Brief Answer:
Kindly upload more Images of Glans

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you again for writing to us

The only thing that I am concerned about is the condition on your genitals.
It could be either candidal infection Or it could be either genital herpes or an eczematous condition. You may therefore screen for HSV at 4-6 weeks. You may also screen for HIV with a 4th generation HIV screening test but most likely it would turn up as negative but it would at least dispel your fears about HIV.
I request you to kindly upload a few more Images of the affected area on glans.

Brief Answer:
Routine STD screen advised

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Your symptoms are not suggestive of HIv.
I have reviewed the images. They seem fine to me. Just a little fungal infection for which i have advised fluconazole.
You may anyways undergo routine STD screening at 4 weeks for both HSV and HIV.

Brief Answer:
Powdery substance is fordyce spots which are ectopic sebaceous glands

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Please don't worry too much. I hope you are not misunderstanding my replies.
Right now there is nothing in the Images which suggests an STD. They are fine.
However I am just advicing you to undergo a screening blood test for HSV i.e ELISA at 4-6 weeks because it is a normal screening test that everyone should undergo after a risky sexual encounter and because unlike HIV a condom does not provide 100% protection against transmission of HSV.
The powdery substance on the inner prepuce is nothing but fordyce spots which are ectopic sebaceous glands. They are a normal anatomic variation an dthey wont' wipe off because they are deeper. Not on surface. It can be just left alone.
