Suggest Tests To Confirm HIV During Pregnancy

I recenlty discovered that an ex-boyfriend gave me Trich. I am now pregnant, and I am worried that he possibly could have infected me with HIV. I have gotten tested, but the lab work is not back yet, and I'm sick with worry. How likely is it that he could have infected me with not only Trich, but also with HIV?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
1]Please do not panic.
2] For vaginal infection CLINGEN vaginal tablets once at night for 6 days will be of help.
3] Worry about HIV infection can be solved only after getting your blood reports.
4]it is always advisable to have protected sex, use of condom is recommended in such situations; when having sex with partner whose infection status is not known.
5] Please pay attention to your health. Do not worry and trouble yourself till you get reports. Also, it will be better to know basically if the boyfriend is HIV positive or not; otherwise you need not worry unnecessarily.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you great health.
