Hello there
I would like you to help me in this confusion i am in....
first of all this is defiantly not my first yeast infection, i am having yeast infections since i was 14.
but this time i've got 2 vaginal yeast infections one before my last month period taking into consideration that i was on Azithromycin antibiotic, and the other yeast infection is right now and i have 3 days left to my period...lately I've had a surgery and been on a course of antibiotics plus i am taking hormone pills "Bellara".
my Doctor asked me to do a blood test for chlamydiae and it came out negative, then a urine test and it came out also fine, and a pap that have shown that i have Candida. 2 weeks ago i've had another pap testing for HPV, Gonorrhea, syphilis, and anything else unusual and i'm still waiting for my results.
now, my doctor thinks i have chronic candida and i've been taking Fluconazol 150mg twice weekly since last month.
i am so scared because i've read over the internet that chronic yeast infection is related to HIV!
i have no HIV symptoms and when i told my doctor about this he said: no way cause it is not that easy to have an HIV with no symptoms. specially that he's been my gynecologist for 4 years and i do a check up every month cause of ovarian cyst problems.
my questions are:
in what stage of HIV does the yeast infection occur?
should i be worried?
does the HIV yeast get treated by taking fluconazol like my case or it never does?
thank you so much
