Yest infection an early sign of hiv?

I have suffered 2 yeast infections in 5 weeks.  I keep reading that this is an early sign of hiv.  I recently had a negative hiv test at 3 mos after a possible exposure.  After the relief of the test, I am frustrated to have to worry about hiv again after all that I have read.  What do you all think?

This is an HIV forum and you don't have HIV. Look else where for why you have an itchy penis.

Andy, you probably have yeast or (other) fungus infection. If you are un-cut, this is common from foreskin problems (unfortunately for us foreskinners). This is far far far more common then hiv ever is. Doctors sometimes have had time finding anything to cure this or ease, when it starts it's pretty presistant (but usually comes and goes in flame ups). Not considered std.

Thank you for your reply Teak. Im still worried as I keep geting a itchy penis plus yeast inections and I am also geting tingles up my hands and arms!!  went see a uroligist recentley there testing a urine sample not sure for what as I have already had my urine tested at the clinic, plus had another blood test. If they come back ok I HOPE!! they will insert a camera down my penis in to my bladder to find out what is going on!!

I hope you took hyper tension as high BP. I had this sensation on feet when I had high BP and a doctor said BP causes this.

Hi

I am extremley worried i Keep getting tingling sensations up down my arms and around my body, It keep happening for no reason. I also have terrible itch on my penis which keeps getting yest infections. Could be HIV or some other infection or disease??
I have been reffered to a uroilgist which is later this week.
I have had a number of tests have come back fine, but something serious is going on. This is not in my head these symptoms happen on there own!!

no it cannot be spread through wet tissue!!!!!  hiv becomes inactive outside it's host.

you have a 12 week negative test result and do NOT have a hiv concern.  move on!

Hi I had sex with a prostitue in london soho, I was drunk probaley stupid thing to do!! after having sex she handed me a wet tissue, i looked puzzled has they usually give you dry tissue's she said it was just water she was rubbing her vagina with another one, I used the tissue because I was drunk, but now Im extremely worried she put something on the tissue!!

I also gave a guy oral sex night that night for five mins, which makes me is something to do with him.

some days or weeks later I had number  of symptoms spots on my penis which was bright orange, plus there was horrible fishy smell plus sores around the outside of mouth and I keep geting yeast infections. I was also ill for a week or so. I have been to a GUM clinc got tested after 6 and 12 weeks and all test results where negative. Im currently taking Econazole cream to clear up the yeat infections.
Can hiv be spread through wet tissue???
