Asked for male, 28 years old from Aurangabad

I had protected sex with commercial sex worker but unsure whether condom broke or not. I did antibody test at 36 day and it came negative for hiv 1 and 2. On 42nd day I did hiv_1 dna pcr provera and it is not detected (came negative). Yet I am having swollen lymph nodes and sore throat for 3 to 4 weeks. Do need further hiv tests?

You have some risk for hiv but a lot for other stds. What tests you are doing is not protocol. To better understand the implications of and risks and consequences of stds please take private consultation with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and tell you what is the best way forward.

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.

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.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
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.

I asked a doctor, he said that no test can detect hiv virus before 3-4 months and the symptoms you had was the symptoms of being positive, doctor I am really scared now.

General Physician•Hisar

Combo test is pretty accurate after 2 -3 weeks of exposure.
Though we do recommend a test repeat after 3 months as most antibody form after 3 months but it is false to say no test can detect hiv before 3 months.
It your initial day 3 and 1 month test is negative there are very less chance of 3 month test being positive.
Initial symptoms of hiv are flu like illness and they are non specific
do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want...more
