Had Protected Anal Sex. Had Loose Stools. Is It HIV Or Bad Food?
Hello, I had protected anal sex with a person on Dec 25th. When asked about his HIV status he mentioned that he is doctor and he is worried about this more than me so do not worry. Any way this all happened when i was in Norway (I was there from past 4 years). Now i am back to India. While coming towards home i had some bad food and because of that i had loose motion. After getting treatment i am feeling good but its been more than 7 days and treatment is also over but there is occasionally rainy season in washroom. I am worried whether i caught HIV from my encounter or this is effect of bad food or this is a effect of weather change or some thing else. I need answer as i am really worried now.
Hello, Thanks for posting the question to H.C.M. Forum. Almost six months passed after sex. Please get in blood examination for HIV all strains. As far as concerned about diarrhea it may be due to season or food or water. within six months ,if patient got infection develops loose motion, vomiting ,fever ( chills and rigor), weight loss, anemia , generalized body pain. So I think you are not a patient of HIV but get in test for precaution. Hope I have answered your question. If further any question I will help. GOOD LUCK. Dr. HET
