Question about hiv and low testosterone

It's been two years since my las hiv test and I'm pretty nervous. I'm going ahead and getting tested in a couple weeks. All this crap I see on the internet give a link to low testosterone which I do have. I am getting shots for treatment. I guess I wanna know if it can still be common for a guy under forty to have low testosterone. My doctor tells me the two are not linked but the Internet tells me they are.  I admit I was with a few women that I failed to use protection and it was vaginal with no oral or anal.  I guess I wanna know if anyone knows or have heard about a guy having low testosterone but being hiv negative..thank you.

Low or high testosterone , if you had unprotected test and wanna be aware of your status you can test. A duo test 4 weeks after your last exposure will give you the answer you seek. If negative you can confirm it buy testing three months after your last exposure. Till then take care.

I am going for that test. I just wanted to see if low testosterone was still common. I failed to mention I am bipolar and been on many meds and also overweight. Just wanted to see if there were any males that deal with low testosterone. I already had planned on getting the test.

Post to the relevant forum about your testosterone or ask your doctor. This has nothing to do with hiv

Yes it is possible and common for a guy in his forties to have low testosterone and not have anything to do with HIV or any other diseases.
