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?

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 dealing with some issues like premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and a low sex drive. I've been taking makardhwaj vati for the past two weeks, one tablet a day, and I'm feeling better. Can I keep taking it, and if so, for how long? Is it safe to use over the long term, or are there any potential side effects I should be aware of?

Makardhwaj Vati is an herbal supplement commonly used to support male sexual health. While it may help with issues like premature ejaculation and low sex drive, its long-term safety isn't well-documented. It's generally considered safe in moderate use, but I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to ensure it's suitable for your specific condition and to avoid any potential side effects with prolonged use.

I've been dealing with a scrotum infection for the past two years. The veins there have swollen and become painful, especially during intimate moments or activities. I've visited numerous doctors, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this, and what should I try next?

According to symptoms this is a case of varicocele.There are no drugs to treat or prevent varicoceles. But pain killers (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen) may help with pain. When needed, surgery is the main form of treatment. Embolization (briefly blocking the veins) is a non-surgical treatment option
