Patient's question:
2 again exhibited high-risk behavior. Yesterday, I noticed small red spots on the glans and foreskin, which were painless and itchy. Then, I felt feverish, nauseous, vomiting dryly, and experienced fatigue and aches in my limbs. Today, I also had diarrhea. Is this a symptom of the early stages of HIV?Doctor's answer:
Symptoms of HIV re-emergence after infection are varied and nonspecific, so HIV diagnosis is never based on symptoms alone. To confirm HIV, an antibody test must be conducted 12 weeks after high-risk exposure, which can then provide a preliminary diagnosis. It is recommended that you visit your local disease control center or the dermatology and venereology department of a private hospital for testing. Male sexual diseases are very serious, and patients should seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow their doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to dietary issues, avoid spicy foods to prevent worsening the condition.
