Evet arkadaşlar Dr. Handsfield e 3. ve son soru hakkımıda kullandım. Malesef sorulara çok ayrıntılı cevap vermemiş ama ben yine soru ve cevapları ingilizce ve türkçe olarak paylaşıyorum.
SORU İNG:
Thank you very much for your advice, Dr. Handfield. You really would have removed a lot of worries about HIV. Finally, I want to ask a few questions.
1- Today is the 57th day of my risky relationship. And my throat has been sore for 2 days and this has stressed me.(difficult swallowing) (I have smoked a lot now, maybe for this reason) And there were very small wounds on my wife's feet and on the kneecap. Can we say that these are not definitely related to Hiv and ARS?
2- When should I be tested for other sexually transmitted diseases? (Syphilis, Cylamidia, Hepatitis, etc.) Can even an advanced syphilis be cured?
3-In general, do all of the symptoms of ARS occur at the same time, or a sore throat first, a skin rash after 1 week after a sore throat and maybe 2 weeks later headache etc. Can you tell me how the symptoms of ARS progress and how long it lasts?
2- The second window duration is mentioned about Hiv on the Internet, is that real?
4- After my 42nd day negative test, I will not be tested again, are we sure about this?
This was my last question right, thank you very much for your services and advice.
I hope the Covid-19 outbreak ends as soon as possible, and valuable doctors like you can work in better conditions.
I'm so sorry I forgot to ask, doctor. Which sexual disease can be related to aphtha problem in my mouth other than HIV? Thanks again
Thanks for everything. I am very lucky to have found you.
CEVAP İNG:
1,3) Your test results prove HIV is not the cause of your sore throat or any of these symptoms; and that no symptoms you ever have in the future can be due to HIV from the exposure you are worried about. Therefore the details of the symptoms and their timing don't matter.
2) All those STDs can have valid testing now, if you wish. It's optional -- since a condom was used, the chance of any STD is very low. If you decide to do it, have a blood test for syphilis and a urine test for chlamydia and gonorrhea. I recommend against testing for anything else: the chance of any other STD (herpes, viral hepatitis, etc) is zero for all practical purposes from this sort of exposure. For sure don't test for herpes: the tests are not perfect and the results often are misleading.
4) Correct, no worries and no need for any more HIV tests.
5) No STD is a likely cause of apthous ulcers of the mouth.
That completes the two follow-up questions and replies included with each original question and so ends this thread. Thanks for the thanks; I'm glad to have helped. Best wishes and stay safe.
