Question: hi first i got nasal congestion after a week of unprotected sex with unknown hiv status no fever then i took over the counter nasal decongestant and congestion was relieve but was replace by post nasal drip. 5 weeks still with post nasal drip i consulted an ent doctor and i was diagnose having allergic rhinitis which is first time in my life to experience this. i was given allergic medications but still my post nasal drip continues now on its 7th week. i am worried is this a sign of hiv infection?
Brief Answer:
Not a sign of HIV infection
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your query; it suggests that you may not be suffering from the HIV.
I personally suggest to you to take antibiotic after culture and antibiotic sensitivity of post nasal drip.
But to rule out HIV and other diseases you may go for
1. X Ray PNS
2. Blood test for HIV I and II
Thanks
