Can sore throat and mouth ulcers indicate HIV?

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.

What are the tests essential for diagnosing double pneumonia and septic poisoning?

Hello doctor,

I was recently hospitalized for double pneumonia and septic poisoning. The doctor says that hospitals need to conduct blood tests to check for HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), hepatitis C, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, and tuberculosis. I have also learned that my former sexual partner from three years ago is HIV positive, and a former sexual partner of my previous sexual partner is also HIV positive. Therefore, I want to know about the routine blood tests that hospitals typically require in cases of double pneumonia and septic poisoning.

Please help.

Are sore throat and body pain symptoms of HIV?

Hello doctor,

I had unprotected sex with a sex worker a few weeks ago and when I inserted my penis head into her vagina, it smelled very bad. I quickly took out my penis, it was inside for a minute or less. She was having yellow or greenish discharge but she had no clue about it. Now after 30 days, I have had a sore throat with pain in my body for one week but no fever or any rash. Do I have HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus)? If yes, what to do?

Please help.

Are body pain, sore throat and tiredness due to HIV?

Hi doctor,

I had unprotected sex with a call girl ten months back. Then after three months, I got my HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) test done and the test was negative. Then again I got the HIV test after six months, the test was negative. Then after eight months, I got my HIV test done again, the test result was negative. I did ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) test, tri-dot test, Elfa (Enzyme Linked Florescence assay) test, finally western blot test. All test results were negative. I am getting some symptoms like body pain, body tiredness, bitter mouth, sore throat, tightness in neck. So, I am fully scared. My question is that are these symptoms related to HIV or again I have to take another HIV test? Recently I did a WBC (White Blood Cells) count test and it is 12000. I have got Vitamin D test results as 16.6 ng/ml. Is Vitamin D deficiency related to my symptoms? I got Vitamin B12 test results as 188 pg/ml. Is this related to the beginning of HIV infection? I am totally confused. Please answer my questions.

Do symptoms of sore throat, radiating pain, and a burning sensation in the hands and legs after unprotected sex suggest HIV?

Hello,

My girlfriend and I had unprotected sex about two months ago. After that day, I was worried about HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). After one week of exposure, I got a burning sensation in my hand, leg, feet, and toe that radiated from one hand to another. After two weeks, I got a sore throat. I went to a doctor, and he saw my throat and said it looked like a throat allergy. He asked me to wash it with warm water and salt. After four weeks, I got rashes on my arms which were eliminated when I took allergy medicine. The biggest problem is my thigh pain which radiates toward the groin and gives me groin pain and moves to the hip. Also, pain in my hand is common. There is no swelling, but a burning sensation on the hands and legs goes for some time and comes back. After two months of exposure, we tested for an HIV antibody test, and both of us came negative. Tell me, are these the symptoms of HIV or not? Which diseases can cause these symptoms? Please answer in detail.
