Are Groin Pain And Skin Itching Signs Of HIV Infection?
so I had sex with an unfamiliar female on july 4th. Never had a worry in my mind that i had anything. Got tested in AUG for HIV, came back neg. around Aug and Sept I felt burning sensation during urination so i got a urine test came back positive for chlamydia in mid sept. I recieved medication and went on my merry ole way. After that i started worrying well what if thats not all i have and i started making things up in my head like i thought i had swelling at the tip of my penis in which the doctor said it was nothing. so from that point i got another urine test and a blood test both came back positive. About a week after that underneath my armpits kinda hurt. so i looked up other stds and HIV was one i came across. Next thing you know My neck kinda hurt and my groin felt funny. its now jan and sometimes it feels like my muscles around my throat are pushing against my throat, sometimes i have pain in my groin but i look and there is no swelling or anything too my knowledge of it being swollen and i check my mouth every time i pass a mirror to see if i have thrush. My mind is going insane everything little red blotch or itch or pain i feel like it is HIV. If i had sex in July would the test in nov be accurate enough to say i dont have it. and if i had chlamydia i believe i read someone if untreated can lead to HIV what are the chances?
Thank you for query.The chances of transmission of HIV by sexual route is 1/ 200 to 1/2000 even if the partner is HIV infected.The symptoms mentioned are non specific and may not be related to HIV.Other STds do not get converted to HIV if untreated.if a person is infected with HIV only will get HIV. You can go for HIV RNA PCR at this stage or later to rule out HIV as you have lots of anxiety for HIV .It is accurate and you need not go for test again or wait for 6 months.Take treatment for chlamydia as prescribed by your doctor.You can get back for any clarifications with details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and venereologist.
