Hi.
As per your case history of itchy penis and weight loss, my treatment advice is -
1. Hiv may be negative if tested in window period, so get a repeat check up after 3 months.
2. You may be just having a fungal infection on penis leading to itching.
3. Apply an antifungal cream like clotrimazole cream twice daily on it.
4. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for itching.
5. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, fluconazole and itraconazole taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
