Dear Patient,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Based on what youâve described, your risk of
HIV from this exposure appears to be very low, especially since you used protection during intercourse and completed the full course of PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis) on time.
The tests youâve done so far (including HIV Duo/ELISA at 35, 40, and 54 days) are highly reliable, and your results have been non-reactive, which is a very good sign. The symptoms you are experiencing now â like sore throat, white coating on the tongue, and bumps at the corners of the lips â are more likely related to a local infection, fungal overgrowth, or dryness, and not necessarily an HIV-related illness.
However, to fully rule out all possibilities and ensure you get complete peace of mind, it would be good to also consider checking for other common STIs like Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, especially since these can sometimes cause throat symptoms if oral contact was involved.
I recommend that you consult with me personally, so I can review everything in detail â including your test reports and current symptoms â and guide you on whether any further tests or treatment are necessary.
Donât worry â youâve already taken the right steps. Letâs just complete the evaluation so you can move forward with confidence.
Take care,
Dr. Amit Kumar Patel
