HIV positive symptoms are mostly non specific. About two-thirds of people experience a flu-like illness within 2 to 4 weeks of infection. Symptoms include: 
Fever 
Chills 
Rash 
Night sweats 
Muscle aches 
Sore throat 
Fatigue 
Swollen lymph nodes 
Mouth ulcers.  Treatment is there if one get diagnosed with HIV positive. There are several ways to reduce the risk of HIV infection, including: 
Condoms: Use a condom correctly every time you have sex, especially with partners who are HIV positive or whose HIV status is unknown. 
Limit sexual partners: Reduce the number of sexual partners you have. 
Get tested: Get tested for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 
PrEP: Take pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an HIV prevention medicine, daily or as a long-acting injection. PrEP is only available by prescription from a licensed health care provider. 
PEP: Take post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours of a possible exposure to HIV. 
Avoid sharing needles: Never share needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment. If you can't access new equipment, you can sterilize what you have. 
Harm reduction services: Use harm reduction services for people who inject and use drugs. 
Male circumcision: Get a voluntary medical male circumcision.

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

Its normal for sexual duration to vary, but if youre unhappy, techniques like pelvic floor exercises, using the "start-stop" method, or consulting a doctor for guidance on premature ejaculation can help. A healthy lifestyle and open communication with your partner also play a big role.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may have an infection or inflammation, such as **epididymitis** or **prostatitis**, which could explain the pain and swelling. I recommend avoiding pressure on the area, using warm compresses for relief, and consulting a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics.

Possible Causes of Enlarged Spleen (Splenomegaly)_

1. _Infections_: Bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections, such as mononucleosis, malaria, or tuberculosis, can cause splenomegaly.
2. _Liver diseases_: Liver conditions like cirrhosis, liver cancer, or fatty liver disease can lead to splenomegaly.
3. _Blood disorders_: Blood-related conditions, such as lymphoma, leukemia, or anemia, can cause an enlarged spleen.
4. _Other causes_: Splenomegaly can also be caused by rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other autoimmune disorders.

_Does Fatty Liver Cause Enlarged Spleen?_

1. _Indirect relationship_: Fatty liver disease can contribute to splenomegaly indirectly by increasing pressure in the liver and spleen.
2. _Common underlying causes_: Both fatty liver and splenomegaly can be caused by similar underlying factors, such as obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

_Treatment Options_

1. _Address underlying causes_: Treat underlying conditions, such as infections, liver diseases, or blood disorders, to help reduce spleen enlargement.
2. _Medications_: Depending on the underlying cause, medications like antibiotics, antivirals, or immunosuppressants may be prescribed.
3. _Lifestyle modifications_: Adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management, to help manage underlying conditions.
