Suggest Treatment For Sore Throat, Enlarged Tonsils And White Spots On Tonsils

I m a 28 yr old bi male I had unprotected anal sex for the first time two weeks ago on a Thursday night. The guy was 19 and swore he was clean. We only made out, he performed oral and then I topped him. The next night, Friday I started to feel sick. I have a sore throat, enlarged tonsils, and white spots on tonsils. Dr did strep test and said it wasn t strep, gave levaquin and still didn t go away. Went today so they can do blood work. I read a lot online that it s really unlikely that if I did get something that it would show up that fast, I also read that nothing is conclusive for hiv testing till 3 months. Am I just driving myself crazy and it s all mental that I m making myself sick? Please any advice would help. And yes I learned my lesson about protection, hate having this sickening feeling.

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

There might be possibility of fungal or bacterial infection.
It may be advisable to take -
- Antibiotic like amoxicillin with clavulunic acid.
- Pain killer with decongestant like Tab sinarest.
- Gargle with Luke warm salted water.
- Candid mouth paint for application in throat.
- Avoid cold drinks.
- There may be need for oral anti fungal.

If no relief following investigations may be advisable
- Complete Blood Count.
- CRP, ESR.
- Chest X-ray.
- Throat swab for culture and sensitivity.
- Throat swab for KOH mount & fungal culture.

Regarding early testing for HIV, HIV P24 antigen test is most reliable test.
Negative result indicates there is no HIV infection.
So better to get it done and be relaxed.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote as helpful.
