Brief Answer:
Not HIV

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

If the tridot and VDRL are both negative after 115 days post exposure, you can be considered HIV and syphilis free.

Some of the signs you mentioned above can be seen in STDs but only after years. I would consider some other cause for the same.

Need not worry.

Wish you good health.

regards,

Brief Answer:
Not STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

Sorry for the delay in my response.

I have seen the image you attached.

No, The rash doesn't seem to be due to STD.

I meant to say the symptoms you have now can be seen in STDs only after years but can be seen in trivial infections in early stages.

Need not worry. I do not think you have contracted any STDs.

Brief Answer:
Not STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have seen the image of the tongue. it appears to be a geographical tongue, the cause for which is unknown. Usually a genetic cause is considered to be associated. This is not serious and no specific medication is given unless there are symptoms associated.

The brown spot on the glans could be due to erosion of the superficial layers of the mucous membrane on the glans penis. No need for treatment here too.

I will explain my previous post. I meant to say that the symptoms like mouth ulcers can also be seen in HIV but its not restricted to HIV alone. many other simple conditions like Vitamin deficiency can also cause mouth ulcers. The same explanation applies to other symptoms too.

There are many symptoms which can be seen in both HIV and minor infections or vitamin deficiencies.

Brief Answer:
Not STDs

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for writing back.

I am here to help you.

Need not worry.

I have seen the pictures. The tongue lesion is an association with the geographical tongue.

The rash on the penis is a common entity. This occurs due to friction on the glans penis. I do not believe its an STD.

I would still recommend a physical examination by a Venereologist. Just to comfort your mind.

Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
get investigated

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Sorry for the delay in my response. I was caught up in my clinic.

I believe and can conclude with the information provided that you do not have STD.

Anyway to alley your anxiety, I would consider it wise for you and your wife to get screened for all STDs. This is only for your assurance.

For HIV, get HIV RNA PCR test. This if negative is 100% accurate.


Wish you good health.

Brief Answer:
No

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I do not suspect HIV in you. Your symptoms do not point at the consideration of the diagnosis.

Only that HIV RNA PCR test is more reliable than tridot. If you have doubt about your status and if the negative result calms you, HIV RNA PCR is the best.

Brief Answer:
Test only to calm your mind

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

According to your symptoms I do not believe you have HIV.

I advised the test to ease your mind. I see you are very anxious about the STDs. It is always better to remove the fears in a reasonable way when a doctor's assurance is not helping.
