hello,
Thank you for consulting HCM.
I think the symptoms you have mentioned may be related to sexually transmitted infection.BETTER TO HAVE SCREENING FOR THEM.If needed antibiotic therapy is prescribed by your doctor after diagnosing the actual cause.And about the viral load yes you need to take the test again as it might not detect in the early stages.Thank you.
