As you know, Dr. Handsfield and I share the forum. You got me this time. FYI, the reason we share the forum is because we have worked together for nearly 30 years and while our verbiage styles vary, we have never disagreed on management strategies or advice to clients.
The reason that Dr. Handsfield cut off your earlier interchange is that you proven with testing that you did not get HIV through the low risk exposure you described. The same can be said for other STDs. You did not get infected from this exposure. It is now time for you to stop testing, stop worrying and move on.
They symptoms you describe are quite non-specific and in the context of your negative tests are certainly not due to any STD. You need to move on and stop worrying about STD/HIV consequences of the exposure you clearly feel guilty about.
I will not engage in a long series of "what it" exchanges. You need to stop worrying. Further testing of any sort is a waste of time and money. I hope the additional reassurance I am trying to give you will all you to do this. EWH
and an addition,
i went to both infection diseases and urology doctors and get checked several days.
i had a white on the back of my tongue, doctor said its normal
and i have a redness whenever after i took a shower, daily after the bath in about 30 - 40 minutes it goes away
i had diarrhea for several days, it stays for 2 days and goes away than it comes back, but for about 10 days it doesn't happen.
i also have some ache on my belly, sometimes a little pain just comes and goes on underarms and groin
may be these can be helpful
one more addition; today is my 55 th day after exposion
thanks a lot doctor EWH
you really shined to my day
There are many information over the web and i couldn't get spesific answers from physicians i visited. The only thing i think about is my family and nothing else
The physician told me to get tested for Hepatitis, Herpes, Syphillis , HIV and other STD at 3 months, and with this knownledge i even get very afraid to touch my wife and my baby
please see me as the dumbest person ever in the world, you mean i do not need any kind of testing on any STD?
This will be the last question and i'm seeking for your advice
Thanks doctor
Kind Regards

Dear Doctor
I' sorry to interrupting you.
The rash on my body makes my mind crazy.
I have rash on my face,cheeks, on my head ( i'm bald ), on my both cheekbones ( they are peeling) , on the place between my neck and shoulders. None of them are itching.
When i take a shower, the ones on my neck comes clearer and than they go away.
Can this be a sign of anything? I'm really scared about these
as an addition, i haven't used any kind of drugs, antibiotics, creams and etc.
And the rash is over there for a long time
You need to see a dermatologist or other health care provide about these issues. I would not be worried about STDs as the cause of your rash. EWH
Dear Doctor
Thanks for your advise,
I went to a dermatologist and she said the redness on my body is seboreic dermatitis
I'm taking some kind of medicine regardingly
Just my last question ever, is my hepatitis B test conclusive at 49 days?
Thanks
sakaratci
This will be the last answer. Hepatitis B is quite rare as an STD. Definitive testing for hepatitis B would be at 3 months following exposure. In the meantime, I really would not worry.
Further questions will be deleted without comment. You need to move forward, not be worried about this past exposure. EWH
Thanks a lot doctor for all you did
Sure there will be no more posts
All the best
