Diarrhea

Hello. I have been suffering from diarrhea for like a year already, doctors dont seem to know what it is. I've taken the hiv test 3 times this year the last one done on spetember with four months after the previous sexual encounter with another male partner in which i was active (top) and wore a condom. I did insertive oral sex without condom, but still i hear its a low risk.

I guess my question is, given my circumstances and testing negative on september with four months before the last sexual encounter, is it possible that my chronic diarrhea could be hiv related? I'm really worried 'cause doctors are not able to find the cause yet :(

phew! that takes a load off. thanks for your help, I do really appreciate it. People in my country (even health professionals) are not very informed about HIV. Once a doctor told me it can be transmitted by kissing. You get the idea...

What about oral sex? Do you recommend condoms for that as well? or what's the safety advice for that? Honestly...

Well when they put that into your head it gives you doudt, but be assured that will never effect your results buds, its pure scare mongering, but pathetic tbh.

As long as you use condoms, you will be safe from HIV :)
