I had unprotected sex and tested negative. What are the next steps?
Hi, I think was exposed to HIV after having unprotected sex on th 8th July. I took a rapid test on the 18th July and it came out negative. What should I do?
Sexologist
Answered on 22nd July '24
If one suspects to have been exposed to HIV, a regular test is one of the vital things to do. There are cases where the virus needs some time to be discovered during tests. HIV symptoms are different for example vomiting, fatigue, and enlarged glands (lymph nodes). The simple statement that must be kept in mind is that using a protector for the services is the one and that is the first option. In case of any issue, do not forget to consult a doctor.

I had an protected sex with an unknown lady a month back. I am afraid am i under risk of getting STI? Especially HIV?.
Male | 30
Yes, there is a risk of getting an STI, including HIV, even if you use protection, as no method is 100% foolproof. It's important to visit a doctor, preferably a specialist like a dermatologist, for proper testing and advice. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing any potential infection.

Past masturbate cause pelvic dysfunction ???
Female | 22
Masturbation is usually not a cause of pelvic dysfunction. However, the fact is that sometimes, excessive pressure in that area can lead you, in some cases, to discomfort. Signs such as pain, urinating difficulties, or painful intercourse might occur. To avoid this situation, try to take breaks regularly and don't apply too much pressure on that area.

I forgot to pinch the tip of the condom while wearing it and there’s bubble on the tip of the condom but wore it properly and there is no breakage, spillage or leak. While the sperm came in the condom we immediately stopped sex and the sperm is inside the bubble in the top Is it consider safe?
Female | 19
If the condom didn't break and all the sperm is properly stored inside that bubble at the top, you should be fine. That bubble is there to catch any liquids, like sperm and is normal. Just make sure to remove the condom carefully to prevent spills. The bubble won't cause any harm.

While masturbating I felt my penis somewhat slightly snapped from base while erect and afterwards it is hard to get erection But I have no bruses,blood or pain as it should be in penis fracture A slight pain at base of penis the second day and no erection
Male | 23
You may have suffered a penile injury. Symptoms like a steady snapping sound, a hard time getting an erection, and a little pain can happen. This might result from a tear in the tissue. It is necessary to rest your penis and refrain from sexual activities. If the problem continues or worsens, it is better to consult a sexologist for further evaluation and guidance.

These problems can be very painful, but there are ways out. If it comes to ED, the likely cause can be a nerve or blood flow issue. The cause of this may be anxiety.

Male | Arun
It's important to get tested for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) after unprotected sex, even if there are no symptoms. I recommend visiting a doctor, specifically a urologist, who can provide appropriate testing and guidance. Please ensure to discuss this with your partner as well.

Female | 30
It seems that your husband is experiencing a behavior that is hurting his daily life. More importantly, excessive masturbation is sometimes a coping mechanism for the jitters, anxiety, or depression that may be underlying. Involving him in activities or work-related matters can also be beneficial, but more importantly, addressing the underlying issues together is necessary. Promote an atmosphere of open dialogue about his feelings and discuss getting support from a therapist or sexologist. Therapy can give him the tools to tame his impulses and help him be mentally fit.

Symptoms can be feeling restless or having difficulty concentrating. Pornography addiction can also bring about problems with erections. To counter this, practicing abstinence from porn and getting support from family or a sexologist would be the main steps to take first.

Male | 32
This could be due to stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or even physical problems like low testosterone or diabetes. Symptoms may include trouble getting or maintaining an erection. To fix this, it's essential to work on stress reduction, openly communicating with your partner, a balanced diet, and regular exercise. Regular health check-ups with a sexologist can also discover any underlying health diseases.

I had sex with someone I don't know. And I used condoms for safety. But my mind is full of thought about getting STD and HIV. Still now I don't have any symptoms. Am I safe ?
Male | 25
Using a condom for protection when having sex is good. Condoms are perfect at stopping STDs and HIV as long as they are applied correctly. No symptoms it is a great sign. Symptoms may include sores, discharge, or pain. If you want, get tested for peace of mind. You should always pay attention to your health.

I am 16 years old and have porn and masterbution addiction. How can I overcome?
Male | 16
Being overwhelmed with the consumption of explicit material, and being involved in related behaviors can cause feelings of guilt, anxiety, or distraction from daily activities. This usually happens because of curiosity or stress. For example, limiting screen time and taking up other forms of hobbies such as sports or reading can be incredibly helpful. Creating a supportive circle of friends or family can also be beneficial.

Female | 20
If you were not involved in any form of sexual intercourse and the ejaculation of your boyfriend did not enter your vagina, the likelihood of pregnancy is low. Problems like stomach aches can be due to different things such as anxiety, the digestive system, or muscle pain. The key thing is to take notice of your symptoms. If the suffering continues or becomes worse, I would suggest you go to the gynecologist for personal advice and comfort.

Difficulty in getting aroused sexually may be due to a variety of factors, which include stress, anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalance, or some kind of medicine she might be taking. It is better to go for proper diagnosis and treatment from a qualified sexologist or gynecologist. They can provide counseling services, hormone therapies, or medicines that can help in this condition.

Female | 17
It is natural to be worried about your age of 17 and the weakness of your sexuality. Changes in conduct may occur mainly because of the added masturbation which is a temporary thing. The situation can be caused basically by mental strain, unhealthy habits, or anxiety. In your case, exercising, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep will be very helpful. If the problem persists or becomes even more serious, please consult with a sexologist.
