What Causes Diarrhea Lasting For 3 Months?

Confirm the diagnosis, treat the diarrhea and meet ID specialist
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your health concern.
Now for you, the positive status has to be confirmed by another test (ELISA, Western Blot or with PCR test)
The spell of diarrhea is quite unlikely to be due to HIV disease. Diarrhea in HIV disease can occur after the immunity (CD4 cell count) falls down considerably from your normal status. That would take not less than 5 years usually and unlikely to be within a year or so.
So you can meet a Primary care provider nearby your place. He would be able to treat your diarrheal disease after a motion examination and he would also be able to confirm your HIV status.
He would be the right person to decide to refer you to the infectious Disease specialist after preliminary investigations and treatment.
