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.

Please note that that if you have taken full course of the treatment and the disease was resolved (not having any unwanted symptoms/ blood test were clear, etc) there is no chance the disease was there and can migrate further/develop in ii stage.
However if you have not take proper treatment and or expose to unfavorable environment the disease can develop again and migrate to ii stage.

Asked for female, 25 years old from Chennai

Hi, I don't have a multiple partners. Few months back when I tested vdrl test it came positive and tpha is negative. After that my husband has taken vdrl test it came non reactive.

General Physician•Hisar

Vdrl is non specific and can be false positive due to many variables like flu or vaccine. Tpha and fta - abs are more specific and accurate.
So unless you have clinical symptoms it is most likely false positive vdrl. You can repeat it after 4 weeks do contact me for further diagnosis and treatment or if you still have some doubts you want to clear.

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.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a treatment plan for you.
