Question: Hi I'm having sore throat and nasal bleeding symptoms arrived 3-4 days after kissing a young lady ? She had fever symptoms around a day of two near this time and dizzness. My real consern is HIV as I do have an inflamed throat from reflex and research said that in the pre infection stages of HIV can be present in saliva? The lady also told me afterward she has had symptoms with a bad nasal pain and flu like symptoms for 2 weeks prior ?
Brief Answer:
Does not seem to be a cause for concern.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HelathcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Although you got your symptoms 3-4 days subsequent to your kissing the lady, probably it has nothing to do with it. HIV does not spread this way and so you need not worry about HIV. In any case, these are not symptoms of HIV infection.
You probably have a simple sore throat and cold. Most often they occur due to certain viral infections and irrespective of treatment they last for 5-7 days. I would suggest you to gurgle with lukewarm water. Also take steam inhalation. The water in form of vapor would reach deep inside and would help in diulting the mucus. Moreover, probably a dry mucosa is responsible for the nasal bleeding. You may also use saline nasal drops to remove nasal blockages.
You need not panic.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
