Have Bronchitis And An Anal Wart. Indication Of Having HIV?
_1589130903.jpg){kind=icon}
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Having bronchitis and an anal wart are NOT specific symptoms or indicators of HIV.
Bronchitis is usually caused due to an infection in the respiratory tract and can occur in anyone.
Regarding the anal wart, these are caused due to infection with a virus called Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). Now, HPV infection is very common (more in women) and more than 50 % of sexually active women have had HPV at some point of time. This virus spreads primarily through sexual contact, but can also spread through skin to skin contact through the hands, mouth, etc. Most cases of HPV infections are asymptomatic and harmless, and gets cleared on its own. However some people can develop symptoms like warts. Having an anal wart is again not a symptom of HIV.
Anal warts respond to anti-wart creams and other medication and it may take a few weeks to subside. However, with such superficial treatments, there is a tendency to reccur. A definitive cure for this is only with ablative procedures like laser or chemical ablation or surgical excision.
I hope I have clarified your doubts.

Hello again,
Bronchitis can recur in a few people, if they have history of asthma or allergies or in smokers. If you don't have any of these risk factors, then it is unlikely to come back.
Regarding the anal wart, it has a high chance of recurring, but if ablative or surgical procedures are done to eradicate it, then the chances are less.

Hi,
There are two possibilities for the white colour on your penis head. One is that it could be "smegma", which is a normal accumulation of dead epithelial cells and oily secretions from the glands of the penis. The second possibility could be a fungal infection (balanitis), which is causing the whitish discharge. Both are not signs of HIV.
For both, the treatment primarily involves maintaining proper genital hygiene. In addition you can try the following remedial measures:
- Wash the area thrice a day with either dilute potassium permanganage solution (potassium permanganate crystals should be available at your local pharmacy, which you can mix half a teaspoon in half 1 litre of water) or you can also use diluted betadine solution (betadine will be availabe in all pharmacies)
- After washing and patting dry with a clean cloth, apply a thin layer of an anti-fungal cream like miconazole (Micoderm) or clotrimazole (Candid), twice a day over the affected areas.
- Keep the surrounding areas clean, sweat-free and dry.
- Avoid using any strongly perfumed soap or shower gels.
- Avoid wearing tight clothing and wear loose cotton underwear
Now, regarding your question about STD and HIV, STD stands for sexually transmitted diseases. There are many sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhoea, syphillis, etc. and HIV is one of the sexually transmitted diseases. Any test for HIV will be conclusive only after 3 months of from the time of unprotected sex. This is because the test may not always be able to detect the virus before this period (called "window period"). So, if you have done the HIV tests after 3 months of the unprotected sexual exposure, then it is confirmed that you don't have HIV. If not, then you will have to repeat the test after this 3 months window period.

Hi,
If you have done the HIV tests after 7 months of exposure, and you have not had any unprotected sex inbetween, then you don't have to worry at all and it is not necessary to repeat the test again.
But, in the future you have to be careful because even oral sex without a condom is risky. Last time you have been lucky and not contracted any infection. So, hereafter, please follow safe sex practices strictly at all times.
Right now, you can stop worrying about HIV and relax...
Wish you all the best.

Hi,
A slight white coating, especially at the basal end is absolutely normal and is present in everyone. It is not indicative of any disease or medical condition. So, you really don't have to worry about this at all.
Take care and wish you good health.
