Are Rashes On The Thigh, Chronic Rhinitis And Bronchitis Signs Of HIV Infection?
Question: Dear Dr.P.T XXXXXXX I ask for your help!
I bought a sex toy for male on February 2016.
I used it without washing or taking condom.
The toy looks new but I am not sure if it is Wet as I used directly with lubricants.
I am quite afraid this is a second hand product and used by someone who have HIV .The delivering hour is about 8 hours in most.
The next day after using it , I have some itch rash at thigh, and the doctor said it looks like been bitten by some bug.
In the next 4 months until now, I continue to have chronic rhinitis for several months and acute bronchitis for one month .And my tongue looks much more white than before.
I have caught cold for more than 2 months and not OK until now,I am really scared.Looks like immunity decrease lower than before.
I want to know if fake vagina is a closed environment(with sealed package) , can HIV survive in the wet seminal fluid or female secretion for how many hours in most with Transfection ability? Is there any data or information for this?
How big is the risk for me to infected HIV from Probability and medical point of view?I never had sex experience before.

Brief Answer:
There is no possibility of you acquiring HIV .
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have recently purchased sex toy and have been using it and have general symptoms of Upper Respiratory tract infection since couple of month .It has created a doubt in your mind about acquiring HIV infection due to the toy being used earlier by some one who is HIV positive and the same one is being supplied to you .
At the outset I would state that HIV viruses can survive outside vaginal or seminal fluid for few minutes hence it is most unlikely that it was active (HIV infected) while being used by you .
The symptoms that you have could be due to general URTI which is very common and can be treated with appropriate antibiotics and anti allergic medications .
You may get your basic screening tests for HIV done and repeat the same after 3 months to be rest assured that you have not acquired HIV.This will help you to allay your anxiety and keep your mind relaxed .
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
