Brief Answer:
HIV risk is negligible. Rule out STD by investigation

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

You had protected exposure and the condom slipped. Your risk towards HIV/STD is negligible only. Burning sensation at the tip of penis is not a symptom for HIV. Moreover earliest manifestation of HIV can occur only after 4-6 weeks if there is any infection.

Burning sensation at the tip of penis might be a symptom for STD or due to some traumatic abrasion during sexual act or poor consummation of water or due to fear or phobia for STD/HIV.

A simple urinary examination will reveal the presence or absence of any infection. If the problem persist after consuming adequate water, consult your physician and have examination and investigations to rule out STD.

Thanks a lot sir for your reply.
This incident happened 9 days before & still i am feeling burning on my penis. To overcome from continous thinking of fear of HIV & anxiety, i am drinking alcohol also too much. So there is no much physical look change of my penis but the burning is continous. So really i am afraid about HIV because she was from china & i don't know hiv status of her. I asked her about hiv & she said i am clean & i don't have any medical problem. But i think she is proffesional so may be she is not true speaking.

Brief Answer:
Consulting physician will relieve your tension.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again.

When you meet your physician, he will treat your burning sensation of penis as well as your anxiety and sleeplessness.
Home remedy is to divert yourself by seeing films, comedy shows, hearing musics and chat with kids. Drink plenty of water. Think of the positive things. You were not having a total unprotected sex. The symptom is earlier for a HIV manifestation.
You have burning sensation over tip of penis but there is no purulent discharge as a symptom for urethritis.
Only your physician can relieve totally from all your tension.

Dear Sir
Still burning is continue. And that me causing more worry about infection. And here in Dubai to visit a doctor is difficult. Because i am afraid if he will ask me for HIV test. Really i am sleepless. Everyday i wack up 3 am & continuous thinking of fear of HIV. Because i am thinking that, while pulling my penis may be touched to her virgin. So really i am in tense. Just give some relief to me for my peace of mind. Today i will buy ciprofloxacin for may be suspected UTI infection. Sir, really i am in panic & just tell me what are probability of HIV infection to me. Yesterday, i talked her on phone about her visa renewal & she told me that still i am waiting for sponsored call. So really i am in tense. You can understand my situatiotion. I am feeling shame on me & thinking of what will happen to my family.
Thanks in advance.

Brief Answer:
HIV risk is negligible.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again.
I can understand your feelings. But the situation is not that bad. Just by touching of penis to her vagina did not increase the risk for HIV. Whatever consolation I extended to you that does not going to make any difference in your mental agony,till you get a HIV negative result. If you have more disturbance, you have to seek the help of a Psychiatrist.
Regarding taking Tablet Ciprofloxacin, if at all, you have to take in the dose of 500 mg. twice daily for not less than a week duration. But it is always advisable to have a medical supervision before any treatment to be taken.

But i am outisde XXXXXXX & so i can't go to dodctor here. Hopefully next week i will be in XXXXXXX But i am really in panic because of thinking continously about hiv.

1/4 portion of my penis looks little red & burning & if i touch with finger that portion, it will giving pain for me. But other areas when i touched it looks normal means no paining. So again i am afraiding because you know the incident was 13 days back.But now from urethra no burning. But skin is burning & red But not whole portion

Brief Answer:
Burning skin not related to HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

I may not be able to solve your problem over phone. When you happened to be in XXXXXXX you can meet me in person, if possible. You are welcome and get your doubts cleared. Burning skin of the remains after circumcision may be due to some irritation or infection other than HIV. It is not a symptom for HIV. If you consult your physician, he will solve your problem.
Get well soon.

Dear sir
yesterday I arrived in XXXXXXX & I directly went to lab. I given blood & test came back negative. He did test on 4th generation duo test. The lab is well known in my city & after result I met Dr also & he told that even after 15 days this results are accurate. He said I have latest machine & told that no worry & no need test again. So can you give your opinion?

Answered by Dr. Sankaranantham Murugan (19 hours later)

Brief Answer:
hiv1 & 2 can be ruled oUt HIV 1&2

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.

4th generation Duo test my be accurate and able to detect HIV 1 antigen at the 15th day of high risk activity. But can be considered more conclusive after 4 weeks. That too for HIV 1 which is the commonest (99%). A rare possibility of HIV 2 can be ruled out only with the antibody test after 12 weeks (after window period). This is for your information.
