Boil Below Scrotum Area, Boil Under Left Armpit. History Of Having Unprotected Sex, ECLIA Method For HIV 1 And 2 Screening Result Negative. Possible STD?

Respected Doctor,
First off all hats off to the team for helping people across the globe. You guys are really relieving the tensions in millions of people . Hats off for that. I had protected sex on september 11th 2012 with a commercial sex worker (which is a big mistake). I got tested on october 6th 2012 for HIV screening 1&2 (serum) by ECLIA method (not ELISA). it came 0.35 non-reactive. U told me 3 months would be ok. so i again tested on jan 25th 2013 and it again came 0.343 non- reactive and the technique is same ie, ECLIA method for HIV 1&2 screening (serum). I have read in the internet that 6 months is the actual window period . so i did another test on 22 june 2013 and the result came 0.265 non reactive. Are my results conclusive ?

But now I have a new concern . Please do help me on this. I got a boil just below my scrotum area on the right hand side. it has pus in it i guess. i could not see it properly. 2 months back , I had got boil under my left armpit also. I am worried that this is some kind of STD . Please help me out on this . I am really worried and tensed. and if at all it is an STD, can it lead to HIV even if i dont indulge in any sexual activity ? Also are STD's life threatning like HIV ?Please do help me . I am a student and I am very much worried. Thanks a lot in advance.

hi,
since you have tested negative(even after 6 months), you do not have HIV. so bee cool.
now do not indulge in unprotected sex with anyone. if you are tensed personalty then even dont indulge in protected sex. masturbation is best method to avoid that. or just fore play would do.

now coming to your problem of boil, it can be due to low immunity, anemia etc. get tested for that also.

if you dont indulge in any such activity you will not get STD/HIV.

wish you good health
