Hiv and joint/masculine problem
Hi to all, I got a test and it came out positive for Chlamydia..my question is that I developed on my left hand a joint pain which takes more than 1 week to recover, anyway during treatment for Chlamydia I developed one another symptom which was that I couldn't rotate my head to left and couldn't raise my head totally towards the back due to the neck pain .. my question is this problem can be related with HIV ?

Those aren't known symptoms of HIV. If you are concerned about HIV, the only way to know your status is to take a test. HIV cannot be ruled in or ruled out based on ANY symptoms, or lack of symptoms. Test to know your status.

Of course I will be tested but I m in 2nd month so I need to wait I think to go for a test .. so you mean having joint pain is not a symptom?
It isn't a symptom. There is NO point in focusing on any medical issues you experience, because they will not be helpful in determining if you have HIV.

I had a condom break during vaginal intercourse, it took a few minutes that realized but there was blood on my penis and as a result I got Chlamydia..the woman is a normal woman but we met on a dating application
Take a duo after 4 weeks or any other after 12 for a conclusive result. Nothing else to do but test.
