Could My Symptoms Indicate HIV After Recent Sexual Encounter?
What are the chances that I could have HIV here. I am male and had sex with a woman around a month ago. Halfway through the condom slipped off and I only noticed two minutes after. She assured me she has only slept with one other person but I am not sure if she knows the other person’s health status. I also had some of her vaginal secretions on my finger and forgot that I had yet to wash my hands after and picked my nose, which was a little crusted over because I had a bit of a bloody nose from earlier in the day. The next day she told me that she felt like she had the flu but I felt fine, but the day after that I felt a bit fatigued. The fatigue got better but did not completely wear off after three days, but by then I was on vacation so I drank alcohol for 4 days straight. After those 4 days, I fully felt like I had the flu. I did not feel like I had a fever but I was coughing heavily, my body was really achey, and l had a sore throat. This got better after 4 days, and I suspect I passed this flu onto two of my friends. I say suspect because I am not sure if these are acute symptoms vs the actual flu. The following two weeks after most of my symptoms were gone I felt better but would get random pangs of fatigue occasionally that would be gone after a couple of hours. Additionally, I may have never noticed this before but I could palpate my submandibular glands (which I am not sure if this has always been the case and I just have not noticed), but they don’t feel swollen and feel very normal. I have no swollen lymph nodes I think, but my tongue has become slightly more white than usual, and I had a tiny ulcer on it. This occurred around 2 weeks after recovering from the flu. I don’t think it’s oral thrush because I can’t wipe it off and it doesn’t hurt at all, and it sort of just looks like all my other friends’ tongues, but nonetheless I think it is a bit whiter than usual. I started scraping at my tongue with my nails here and there and could see some white residue occasionally, and I think I have some lie bumps on the tip of my tongue that developed 3 weeks after I recovered from the flu. Last thing is, I have been drinking pretty heavily during the weekends for a while. The only three symptoms I still see now is a slightly whiter than usual tongue that gets a bit better when I exercise or brush my tongue, the new lie bumps, and palpable yet not swollen submandibular glands. What are the chances these are actual acute symptoms vs me just being paranoid (I will be testing myself in the following week - have been waiting so that the test results will be accurate)

Considering the chance of getting HIV from having unprotected sex is important. For instance, the symptoms such as tiredness, flulike symptoms, white coated tongue as well as lie bumps which you explained could mean several things and not necessarily that someone has been infected with this virus. It’s good that you intend to go for testing; that way one can never be too sure unless they get checked for it.

I am 21 years old and this is embarrassing but I’m having an issue with my balls. They’ve always been tight for some reason and haven’t ever been relaxed or hang but every time I jerk off or have sex my balls go up and under my skin and it’s uncomfortable. I can’t really push them back down because the sack is so tight. It’s even more uncomfortable when I’m having sex though because they aren’t hanging so they are getting hit every time which hurts. It also hurts when they are like that and I cum. Is there any way I can make them relaxed and hang lower? Thanks
Male | 21
Maybe you have testicular retraction. This is when the muscles in your scrotum pull your testicles up towards your body instead of letting them hang down like they should. This can be uncomfortable and even painful during sex or ejaculation. To help make your testicles hang lower and feel more comfortable, try taking warm baths or using supportive underwear. If the problem does not go away, it is best to see a doctor for help.

SIR I HAVE ERECTION PROBLEMI AM 60 YEARS OLD.CAN I USE SILDENAFIL. I DONT HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS NO DIABETIC,BP NORMAL, I AM NOT USING ANY DRUGS. I AM DOING REGULAR EXERCISES. IF SO HOW CAN I BUY IT.
Male | 60
You're suffering from some problems with getting and holding an erection. This is known as Erectile Dysfunction. Though you are, in general, healthy you may have this issue because you have advanced in age as a man. Sildenafil being a great choice which is much better to use often gives erections. The medicine is for sale at the pharmacy and must be prescribed by a doctor. Still, a primary doctor is necessary to examine and get proper advice on whether it is safe for you to take the medication.

Female | 29
Feeling worried is understandable. Pain during intimacy, if it's a new issue, could be caused by dryness, infection, or muscle spasms. Don't hesitate to confide in your spouse. See your doctor; they can guide you. Trying lubricants might help, or treat any infection present.

पुरुष | 28
When you wake up, if you do not get morning erections, it could be because of several reasons. The most common reasons like stress, diarrhea, or lack of sleep are included. For a healthy lifestyle, observe healthy eating, regular exercise, and relaxation methods. If it remains a problem, then get advice from a health specialist.

