   Response from Dr. Frascino

Hello,

Doctor Bop? Hmmm . . . you learned English from John Travolta, Richard Gere, Michael Douglas and Nicole Kidman? Oh, OK, that explains everything. Gosh, if you learned from George W no one would ever understand a word.

Regarding your risk "exercised the not safe vaginal sex with love seller" since you tested HIV negative three months after the, um, exercise, you are definitively HIV negative. I cannot diagnose the cause of your subsequent symptoms or those of your wife and kids over the Internet; however, I can tell you what's not causing them. It's not HIV!!!

Regarding your stated options, "PCR or psychiatrist," I would suggest the psychiatrist is the way to go! First off, I don't recommend PCR testing for routine screening due to the rate of false-positives, cost and technical issues with the test. Next, I feel your HIV concerns are unwarranted and irrational, so a psychiatrist could probably be helpful. In addition, you may be experiencing some degree of guilt associated with your "exercise program", so again counseling may well help you confront that too.

Good luck, Majed. By the way where does "Tom Cruise" fit into all this? Maybe the old Nichol Kidman connection? Or maybe because he could use a psychiatrist too since he started babbling on about all that scientology nonesense?

Dr. Bob
