staphylococcus haemolyticus and hiv

[KKdark]

The culture test of my penile discharge found only one micro organism and it was only staphylococcus haemolyticus. I just wanna know if said staph infection can be caused by hiv? I had an hiv combo test (CMIA) 26 days post exposure (protected oral and vaginal sex with a csw) which came back negative. I read a lot that staph infection is much more common in people with hiv but they are also prevalent among HIV negative people. I am currently taking levofloxacin for treatment and had a shot of ceftriaxone. The culture test showed that the staph was sensitive to cipro so my doctor said levox will cover it and it is actually stronger than cipro, is he right? Plus, how did this staph infection cause this discharge?

Sorry guys, just want to be sure. I haven't been getting answers about this in the std forum and my doctor said a gonoccocal infection can't be ruled out yet.

Happy Birthday Teak!

Not an HIV concern, this forum is HIV specific. You might want to discuss it with your doctor.

Thanks, so how is it that i got this staph infection and can the discharge be non std?

You cannot compare HIV to other kinds of infections, the modes of transmission are totally different.  Bacterial infections would be FAR easier to contract.

Like Lizzie said, you used a condom, therefore no risk for HIV.  The two infections are completely unrelated.

Thanks anyways.

this forum is hiv specific and you don't have a hiv concern.  

if you are having health concerns, continue to work with your dr.

I hope and believe your right. So how did I get the discharge and staph infection? Got any ideas?

[LIZZIE LOU]

you don't get hiv from protected sex

[KKdark]

So that's a no? HIV has absolutely nothing to do with this?