Hai i have intmitaion time my penies not geting hard please give suggestion how to get hardness my penies
Male | 32
It seems you're having trouble getting an erection. This is a common problem, also known as erectile dysfunction (ED). Stress, anxiety or even conditions such as diabetes may lead to it. Relaxing more, eating better and doing regular exercise can help make your penis harder. If this doesn’t work though, then please see a sexologist who will be able to provide further advice on what steps you should take next.

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.
Male | 32
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.

Before having sex i wore condom inside out by mistake and in rush instead of using another i used same by flipping it. so is there any chances that if there was any precum, it can make my partner pregnant? and its been 5 days since that sex. what are the things we can do to avoid smallest chances of pregnancy?
Male | 26
If there was any precum and you put the condom on inside out but then flipped it, there might be a small chance of pregnancy, but it’s not very likely. It’s only been 5 days since that happened, so it’s too early for her to have any signs of being pregnant. To make things even safer, suggest to her that she should use emergency contraception such as the morning-after pill. This will stop the egg from being fertilized. Also, just to be cautious, watch out for any unusual symptoms in your partner within the next few weeks like missing a period or having strange bleeding.

Male | 28
It sounds like you're experiencing difficulties satisfying your wife during sex. This could be due to various reasons such as stress, fatigue, or underlying health issues. I would advise you to consult with a urologist to address any potential medical concerns and a sex therapist to explore techniques for improving intimacy and satisfaction in your relationship.

I am 22 years I have premature ejaculation
Male | 22
Premature ejaculation is a condition that is characterized by the fact that the man finishes too soon during sex, in most cases a minute. The most common symptoms are the quick finish, the stress, and the avoidance of intimacy. Causes can be anxiety, excitement, or bad experiences that one has gone through. Don't panic, there are ways to help, such as breathing exercises, changing positions, or talking openly with your partner to reduce stress.

hello! so after my bf cummed, he has sperm on his left hand the most but on the other hand there are only a few or just a teeny tiny amount of sperm in it. he wiped both hands with a cloth and he rinsed both of his hands with milktea ( to ensure there are no other sperm alive and also bc that is the only liquid with us at the moment ) and used the same cloth to dry his hands and proceeds to finger me with the right hand ( which only has a tiny amount of sperm ) are there chances of pregnancy? i’m so scared bc i have been bloated since that day and was nauseous just yesterday. but the bloating part was on and off and it only occurs time to time
Female | 20
It’s highly improbable you could be pregnant now. There were very few sperms on the hand, moreover, they most likely died after being rinsed off with milk tea. The abdominal distention and vomiting might have nothing to do with pregnancy. The thing is that different things such as eating habits, stress, or hormonal background can cause bloating and nausea. If these symptoms do not go away, I suggest visiting a gynecologist who will help you figure out what’s going on and how to deal with it.

I've been struggling with frequent urges to masturbate and I'm not sure how to overcome this habit. It's becoming a daily struggle, sometimes happening multiple times a day. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how to manage or reduce these urges ?
Male | 22
This feeling is common; don't worry. However, if it's really troubling you, it may indicate stress or other issues. Try discovering new hobbies or workouts to occupy your thoughts. Confide in someone trustworthy about your emotions. Engage yourself – perhaps read, draw, or take a stroll to divert your mind.

Male | 39
It's essential to comprehend that not ejaculating might occur because of a variety of reasons. It could be because of stress, certain medicines, or even a blockage in tubes. If you feel any pain, or discomfort or observe any differences down there, it's wise to speak to a sexologist.

Getting a hard penis is tough sometimes. You might feel tired or stressed. Some drugs can make it hard too. Remember to relax and rest more. Talk to a doctor if drugs are the problem. If the issue keeps happening, it is important to see a urologist.

I’m 20 I have small penis how can I increase size
Male | 20
Different penis sizes are normal for men. Having a small penis is not usually a health issue. It is more about genes. Penis size does not impact sexual function. But sometimes, stress or worry can make you concerned about it. If you feel worried, it is important to talk to someone you trust, like a sexologist or counselor.

Male | 22
Many men struggle with rapid semen discharge, hampering intimate encounters. Premature ejaculation often stems from stress, anxiety, or arousal. Techniques like slowing your pace, deep breathing exercises, and concentrating on your partner may help delay climax. This common issue needn't cause concern; managing it takes practice and patience. You can improve with time, maintaining fulfilling intimacy.

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 .

Male | 22
First things first – masturbation won’t affect your chances of having children later on in life. It’s normal and won’t hurt your fertility at all. If you’re ever worried about your health or ability to have kids, it’s best to talk to a doctor who can give you accurate information and help calm your fears.
