Hi mkh9 i went to the hospital  and they kicked and told that i was crazy and needed to see a srink i had a diabets test or that's what the doctor claim to have done in the blood work test a question.when they blood test what do they test for? all i know is when i got back home from seeing this these symptoms slowly  started so u don't what the white spot is?

[mkh9]

I would get checked for diabetes if you haven't yet. Also, get a physical and show them the white spot just in case (don't know what it is). Definitely tell the doctor about the recent weight loss and show them your leg. Describe the symptoms as you did here. HPV is human papillomavirus and can give you oral cancer if you have had it for a long time (years), it is caused by oral sex. It doesn't sound like it fits in your case. Smoking is always a problem in increasing your risk for cancer of the mouth , lungs and other areas. But, your legs is the main real symptom as well as the weight loss and burning pain.Also, show them the white spot that won't go away.  I hope you will go in right away to see what is going on. Please feel free to write here or message me when you get back from the doctor. Of course you can always ask more questions any time.

Hi mkh9 yes my lower left side hurts toward the back area and i have a white spot inside of my lip at the top .i do smoke and i have a history of depsession.im not thirsty all but i drink water to make up for the weigh i lost.what is hpv ? and the white spot in my mouth seem to go away when i drink water. urinate alot but when the urination is long and say my weigh is 196 when i get through urinating my weigh Will be 194

[mkh9]

Also, do you have excessive thirst, urinate a lot? have you had your fasting blood sugar taken? Diabetis will causes sores on legs and weight loss. Possible burning off the legs because you can get nerve damage or peripheral neuropathy. Just a thought.

The only two I can think of right now where you might have sores with cancer are mouth sores due to oral cancer or skin cancer. Do you smoke, chew tobacco or smoke a pipe? and do you have any sores in the mouth? Oral cancer can also be caused by HPV.

Hi, sounds like you are HIV negative. That is great. I'm not sure about cancer and sores. Do you have any other symptoms? What types of sores are they? These are reasons for weight loss:
unexplained weight loss include:

Addison's disease, Cancer, Celiac disease, COPD, Crohn's disease, Dementia, Depression (major depression), Diabetes, Heart failure, HIV/AIDS, Hypercalcemia, Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid), Parkinson's disease, Peptic ulcer. Tuberculosis, Ulcerative colitis

With that much weight loss you need to get an exam by a doctor.  Sounds like you also have sores? Are they on that leg where it burns? Sometimes burning pain can be caused by a lot of things too. Do you feel very tired also?

I've the hiv test 3 months after expposer. I've lost 10 pounds last month and the burning is mainely on my left leg i can get a sandwich and 2pounds Will  come back when i urinate the 2pounds back off does cancer leave sores

[mkh9]

You didn't mention how many months your blood test was for HIV. How much weight loss have you had and over what period of time. Also, what type of burning in your body do you have and where.
thx,

Hi mkh9 i had unprotected sex and had a hiv test at months it came back negative my  question is what could cause my weight loss and buring in my body

[mkh9]

Question #1: It depends if the person has lung TB or another type. If they are coughing and are positive for TB you can get it if you stay in the room  (close contact) for a period of time, such as 15-20 minutes. If the person has another type of TB say only in the bone or spine but not the lung then you wouldn't get it but these are unlikely types. The sex act alone won't give you TB it is the respiratory secretions and coughing etc. that would transmit it to you. There are rare cases of genital TB but I doubt that is what you are talking about. 2. TB causes weight loss, tiredness, night sweats etc. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I have 2 more question 1 can a person catch t.b from sexual contact 2 can a person lose weigh

[mkh9]

I assume you mean sores on the skin and this is what you mean no it does not. It is primarily a disease of the lungs but can spread to other places such as the spine.
