Brief Answer:
Possible FUNGAL uti

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concern.

Negative DUO will help to rule you out of HIV considerably.

As per your symptoms, you possible seem to have fungal urinary tract infection.

In addition to HIV DUO, I advise you to get a complete 10-panel STD screen.

Meanwhile, I would like to recommend a short course of antifungal therapy. I generally prescribe oral tablets of Flucan 200 mg once a day for 3 days. Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe the same to you.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
It is good to maintain genital hygiene

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.

I can understand your concern.

It is very important that you wash your genitals frequently-during bath and post sex.

This will really help to clean up the debris and infection if any.

Make you mind positively and tune up to this habit.

Cultivate safe sex practices.
