No need to be so anxious as the risk of getting HIV or other STDs is nil.

Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

Welcome to HCM.

You had done protected sex with condom than no need to worry at all as the risk of getting HIV or any other STDs is nil in your case.

As far as fever, burning sensation and muscle pain is concerned, it might be due to anxiety or some other infection but not related to HIV for which you can consult your local physician and take some treatment accordingly. Be relaxed andgo ahead.

Brief Answer:
The symptoms are due to anxiety or stress you have not related to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,

The symptoms are mostly due to anxiety or stress you have not related to HIV. For pain in lymph node you can take some pain killer along with antacids for stomach burning. Consult your local physician and take symptomatic treatment as per the advice.

You said it is 35 days after exposure so for your mental satisfaction and to clear all your doubts you can go for 4th generation HIV DUOS test. Be relaxed and don't worry much as you are risk free.

Swollen lymph nodes are due to some other infection not related to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Shibashish,

You got retested at 6 weeks for HIV and the result is negative then no need to get tensed as you are free from HIV. The swollen lymph nodes are due to some other infection not related to HIV for which you can consult your physician and go for some investigations to isolate the cause. Don't worry HIV symptoms not last so long and the result of the test is also highly reliable after 6 weeks.

Brief Answer:
The lymph node swelling is not due to HIV or ARS so don't worry.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxx,

The lymph node swelling at collar region is due to some other infection not related to HIV for which you can take some antibiotic like cefadroxyl or augmentin after advice of your local physician.

Acute retroviral syndrome occurs usually within 15 days to 2 months. It will not occur at 7th week. So you need not to worry at all as you are risk free. No need to think negative because life is very precious and the risk is nil in your case. Avoid too much of stress or tension and move ahead in life happily.

The tender and inflamed lymph nodes are due to some other infection but not related to HIV. So no need to worry much, continue zedocef as adviced by your doctor and do regular follow-up.

You are afraid about positive result which is very less likely so go for testing because the negative result will clear all your doubts and apprehension.

I am thinking I will go for test after 4 days on completion of 8th week. Hope it will negative. Thank u
doctor
Answered by Dr. Sunil Jangid (2 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Go for the test without any stress the result surely will be in your favour

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

The fungal and yeast infection along with ring-warms are occurring in HIV but it is not the scenario in your case so don't think much about that and no need to take unnecessary stress or tension as the risk is very remote or negligible.

For fungal and yeast infections you can take some anti-fungal like fluconazole or ketoconazole along with bandy-plus for ring-warms at armpits after expert advice. Avoid stress or tension completely and eat healthy nutritious diet to increase your immune power. Be relaxed and get tested after 2 months, the result will definitely come in your favor because the rapid test at 6 weeks is also negative.

doctor
Answered by Dr. Sunil Jangid (4 hours later)
Brief Answer:
This is not due to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

The dry cough and throat inflammation is mostly due to some throat infection not related to HIV for which take some antibiotic and decongestants as per expert advice. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation to reduce congestion of throat.

The montelukast treatment has nothing to do with the symptoms of HIV so don't worry about that and continue taking treatment. The possibility of being positive is also very very rare in your case so just relax yourself and move ahead in life happily.

The steroid can not delay seroconversion.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxxx,

The steroid treatment has nothing to do with HIV seroconversion as I had told earlier so don't worry. Don't think much about swelling of lymphnodes as it is mostly due to some other infection not related to HIV. Also rapid test after 8 weeks was negative then just relax yourself and move ahead in life.
