red spots
      #78985 - 12/04/03 09:59 PM


Please help has anyone with hiv had these symptons, im going for my test on monday , i just need some support. Its the third time ive had the test but since these symptons have started i havent been re-tested...this is about a year since last test.
For about a year now ive had re-occuring red spots on the head of my penis, they are almost lesian like only the size of say the nib of a pen. I went to two local GUM clinics to try and find out what it is, all i got was that it could just be a reaction to having sexual intercourse with my partner.I was just told to wash straight after.
I was given some cream terra cortril nystatin cream and the symptons went after a few days only to come back irregularly like maybe once a month. I'm getting very worried that this could be something seriouse and that i could pass it on to my partner. I have made another appointment to see yet another clinic to try and shed some light on this. Could this be a sympton of HIV? the last spotty red rash i had was the worst. Almost the whole of the head of my penis looked red sore and spotty, these spots are non irratable and seem to scratch off and then fade away over a few days. Please can you help thankyou. Godbless

There are some things that you should go to a dr to see. And I suggest that your spots if it persists should be checked. Where I don't know I'm female but I do Wish you The Best .

Don't worry about it!

This is a simple fungus infection that you are more susceptible to if HIV+ (called Dhobies). It can be a bit itchy, but you can't pass it to your partner. The clinic's advice is good. Clean after intercourse and you can use most antifungal creams to treat it (Clotrimazole 2% cream from Walgreens works well).
The only bad news is .... there is almost no long-term cure, just keep the area as clean as possible.

Hope this helps.
