Patient's Query

Hello,

I had unprotected sex 26 days ago with a spa girl and it lasted for 10 seconds because I pulled out and I noticed that I did not cum. For the past two days I am having a sore throat with extreme tiredness which made me scared about HIV then after I got tested for it after 16 days of unprotected exposure and it tested negative. I was advised to get tested for it after one month and right now, I am having a mouth ulcer. I am concerned that it is HIV.

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Unprotected sex can have a high risk of exposure to other sexually transmitted diseases. Sore tongue and throat may be due to climate change rather than sex. Internet generally leaves you with tension rather than a solution. I suggest you kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take five days of medications with their consent. It would not be HIV (human immunodeficiency virus).

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

Should I get tested for HIV for having unprotected sex though it was for less time like 10 seconds, I am very much concerned.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Time is not at all a matter of unprotected sex. Get the following test done. Fourth generation CMIA kit test for HIV one and two on the 28th day. This test has multiple window periods like 38, 42, 54 days, etc. Get the test done on either day, and if the result is nonreactive, It means no infection of HIV. But in your case, it is documentary evidence that can help to rule out HIV easily.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

I have tried dot card testing for HIV after two weeks, and still I am scared because of the content in the internet.

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome back to iclinq.com.

I suggest you stop searching the internet. Unprotected sex cannot be the reason for just two days. It can be because of the climate, cold water, freeze, air conditioner, etc. They could have been the most important cause. Pleasure is important but life is most important. Do not panic, as you can become a psychiatric patient.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the reply.

When should I get tested for HIV as I did it recently I wanted to know.

Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As there are multiple window periods, previously as advised accordingly go for test either days.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I just want to know, should I worry about HIV even if I had unprotected sex for like 10 seconds because it scares me a lot.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If the penis is in vagina unprotected for10 seconds or one min, it is called unprotected sex which is high risk exposure. but as your test is negative you are definitely safe.

I hope this has helped you.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Can I test negative after undergoing the test as you predicted?

Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As all the reports have come negative, there is nothing to worry.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I am getting swollen lymph nodes on the back of my ear, and back of my neck. Is there anything to worry about HIV? It has been a month now after unprotected sex.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Ear problems, dandruff, folliculitis, and HIV. Consult personally with a dermatologist or an ENT as he can examine and find out any lymph node that can be appropriate for FNAC (fine needle aspiration biopsy). So after biopsy and histopathological examination diagnosis is correct.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Can you tell me the date on which I can test for my HIV?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

You can test on days 28, 38, 42, 54 or 63, any day.

I hope this helps.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I just consulted a dermatologist doctor for a swollen lymph node he told me it was because of the pimples on my hair and that it would recover within a month but I have had a sore throat for a month so should I worry or not?

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

For betadine, gargle add 5 ml solution in hot to warm water and gargle it before meal two times for seven to ten days. Augmentin duo 625 three times a day after food for three to five days. Take Zerodol sp three times a day after food for three to five days. Montek lc one at night till for seven to ten days. Avoid cold things, and eat a light diet home made food.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

What about the swollen lymph node the doctor said it was due to pimples on my head but I had dandruff a year ago.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Through this treatment, they also reduce or go. In my previous answer, I mentioned all head and ear conditions as causes. Use shampoo two times a week.

I hope this helps.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had Molluscum contagiosum on my private part, but I got it removed. Should I be concerned about it?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

It is an STD (sexually transmitted disease) and comes from the pox virus family. It will go after cryotherapy (the use of extreme cold to freeze and remove abnormal tissue). However, as it is a sexually transmitted disease, be careful. There is no risk, but if you have contact with Molluscum contagiosum, it may get activated. It is self-resolving within months. So you are in a safe zone.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

Should I get tested for HIV again? Am I safe?

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

It is an STD (sexually transmitted disease), not HIV (human immunodeficiency virus). So you do not need any further tests for HIV.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I had oral sex with a spa girl, but I then passed urine and washed my private part. Should I get tested for HIV? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Glad to have you back!

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

So, do you think you are safe after passing urine? Then how did you get HIV? No problem, it is all due to over-thinking, relax. You are safe.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

After the spa girl gave me a blowjob, I used the washroom and washed my private parts. That is why I am asking if I should get tested for HIV.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

You do not need any test for this scenario, relax. You are safe.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I feel a small pea-like thing when I touch my left testicle. Is there something to worry about? It feels like a small pimple when I touch it from inside. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am unable to help without seeing or touching it.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

It cannot be seen. When I touch the left testicle, somewhere down, a small pea-like thing is felt. It feels like it is inside the skin. It can just be felt, not seen.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is harmless, as it is without any symptoms. However, I suggest consulting a super-specialist if it is palpable.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I just had my HIV test after 11 months of unprotected sex, and a recent unprotected blowjob 25 days ago. I am negative, but I fear if the observed value increases. Previously, it was 0.16, and now it is 0.29. Is it a matter of concern? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Glad to have you back.

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

That is the index value used for research purposes in the medical field. It must be below 1.0, and in very rare cases it crosses 1.0. There is no need to worry. You are safe, do not worry.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have HSV ulcers on upper side of lips. I am very afraid if it is it a sign of HIV. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Glad to have you back!I am here to help you get the best medical advice. Please attach a picture. Are they cold sores? I suggest Acyclovir (antiviral) ointment to apply locally if they are cold sores. I am not able to understand it properly without a picture.

Please revert with a picture.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your reply.

They are watery ulcers. They bleed when touched, and I have pain. Is it an STD? Should I be concerned? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

They are aphthous ulcers (small, shallow sores inside the mouth or at the base of the gums), not an STD. I suggest locally applying Zytee (Choline salicylate 9 percent w/v) with an earbud before meals. Do not put anything in the mouth for half an hour.

1. Avoid spicy food.

2. Take a tablet of Zerodol (Aceclofenac 100 mg, Paracetamol 325 mg, and Serratiopeptidase 15 mg) three times a day after food for three to five days for pain and redness.

3. Rinse your mouth with water after eating food, and then apply Candid lotion (anti-fungal) with an earbud, and wait for 30 minutes. There is no problem with ingesting it.

4. Take a tablet of Folic acid 5 mg two times a day after food for 15 days.

5. Take a capsule of Becosul Z (vitamin B complex) one at night for 15 days. Consult your doctor and take the medicines as advised.

6. I recommend consulting an ENT (otolaryngologist) specialist if required.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I consulted an ENT specialist. He just said it was because of a nose inflammation. I had a chest block. He said I had many ulcers due to bad dental hygiene. However, my skin doctor says it is grouped and the nose thing does not affect the ulcers. He said it was Herpes. Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am here to help you get the best medical advice.

It is not related to nose or chest congestion. However, it is not Herpes either, I am very sure. Simple sores can be due to multiple causes. The sores are due to bad hygiene, folic acid deficiency, or aphthous ulcer. I have already mentioned the treatment, you can follow that.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you want some help.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply.

I have sent another picture that is more clear. Please check and advise if they are HSV. Should I be concerned? Are they STD? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Please consult an ENT (Otolaryngologist) specialist. They are not herpes.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
