Dear doctor After 87 days of needle exposure I did Rna Pcr for Hiv 1 and it was not detectable. At 102 days Ab/Ag test result is antibody 0.06 and antigen not detected. (Cut off 0.25) non reactive. At 180 days rapid test by immunochromotography done which is negative. Still I have oral leukoplakia and pain in groin and lower armpit. Whether this is related to Hiv 1 or 2.Whether I am conclusively negative? Kindly help Sir.

Hi.
HIV test reports negative at 6th month of exposure then it's conclusive.
Other symptoms might be due to other causes.
Kindly visit a Dr. in person for proper examination and management.
Thanks.

Leukoplakia usually take a long time to regress after quitting tobacco chewing. Even though the Biopsy is reported as hyperplastic squamous epithelium without dyplasia, I would like to see the same to make sure it is not suspicious clinically. On a few occasions after seeing the lesion, we advise for removal of the lesion, if clinically suspicious despite Biopsy being negative as some times there may be cancer in areas other than where Biopsy was taken or chances of developing cancer in future.

The leukoplakia can occur after long use of tobacco....
or some other reasons... it is not always because of HIV...
And you can consult for homoeopathic treatment to remove it...

Asked for male, 19 years old from Srinagar

Hi i'm 19 years old I had a sore throat and noticed some small white patches and slightly pinkish red irritated scratchy patches at the back of my throat and swollen tonsils. These patches does not look like leukoplakia or erythroplakia. My sore throat was cured in 10 to 12 days after two months I again have sore throat and same irritated red scratches. I also have an avid reflux issue. Before I got sore scratch y throat I was exposed to dirt and I screamed a lot while playing a match. I just wanna know these red patches are just irritated throat and nothing else serious like carcinoma. I get sore throat frequently after few months or weeks. I just wanna know what different kinds of appearances can a irritated scratchy throat have. Are my red scrathy patches normal.

The appearance of a white coating is caused by debris, bacteria and dead cells getting lodged between the enlarged and sometimes inflamed papillae. Let's have a detailed discussion for better advice and medication plan.

Her one jaw was slightly loose at starting before this condition happened, she tried to remove the jaw herself as she thought it has been old, but didn't get success. She visit a dentist regarding loose teeth. Doctor prescribed some medicine and oral wash after scaling the teeth and the problem vanishes but this new problem started which is greyish cheek in early time only in right side but now it is also in left side. It does not cause any problem except irritation towards spicy food. But I want to know -how to get rid of pigmented inner cheek and the irritation that cause only when consume spicy food.
