I'm feeling really concerned about some symptoms. Is it possible for a burning sensation in the penis to be an initial symptom of HIV, even if I don't have any fever or other symptoms?

Initial symptoms of HIV can vary, but common ones include flu-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and body aches, while penis burning or urethral discharge can be symptoms of other conditions like urinary tract infections (UTIs) or sexually transmitted infections (STIs); however, some people with acute HIV infection may experience genital or anal ulcers, or urethral discharge, so if you're concerned, consult a healthcare provider for testing and evaluation.

I'm really worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist
