Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
It appears that what problems your are having could be due to inflammatory lesions on the skin on the penis. You are unnecessarily worried about about hiv/253657?iL=true" >AIDS, as HIV infection would not present in such a way.
It is essential to maintain good genital hygiene during such circumstances.
Kindly do the following to overcome the same.
1. Clean the area with antiseptic solution like Povidine-iodine twice daily.
2. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream topically over the lesions.
3. Avoid friction in the area by wearing loose fitting underwear and keep the area ventilated and dry as much as possible.
4. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Gradually, the symptoms should subside.
In case you need to know about your HIV status, you need to get it tested in blood sample in the diagnostic laboratory.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
