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.

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing early discharge of semen fluid recently, and I've also noticed that my penis size seems to shrink when I provide a sperm sample. Additionally, my results showed that I have reduced active sperm motility at 25 and there are 68 pus cells present under HPF. I'm really concerned about what all this means and what I should do next. Can you help me out with some advice?
It sounds like there may be an underlying infection or inflammation affecting sperm quality. I recommend seeing a urologist for a thorough examination and tests to rule out any infections or other issues. Treatment with antibiotics or other medications may be necessary to improve sperm health and motility.

I'm feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis, especially when I pee. I've been having unprotected sex, and I'm getting really worried. Could it be an infection or something else serious? What should I do next?
Burning sensation in the penis tip area, mostly while urinating, can be a sign of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you are sexually active and engaging in unprotected intercourse, it is important to get tested for STIs. I recommend you take an antibiotic like Azithromycin 1g as a single dose and Ceftriaxone 250mg intramuscularly. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any infection. It is also important to practice safe sex to prevent future infections.
