"It is understandable to be worried after a condom breakage, but your clinical timeline and your partner’s negative test strongly suggest that your current symptoms—recurring mouth ulcers and semi-solid stools—are not related to
HIV. In HIV, symptoms usually appear within 2–4 weeks (Acute Retroviral Syndrome) and don't typically wait until the 4th month to start. The fact that your ulcers improved with Becosule (
Vitamin B-complex) confirms that the root cause is likely a nutritional deficiency or high stress levels
Next Steps
Partner's Negative Test: A negative rapid card test for your partner at Day 53 (nearly 8 weeks) is highly reliable. If she were in the 'infectious' stage during your 5-minute exposure, her test would almost certainly have been positive or at least reactive.
Mouth Ulcers (Aphthous Stomatitis): Recurring ulcers are very common during periods of high stress or when
Vitamin B12/Folate levels are low. Since they 'come and go' and respond to vitamins, they do not match the persistent oral issues seen in immunocompromised states.
Semi-solid Stools: Anxiety is a major trigger for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The stress of worrying about
HIV for 4 months is more than enough to disrupt your digestion and cause 2 semi-solid stools a day.
