Question 1

I'm dealing with infections in my groin area, and the doctor suggested using t bac 2 ointment. Is it safe to use this on my penis as well? The skin there has turned dark, shrunk, and the foreskin is tight and not moving back easily. I'm a bit worried about this, could you advise?

Accepted Answer

It's important to follow your doctor's advice, as the T Bac 2% ointment is typically used for skin infections. Applying it on the penis should be done cautiously, especially if you're experiencing tightness and discoloration. If the skin is shrinking or becoming overly tight, I recommend consulting your doctor for a specific evaluation and tailored treatment plan.

Reliable HIV testing after 6 years.

The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate.

Interpretation:

1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens.
2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure.

Nasal steroids:

1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests.

You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider:

1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already.
2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active.

Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.

Question 4

I'm having some white discharge from my penis every morning and I'm really worried. There's no pain, but I'm not sure what's going on. Can you suggest any medication to help with this?

Accepted Answer

The elevated ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels indicate inflammation in the body.

Joint pains, leg pains, and finger pains suggest an inflammatory condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Osteoarthritis (OA).

Normal sugar test results rule out diabetes as a cause for the symptoms.

Consult a Rheumatologist for further evaluation and diagnosis.

They may recommend additional tests, such as CRP, RF, and ANA, to determine the underlying cause.

Treatment will depend on the diagnosis, but may include anti-inflammatory medications, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.
