Brief Answer:
Condom offers a high degree of protection against STD/HIV
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
1.Your HIV PCR for both 1 and 2 on XXXXXXX clearly ruled out both HIV 1 and 2 infection.
2. Once again it is confirmed by the HIV antibody test for 1 and 2 done during 2016.
3. Your CD 4 count is normal. It is the duty of your attending physician to find the cause for oral thrush. First of all oral thrush has to be confirmed by investigation.
4. Qualitative RNA or DNA PCR can rule out HIV conclusively by 4 weeks of last risky contact and thereafter.
5. Nearly 30-40% spouse of HIV positive individuals remain HIV negative in spite of their consistent sexual activities for years without any protection at the time of diagnosis and are called as discordant couple. We used to advise all the HIV positive couple to have safe sex with condom protection. With safe sex their non reactive spouses remain nonreactive for ever.
6. Sex with condom protection offers 99% protection.
7. I never come across any such incidence either in my 25 years of HIV practice or with my colleagues elsewhere in the world (not sero-converted in presence of an infection).
8. Abstinence, avoidance of multiple partners, regular and consistent usage of condoms can prevent STDs and candidiasis.
