Question 1

I recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 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.

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing a condition called balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin. I recommend using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day for 2 weeks to treat any possible fungal infection. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can help prevent further cracking. If the symptoms persist, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.

.sperm production takes place in testicles.. But you just need 20 million sperm per ml for fertility... There are chances even when sperm count is less than that... So get semen analysis done in diagnostic and consult general physician in nearest hospital.

Accepted Answer

It seems like the fungal infection might require a more targeted treatment. I recommend consulting a doctor for an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole or Miconazole, and potentially an oral antifungal if the infection is persistent. In the meantime, keep the area dry and avoid any irritation.
