Penile Yeast Infection & Acinetobacter, HIV?
If someone could answer the following it would help ease my mind a bit:
I had unprotected sex in Latin America (once, and regretting ever since)-- 3 weeks later I had a urinary tract infection and figured out that I had Candida (Penile Yeast Infection)-- but the weird thing that was discovered was also Acinetobacter spp. Any ideas of my risk for HIV is amplified if this bacteria was found?
Next week I will take my first HIV test (at 8 weeks)-- but am worried by this rare bacteria (which causes infections in immunocompromised patients).
Thanks so much.

Thanks so much nurse-girl. Any idea though-- if the woman was HIV+, that because she passed me yeast the virus would pass as well? Thanks.
Acineobactor is simply a bacteria they found in your urine...which for a urinary tract infection---this type of bacteria is becoming more common.
It has NOTHING to do with HIV!
