Brief Answer:
This is not HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

This is just minor fungal infection that might be causing vaginal itching. Continue with medicines your doctor has prescribed.

I dont see any reason to panic.

This is not HIV symptom at all. If too much in doubt, please get HIV test done in any laboratory near your house. This will give you peace of mind.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
