Hi,
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
As the test for antibodies have come negative after 4 and 8 months exposure. I consider it as negative and you can allay fears of HIV. The antigen has not been tested in this report.
Moreover The second exposure is also not a risk for HIV.

Do you feel that this test report is authentic? I am suffering from post nasal drip and voice changing. Since last 4 days I have ring warm at groin area.
It is more than 4 to 8 months such rash symptoms appear. Is it other STD?
If it is ring worm, how to treat it. I am in Kazakhstan and all necessary drugs not available here. I have Itch guard with me which I started applying since last 2 days.
Regards

Brief Answer:
authentic if from accredited lab
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
If test is done at a well recognised or accredited lab it is authentic and you need not worry.
Post Nasal drip may be due simple respiratory infection due to respiratory contact with any individuals.
Fungal infection is known for recurrence and is not std.you can apply itchguard.if available go for terbinafine creams.wear loose innerwears.see that there is no retention of moisture. Use antifungal dusting powders like candid or absorb to prevent recurrence .
You can get back for any clarification else close the discussion and rate.

Dear Sir,
As per your advise I applied itch guard and candid powder. The old sores are drying up, but there are new blisters. I am attaching the photo for your consultation.
Are you still suggesting the same medicine? Is it just fungal infection or something else?

But I found new blisters appearing. Though not in much number.
Brief Answer:
change itchguard to plain antifungal cream
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
I would have changed from itch guard to a clotrimazole cream like candid cream or terbinafine cream like sebifin.As itch guard has other ingredients which may be reason it is better to have plain antifungal cream than combination.

Hi Doctor,
I did not close the discussion to update you about the status of the rash.
It dried a lot. The nearby skin on the testicle became dry and skin went off. I am attaching the photographs.
Need your opinion. Shall I still continue the same medicine?
