How Does HIV Transmission Occur from Female to Male?
Hello, I'm reaching out on behalf of my brother, who is a 32 year old male. Recently, he was diagnosed with HIV, and we are trying to understand the specifics of the condition. I'm particularly concerned about the possibility of HIV transmission from female to male. Can you provide information on the risks and preventive measures in such cases? We want to ensure he receives the best care and takes necessary precautions.

For a person already diagnosed with HIV, it’s crucial to adhere to prescribed antiretroviral therapy (ART) to manage the condition. Regular medical check-ups are also important. Safe practices, including using barrier methods during sexual contact, can prevent further transmission. Please consult an infectious disease specialist for personalized advice.

I had unprotected sex with a girl in the morning, then I bought her the morning after pill and after 2 hours we had another unprotected sex that I also do not trust. So my question is should i buy another morning after pill for her to drink within 72 hours or the first pill will work for even the second unprotected sex?
Female | 19
Morning after pill effectiveness is highest when taken within 72 hours of unsafe sex. After that time period, it may not work. For the second instance of unsafe sex, get another morning after pill. Don't rely on protection from the previous pill. Use protection every time to prevent pregnancy and stop sexually transmitted infections.

I think I may have been exposed to HIV after having sex on the 8th of July.I have take.n multiple Rapid tests. 1 on the 17th which was negative, another on the 30th which was also negative again..I'm worried..What is your advice?
Male | 32
You can be sure you don't have a particular disease since the results were negative. Sometimes, the virus may take a couple of weeks to become detectable in the tests. Fever, fatigue, and the swelling of lymph nodes are indeed some of the possible symptoms of HIV. In any case, these symptoms may result from other ailments. If you're concerned, it's always safer to keep taking regular tests.

Am 36 years am wet dreams at night is it natural sir.
Male | 36
Your age means that it’s completely normal for guys your age to have wet dreams. It happens when extra fluids are released by the body during sleep Sometimes this is caused due to sexual thoughts, or because there wasn't enough time before going to bed for all necessary liquid releases. You should relax before going to sleep and avoid any stimulating activities so as not increase the likelihood of having a wet dream It needn't be worried about, as this occurs naturally!

I am a 21 year old male and I saw a urologist for a groin pull back when I was 18. Upon examination he said my testicles were a little small. I measure at about 2x2 inches for both. Do these measurement seem a little small ? I think I notice a change in size myself. I had my testosterone levels tested and came back normal. What could be causing the atrophy and is it reversible ? I had an orchiopexy when I was 12 to prevent torsion. I had pain in my testicles back then but wasn’t torsion, surgery was done to prevent such occurrence. Can tacking the testicles cause atrophy overtime ? I don’t drink, smoke, or do drugs. I keep myself healthy as much as possible. Is there a correlation between ejaculation frequency and testicle shrinkage ? Thanks

I have an issue about sex..In my mind mostly i was thinking about oral sex with boy and thinking about incest so i want a solution about these problems
Male | 25
It's natural to be worried about sexual thoughts. Having thoughts of oral sex and incest can be disturbing. Symptoms may involve feeling anxious or guilty. This could be due to personal experiences or the influence of media. To get over these concerns, try speaking with a counselor or therapist who can offer you support as well as help you understand why you have them and how to deal with them.

I masturbrated with hairbrush last night and it’s bleeding now
Female | 27
It sounds like you may have hurt yourself during the activity. Bleeding from that area can happen if there was too much friction or pressure. It's important to wash gently with water and keep the area clean. Avoid any further rubbing or pressure. Let it heal naturally. If bleeding continues, seems excessive, or you experience any pain or signs of infection, visit a doctor.

Male | 24
These signs might be because of many things such as stress or bad eating habits. But don’t worry, your brother’s test result was negative which is good news but to ease your mind, you should also take an HIV test among others after discussing with a doctor about the issues at hand.

I feel like lazy and disturbed after the masturbation. Why??
Male | 23
After you have masturbated, it is quite normal to fee tired or distracted. While you are doing this, the body produces certain chemicals that can leave you feeling exhausted. Self-discomfort may be experienced if one starts feeling guilty about the whole thing. Drinking enough water, eating nutritious foods and sleeping well can help boost your morale.

