Question 1

I had protected sex on June 26th and took an HIV RNA PCR test on July 12th, which is about 15 days later. Will the results be accurate? Is it true the test is reliable after 10 days?

Accepted Answer

For an accurate HIV RNA PCR test result, it's typically recommended to wait at least 10-14 days after potential exposure. Since you tested 15 days after the incident, it should provide a fairly reliable result, but the accuracy improves with more time. For complete certainty, consult with your doctor.

Question 5

Im 24, and my penis size is less than 2cm when it's flaccid, and 11cm when erect. Is this a problem? Also, when I masturbate, I ejaculate within a minute. I do this twice a week. Is that normal or something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Penis size can vary among individuals and what you have described is within the normal range. There is no need to be concerned about the size difference. Ejaculating quickly during masturbation is a common issue known as premature ejaculation. To help with this issue, you can try using medications like Dapoxetine. Practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique may also be helpful.

Question 6

Whenever I have sex or my penis gets erect, I notice that it develops cracks in the same spot after finishing. It heals after a few days, but the problem comes back the next time it gets erect. Is there any cream or solution that could help with this?

Accepted Answer

The recurring cracks on your penis, particularly in one position, during or after erection, may be caused by a condition called penile fissures, which can be painful and may lead to bleeding or infection; applying a topical cream or ointment, such as petroleum jelly, aloe vera gel, or a fragrance-free lubricant, may help soothe and protect the affected area
