except that tenofavir alafinamide salt has purportedly more more bone and renal safety profiles. However you are strongly advised not to self medicate please and consult a doctor of your choice to get proper guidance. Thanks.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Coughing up phlegm is a good thing. But if your cough lasts longer than two weeks or if the phlegm is yellow, green, brown, black, white or red, you should schedule an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible.

Asked for male, 22 years old from Kolkata

Hello, can we get any std or hiv just by stimulating each other with hands? No sex or no saliva involved, we just pleasured each other sexually with hands. Also I don't have any open wounds or cuts in my hand. This was on 17th june and on 20th june I had a sore throat. No fever, no rashes, no joint pain, no muscle pain, no fatigue, no diarrhea, no infection on my genital. Just a mild sore throat but it's still there for 5 days. Difficulty talking, talking loudly creates cough. Can it be just a simple cold? Note :- I have over thinking issues also and I worry a lot! clinically proven to have anxiety and ocd. I don't know if i'm actually over thinking! please provide me with your valuable information.

The only possible risk would be if body fluids from a person with hiv touch the mucous membranes or damaged tissue of someone without hiv.

If you test negative 3-6 months after you think you were exposed to hiv and if there is no chance you were exposed to hiv since then, you do not have hiv. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.

Antigen/antibody test done with blood from a finger stick can usually detect hiv 18 to 90 days after exposure. An antigen/antibody lab test using blood from a vein can usually detect hiv 18 to 45 days after exposure. A nucleic acid test (nat) can usually detect hiv 10 to 33 days after exposure.
