Question 1

I'm really concerned about my father's condition. He's had an enlarged prostate for the past two years, and despite taking medication, there hasn't been any improvement. The report says his prostate size is 284435mm, with a volume of 24cc, and it's mildly enlarged with normal echotexture. He still has to rush to the toilet frequently. What should we do next? Is there any other treatment or approach we should consider?

Accepted Answer

I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with accurate information.

_HIV Symptoms and Timeline_

HIV symptoms can appear anywhere from 2-4 weeks after exposure, with most people experiencing symptoms within 2-3 weeks. The fever you experienced within 18 hours of exposure is unlikely to be related to HIV.

_Other Possible Causes of Fever_

Consider other possible causes of your fever, such as:

1. _Other STIs_: Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STIs could cause fever.
2. _Viral infections_: Common viral infections like the flu or a cold could cause fever.
3. _Allergic reactions_: An allergic reaction to something else could cause fever.

_Reducing HIV Risk_

Although you used a condom, the 5-second bare skin contact may pose a minimal risk. However:

1. _Condom efficacy_: Condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly.
2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: If you're concerned about HIV exposure, consult a healthcare provider about PEP within 72 hours of exposure.

_Next Steps_

1. _Get tested_: Consider getting tested for HIV and other STIs 2-3 weeks after exposure.
2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Discuss your concerns and symptoms with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance.

Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about HIV or other STIs.

Question 2

I'm experiencing a lot of sensitivity on the head of my penis, to the point where touching or massaging it is really uncomfortable. This is affecting my sex life because it's causing me to ejaculate too quickly. When I'm erect, touching it is almost unbearable. Do you have any advice on how I can manage this sensitivity?

Question 3

I'm noticing a problem when I go to the bathroom. After I finish urinating, there are still a few drops that keep coming out for about 5 minutes afterward. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this and what I can do about it. Could you help me understand what's going on and suggest any possible treatments?
