Brief Answer:
Transmission of nonvenereal skin infection possible through intimate contac

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.

I can understand your concern.
I saw the picture of rashes also.
You had a protected exposure. So your risk for HIV/ STD is almost negligible.
HIV/STD are unlikely to be transmitted through rashes over the body unless there was some oozing from the lesions.
But certain non-venereal infectious (fungal,parasitic or bacterial) skin conditions can be transmitted through close contact.
If you have itching or any new type of rashes over your body then you have to consult with a Dermatologist. It will not be difficult to cure those conditions.

Brief Answer:
Treatment should be done under the supervision of a Dermatologist

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

Even with intimate contact rashes would unlikely be to develop by overnight to the other person. (You had your contact on JULY 19th?)
Moreover skin conditions always need close inspection of the lesion, if necessary some investigations also to arrive at an exact diagnosis. Your lesions seem to be very superficial bacterial infection. An antibacterial soap sometimes is enough to clear the lesions. Anyhow treatment should be done under the guidelines a Dermatologist. On line treatment would not be fruitful always.

Brief Answer:
The presence of rashes not an extra risk for HIV/STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again.
Then Rashes have no relation to your present sex contact. The presence of rash during sex contact did not increase your HIV/STD risk.
Hot climate (working and residential), synthetic clothing can be avoided as far as possible. Try to use anti-bacterial soaps.
For further help seek the advice of a nearby Dermatologist.

Brief Answer:
Irritaion due to topical application. Stop Onabet B Application.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

I saw the prescription and the pictures sent by you. Nothing to get anxious and there is nothing serious.
Fissures and cracks over the margin of the foreskin can occur with Yeast infection of the foreskin and Glans. But your lesion is not appearing to be due to yeast infection. It seems to be possible due to the application (Onabet-B cream). Avoid any more applications. You can use liquid parrafin application externally over the foreskin. It will soothe and lesions will get healed within a week or you can seek advice from your Dermatologist also. It has nothing to do with your sexual exposure.
Get well soon.

Brief Answer:
As you had safe sex, throat problem unlikely to be due to HIV/STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

Throat infection and fever are very common condition that anybody can suffer from children to older age.
Close intimacy during sex also facilitates an air born infection or through a salival contamination also one can get throat infection. As you had a protected sex, HIV infection is unlikely. No harm in taking a test for HIV. A nonreactive test report would relieve unnecessary tension. Otherwise you would be likely to attribute every health discomfort in future to HIV.

Brief Answer:
Better to consult your doctor and have the treatment for any problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

Amoxycillin 5oomg three times daily can be tried for 5-7 days for a sore throat. But any treatment should be taken under the supervision of a doctor.
There may likely be an allergic drug reaction following the ingestion of any drugs and side effects can occur for any drug. On seeing the throat, the choice of antibiotics could vary. So it is always better to consult a doctor before starting treatment. One can not rely upon the advice through on line.

Brief Answer:
Tongue swelling is a normal entity for all.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again.
I saw the picture sent by you.
What the arrows pointed out (bulge over the posterior aspect of tongue) in your picture are nothing but the normal structure of the tongue for everybody. It is nothing but taste buds of a variety.
The low grade fever and throat infection will settle soon with your physician's effort with an appropriate choice of antibiotics.

1.Window period for Antibody test (ELISA.Rapid test) is 6-8 weeks- a conclusive result by 12 weeks.
2. Window period for Antigen test (DNA or RNA PCR Test and P24 Antigen test) is 7 days - more conclusive by 4 weeks.
You would be likely to free from HIV infection. Nothing to worry as you had protected sex.

1) this lymphocyte 53 count is any related with my sex expose?
2) in my tongues got whitening, for this symptoms any related to HIV?

Kindly advice me sir,

Brief Answer:
Increase in Lymphocytic percentage has not related to HIV disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

Your CBC revealed the lymphocytes percentage is 53 in the differential WBC count, not exactly number. This percentage would like to vary periodically due to variations inside the body due to internal conditions and infections. But one can not come to any conclusion only with these results. Along with other reports and examination findings these reports have to be correlated.
Nobody can come to conclusion that your throat infection is due to viral etiology with this report alone. When the bacterial culture report came negative we can presume it could be due viral etiology.
1. The increase in lymphocytic percentage did not have any relation to HIV infection.Actually the decrease in lymphocytic percentage usually observed in HIV.
2. Your doctor will tell that whether there is really any white coating over your tongue or not and whether it has anything related to you exposure or not. Oral thrush over tongue can not occur within 16 days after exposure in case of HIV disease.
Don't get confused yourself. Your symptoms are unlikely to be due to HIV.

Brief Answer:
Throat infection can be cured completely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Welcome back.

You have to consult your ENT surgeon for your throat problem. By inspection alone an experienced ENT Surgeon can select the appropriate antibiotic for you. If he has any difficulty he will take a throat swab for culture and sensitivity examination. On the basis of the test results more appropriate treatment can be provided.
As you had protected sex HIV is unlikely. Test for HIV only can be the conclusive one and you can get relieved totally after seeing a non reactive result.

It is sure that you are free from HIV 1 infection. This DNA PCR did not rule out HIV 2 infection. But HIV 2 is rare and the prevalence is less than 1% other than certain parts of XXXXXXX It is less virulent and less infectious when compared to HIV 1. Moreover you had only protected exposure. So I feel the test is not necessary to be taken.

That bluish color bulging under the tongue is nothing but engorged veins. The redness might be due to some irritation or aphthous ulcer due vitamin deficiency. It may even be due to the antibiotic therapy. Consult your physician, he will help you. This is nothing serious and not related to STD/HIV.

All your symptoms are quite common to have for anybody.
The possibility of HIV 1 infection clearly ruled out beyond any doubt by a reputed laboratory. HIV 2 infection is very rare and less virulent and not easily transmitted to others. Moreover your exposure was protected.
You can get treated by any physician easily. Always consume boiled and cooled water to protect yourself from throat infection.

Brief Answer:
CBC report is within a normal range.Western Blot is almost final.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back to HCM
Your CBC report is almost normal only. Borderline variations are not clinically significant. You can ignore those minor variations.
Regarding the Western Blot test, it is also an antibody based (detection) test. Antibodies against HIV in the presence of an infection could be detected only after the window period(6-8 weeks) following the exposure. It may be delayed in some individuals up to 12 weeks. So the test can be considered conclusive if it would have been done 12 weeks after the contact.
But yours was a protected exposure. So you can take it as non-reactive and you are free from HIV 1 and 2. You can forget that incident.

Hello again,

Based on your CT scan film, you are a case of sinusitis secondary to allergic rhintis. In my opinion, a course of antibiotic, prophylactic antiallergic medication like montelukast and steroid + antihisatamine nasal spray for 3-6 months will be benificial in your case.

As I, have already mentioned you, people with allergic rhintis, needs life time medications (nasal sprays and montelukast) and regular follow ups to prevent complications (sinusitis, polyp and recurrent ear infections).


Kindly discuss with your treating doctor for dosage, strength and duration, as they are prescribed medications, needs to be taken under supervision.
