Can HIV Infection Have A Correlation With Prostate Problem?
Hello. I am a 70 year old Gay man diagnosed with HIv last year and just started on ARV treatment.I have a new urine retention problem which is being investigated. Could there be any connection between HIV and prostate problems? I have been a bit dribbly of late, and not able to have an erection for some time? Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Prostrate problems start usually after age of 60 years with the most common cause being benign prostatic hyperplasia. There is no co relation between prostrate problems and HIV infection. I suggest you get in touch with a surgeon and get appropriate investigations done to rule out malignancy.
Thanks.
