Hi Dr, My name is John, I had few lumph behind my right ear and went and consulted a Doctoter in June 2011. After diaganosis, DR came to conslucion saying that I may get extra pulmonery TB. So she asked me to take an HIV test and the result was negative. I had medicen for 6 months (For TB) and I haven t had any issues so far. I am going to get married next month so should I take a one more HIV test before marriage ?
Hi John! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
IF you are sexually active, and if you have more than one partner, then yes, you should go for a repeat HIV test.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
