I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really concerned. During intercourse, I noticed that the foreskin on my penis gets cut at the lower inner joint. It bleeds quite a lot when it happens, although it does stop eventually. This has been worrying me since it first happened about 34 days ago. The cut is still open and in the process of healing. I'm also diabetic, which I know might make things a bit more complicated. Is this something serious? Should I be considering seeing a doctor about this?

It's important to get the cut checked by a doctor, especially with diabetes, as healing can be slower, and there's a risk of infection. If it's not healing properly or if you experience pain, swelling, or redness, please consult a healthcare professional for proper care.

I'm feeling pretty worried because I notice precum leakage whenever I get sexually aroused, which really makes me uncomfortable when my penis gets erect. On top of that, I've been dealing with premature ejaculation, since I can ejaculate in less than a minute whether I'm masturbating or having sex. Can you offer any suggestions or advice on how to handle this?

I've got a situation that's been on my mind. I ended up having paid sex with a woman who said she wasn't a professional. We used a condom, but later I realized there was a small hole in it. This really got me worried, so I went for an HIVDUO IVth Generation test just to be sure. I had sex on the 17th of March and I got tested on the 19th. The result mentioned that it's non-reactive with a value of 0.32 unit SCO. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

it detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen .The test you took on March 19th (only 2 days after the possible exposure) is quite early, and it might not have been able to detect HIV infection if it occurred after that exposure. It's generally recommended to retest for HIV at 46 weeks post-exposure for a more reliable result. If you are still concerned about the possibility of HIV, you might be a candidate for PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). PEP is a treatment regimen that can prevent HIV if started within 72 hours of exposure

I'm having some trouble with intimacy. It seems like my wife's vagina feels tight, and although I manage to get aroused and my penis becomes somewhat erect, it soon loses its firmness because I'm unable to penetrate. Oddly enough, I've been able to be successful with other women who aren't virgins. I'm worried because it looks like my wife is still a virgin, and most of the time, I don't even get aroused when I see her. What could be going on here?
