MD-HHH says "I AM FINE"
Hi everyone
i posted my exposure on the doctor's forum here on Medhelp and i got the answer from Doctor MD-HHH
Here is the reply....
1) I only briefly scanned your message after the first couple of sentences. You cannot catch HIV by hand-genital contact, regardless of whether she "may have touched her vagina". You were not at risk for HIV and did not need testing. But your negative tests show you were not infected. HIV does not cause pea sized lumps. You do not need further testing. Continue to follow up with your doctor if you remain concerned.
Regards-- HHH, MD
Then i asked him a question :but then dunt the 3 pea sized lumps under my left arm say anything?i mean ars etc? i hope not
2) To which he replied : I deleted all your "yes but" and "what if" questions. If you're so convinced you are infected despite all evidence, why did you come the the forum in the first place? Presumably it was for reassurance that you don't have HIV. I gave it. Accept it and move on.
This thread is over.
Now what do u guys say?
i am just concerned becoz he says " HIV does not cause pea sized lumps " (which i had & have under my left arm -keeps coming n going past 1 month with pain there.)
Is it true that hiv does not cause pea sized lumps?i guess what he meant was that Hiv causes huge/big lumps and not pea sized lumps. Is it true?becoz where ever i read Most of the places it said that "Pea sized lumps"
