View allHey, so my dad's testicles started bleeding even though he didn't get hurt or anything. We noticed his blood pressure was really high at 19090 mmHg when we went for first aid. They said a vein might have burst, causing the bleeding. Could his high blood pressure be the reason for this? Also, what should we do next? Should we go see a doctor straight away or anything else we need to consider?
Yes, high blood pressure (19090 mmHg) can cause a varicocele (enlarged vein) to rupture, leading to testicular bleeding; immediate medical attention is crucial to rule out other potential causes, such as testicular torsion or tumor, and to prevent further complications.

Is there any other treatment or approach we should consider?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with accurate information. _HIV Symptoms and Timeline_ HIV symptoms can appear anywhere from 2-4 weeks after exposure, with most people experiencing symptoms within 2-3 weeks. The fever you experienced within 18 hours of exposure is unlikely to be related to HIV. _Other Possible Causes of Fever_ Consider other possible causes of your fever, such as: 1. _Other STIs_: Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STIs could cause fever. 2. _Viral infections_: Common viral infections like the flu or a cold could cause fever. 3. _Allergic reactions_: An allergic reaction to something else could cause fever. _Reducing HIV Risk_ Although you used a condom, the 5-second bare skin contact may pose a minimal risk. However: 1. _Condom efficacy_: Condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly. 2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: If you're concerned about HIV exposure, consult a healthcare provider about PEP within 72 hours of exposure. _Next Steps_ 1. _Get tested_: Consider getting tested for HIV and other STIs 2-3 weeks after exposure. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Discuss your concerns and symptoms with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about HIV or other STIs.
