Re: What should I do?
Jul 22, 2001
Dear Dr. Young,
Thank you very much for your invaluable opinion! I was so relieved when I read your response. Now that I know my possible risk incident (nipple sucking) is considered as very low risk behavior. I was worried because I had experienced one day of low-grade fever and diarrhea four weeks after the incident which is very unusual to me. What could explain my fever and diarrhea?
Thank you very much!
Response from Dr. Young
One day of low-grade fever and diarrhea are typical symptoms of a self-limited viral infection or gastroenteritis. The key here is the self-limited nature or your symptoms.
Symptoms that last for weeks, whether due to HIV or now deserve medical evaluation and follow up.
Hope this helps, BY
