Question

I'm really worried and have a question I've been thinking about. After having intercourse, how long does it usually take before you might start to notice any symptoms of HIV? Would it be a matter of months?

Question

I'm really worried about a testosterone propionate injection I had on my butt. It's been over two weeks now, and things just seem to be getting worseI keep getting fevers, and there's a lump where the injection was with increasing swelling. Do you think another surgery could help? What should I do? I'm looking for advice on this.

Question

I'm Rajesh and recently I had a brief encounter with a sex worker, but I used two condoms for protection. It happened on the 8th of June 2018, and about 26 days later, I went for an HIV duo 4th generation test, which came back negative with a result of 0.09. Lately, I've developed a cold, cough, and some throat pain that I think could just be due to the weather. Can I trust these test results and get back to my regular routine, or should I be concerned? I'm really anxious about this and could use some guidance.

Question

I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.