I have an ED problem as well as PE due to masturbation
Male | 30
Facing erection difficulties and premature ejaculation after self-pleasure can be upsetting. Signs include struggling to maintain erections and reaching orgasm quicker than desired. Factors such as worry, tension, or overstimulation may contribute. One approach is to pause self-pleasure and try relaxation techniques. However, discussing concerns with a sexologist can reveal effective solutions if problems persist.

Me and my girlfriend wear wearing the underwear and I rub my penis without any ejaculation will she be pregnant pls tell me I'm in stree
Female | 17
Considering the circumstances, it is improbable that your girlfriend could become pregnant if there was no ejaculation. Nevertheless, it is good to realize that any genital contact has some risk involved. Therefore, if she starts experiencing any unusual signs like missing her periods or having abnormal bleeding; I advise you to go for a pregnancy test so that you can be sure about everything.

Male | Ranjit Singh
Experiencing challenges in getting and maintaining erections can be difficult. It is known as Erectile Dysfunction (ED). The symptoms may include having problems achieving an erection or keeping one. Possible causes may be stress, anxiety, health conditions, or even medications you are taking. Therefore it is important that you talk with your partner openly about this matter and also seek advice from a sexologist who would guide you.

Last week of june I met with my gf. We didn't had sex, but did the foreplay thing. For protection I wore condom also with my boxers on. My concern is that two time I changed the condoms after I cum and while changing the condoms, sperm comes in contact with my fingers and after that we did foreplay (fingering in vagina). So how much possibilities that sperm from my fingers will went inside her vagina that will lead to pregnancy as she is on her ovulation period. Her last period started on 14th june, cycle 28 to 30 days. I know now nothing can be done other than, just to wait for period to come. But before consulting you I consulted a sexologist. He told me to to connect to a gynecologist. They will provide you with a better solution. Whether it is practically possible or not. Sperms comes in contact with fingers. After that it comes in contact with other things also like blanket. Than this fingering thing happened. So in such case. Are sperms healthy for fertilisation that can seriously lead to pregnancy. Mentally it is affecting us a lot. First time we are facing this issue don't know what to do. Is it really serious. As no intercourse happened or ejaculation inside her. Concerned about the fingers on sperm. While fingering*

I made sex with strange woman 17 days ago , now i am afread of HIV virus . But untill now i do not have any syptoms . So , when can i make 100% sure that i did not take the virus . If one month pass after last sex without any syptoms , It means that all right and 100% sure that i did infected by virus ?!?!?
Male | 32
It’s good you haven’t had any symptoms yet. Usually people get them within 2-4 weeks after they are exposed. However, some don’t show signs for years. To be 100% sure, it is important to take the HIV test 3 months from now. While waiting, take good care of yourself .

i had unprotected sex 2 days after my partner took plan b (escapelle) does she need to take it again? Is there a risk of her getting pregnant?
Other | 19
If you had unprotected sex two days after your partner took Plan B (Escapelle), she generally does not need to take it again. Plan B can be effective if taken within 72 hours after unprotected sex. However, there is still a small risk of pregnancy. For personalized advice, please consult a gynecologist.

While having intercource my penis skin rolls down and the exposed part gets is too sensitive and I can't continue further pls help
Male | 24
You might have an issue called phimosis. The situation involves the fact that the foreskin is hard and can not be retracted apart easily. It can lead to sensitivity and uncomfortable feelings during sex which becomes painful. At first, you should see a urologist to get a diagnosis. This procedure involves alternatives such as manual stretching of the foreskin, creams, or in rare cases: circumcision.

My partner is being treated for an sti.what treatment should I take just in case am also infected?
Female | 38
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) sometimes don't show symptoms. However, they can still spread. When your partner gets treated for an STI, you should also see a doctor. The doctor will run tests to check if you have the same infection. If so, they'll provide the proper treatment. Getting tested protects you and others. Even without obvious signs, STIs can transmit unseen.
