Question 1

I'm worried about an HIV test I took. It was a 4th generation CMIA antigen and antibody test, and it came back non-reactive. This was after I received oral sex 6 years ago. I'm relieved but also concerned because I was using nasal steroids at the time of the test as part of my treatment. Could those steroids have affected the test result and made it a false negative? What are your thoughts on this?

Accepted Answer

Fever, cold, and body pain after a piles operation can be concerning.

Normal post-operative symptoms:

1. Mild fever (less than 100.4F)
2. Slight body pain
3. Mild discomfort

However, if you experience:

1. High fever (over 101.5F)
2. Severe body pain
3. Chills
4. Increased bleeding or discharge
5. Difficulty urinating

Seek immediate medical attention, as these could be signs of:

1. Infection
2. Bleeding complications
3. Urinary retention

Consult your surgeon or healthcare provider to assess your condition and provide guidance.
