How can one tell physical signs and symptoms of hiv/aids before going for a test....

Answered by Mitali Pawar

Signs and symptoms of HIV/AIDS include flu-like symptoms, skin rash, weight loss, recurrent infections, fatigue, night sweats, and swollen lymph nodes. However, these symptoms can occur with other conditions as well. So proper HIV testing is necessary to confirm an HIV infection. If you suspect you may have been exposed to HIV, it's important to consult with a healthcare expert or visit a testing center for testing and guidance.

I have been having high fever for a few days and yesterday, I visited the doctor. From my blood test, he explained that I don't have a bacterial infection since my Neutrophils level is within the normal range. However, he did prescribe me the antibiotic amoxicillin and today I found out amoxicillin is used to treat bacterial infections. I have already had 4 out of the 21 doses prescribed. I am aware that I need to complete all doses for antibiotics. I want to get a second opinion on whether this antibiotic will really be beneficial for me as right now, I'm just experiencing a lot 9f nausea

Female | 28

You need to finish the whole course of antibiotics prescribed to you. Even if the levels of your Neutrophil are in normal averages, your doctor may have placed you on amoxicillin as a preventive measure. If you experience too much sickness or any other concern with your drug intake, it is better to see your doctor or infectious specialist.

Went to urgent care yesterday morning for fever, aches, and chills with no other symptoms. They gave me antibiotics for UTI. Having back pain that’s making me nauseous. Should I go to the ER?

Female | 37

You're de­aling with back pain and nausea after a UTI treatme­nt. Back pain combined with nausea could indicate a kidne­y infection. Kidney infections re­quire quick attention. Going to the ER for an e­valuation might be wise. They can diagnose­ the issue and provide the­ proper treatment.

Your <20 HIV test result means that it was not detected in the sample of your blood. While this is true it should be noted that up to 3 months were needed for the virus to appear in the test. If you have a concern regarding HIV exposure, it would be best to schedule an appointment with an infectious disease specialist.

Female | 18

These symptoms may show signs of diseases associated with the eyes. It is important to see an ophthalmologist in order to assess the underlying cause. The specialist will probably suggest imaging tests, eye exams or other diagnostics procedures to detect the problem and establish a treatment strategy. Don’t overlook these symptoms as they could be signs of severe health complications.

I had runny nose , little fever , throat pain , headache and fatigue from 2 days then I took cetrizine and Augmentin 625 one tab each . Next morning I still have headache and nose is not runny anymore , is this right medicine or can u tell me what do I have and what medicine i should take

Female | 23

You might have a mild and harmless influenza if you experience these symptoms. A runny nose and sore throat are probably due to a virus. Augmentin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria but may be unnecessary if the main issue is a viral infection. Cetirizine can relieve allergy symptoms, though it doesn't address the cause. Drinking plenty of water, resting, and using acetaminophen for headaches are great approaches. If symptoms persist, it is best to see a doctor.

Excessive hiccups is troubling me too much.Please give some remedies.

Male | 25

Hiccups are annoying, but the­re are things you can do. The diaphragm muscle­ contracts suddenly, maybe from eating fast, gulping air, or ge­tting thrilled. To help hiccups stop, inhale slowly and de­eply, sip cold water, or hold your breath brie­fly. These easy fixe­s usually work!
