I'm really worried and need some advice. Could burning and itching in the penis be early signs of an HIV infection? If so, how soon do these symptoms usually appear after exposure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Penis burning and itching are not typical early symptoms of HIV infection. The primary symptoms of acute HIV infection usually appear 2-4 weeks after exposure and include fever, sore throat, and rash. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and testing if there's concern about HIV exposure.

View allI'm 36 and happily married, but I've been running into a pretty embarrassing issueduring sex, my sperm seems to release too quickly. I'm not on any medications right now, but I do smoke about twice a day. Could there be something I'm missing, or maybe a medicine I should consider?
You should visit a sexologist to confirm a diagnosis of PE (premature ejaculation). The treatment of PE is dependant upon the severity of the condition. Lifestyle modifications to help your condition include cessation of smoking, stress control techniques such as meditationyoga and physical activity of at least 30 minutes per day.

I've been having some recurring issues after sexual activity, where I notice dryness and tears on my penis. There are also these small red dots on the head of my penis, but they don't seem too noticeable. When I searched online, it suggested it might be related to a yeast or fungal infection. I'm not really sure what to make of it, though. Could you give me some advice or thoughts on what might be going on?
Your symptoms, such as recurring dryness, tears, and small red dots on the penis head, could be indicative of several conditions, including: 1. Yeast or fungal infections: As you've suspected, Candida or other fungal infections can cause these symptoms. 2. Balanitis: An inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, fungal or bacterial infections, or allergies.To determine the cause and receive proper treatment, consult a healthcare professional, such as a urologist or a dermatologist. They can: 1. Conduct a physical examination. 2. Take a thorough medical history. 3. Perform diagnostic tests (e.g., swabs, blood tests). 4. Provide personalized guidance and treatment.
