Hello, I am Dr. Romain Rajan, General Physician.
Your case has been allotted to me.
I understand your concern. Anxiety after any sexual exposure is very common, but from the details you have shared, your act does not carry a realistic risk of
HIV transmission. You used a condom properly, it did not break or slip, and there was no unprotected penetration so you are completely safe from HIV in this incident.
1. Advices
You do not require any further medicines or HIV post-exposure treatment.
Viropil is not the correct medicine for HIV prevention; however, since you took it for 22 days, no harm will occur now â just complete rest and hydration.
Mild body itching or weakness you are experiencing is a temporary side effect of Viropil, not an HIV symptom. It settles within a few days once the drug is stopped.
2. What to Monitor
Only if you notice persistent rashes, jaundice (yellow eyes), or unusual fatigue after stopping medicine.
Any digestive upset or allergy-type itching that doesnât settle within a week.
3. Management
Eat well, drink plenty of water, and you may take a multivitamin for a few days to restore energy.
If you still feel anxious, you can get an HIV test after 6 weeks (4th generation test) just for reassurance, but it will come out negative in your case.
4. When to Consult a Doctor Immediately
If itching becomes widespread or associated with fever.
If you develop persistent weakness or nausea.
If any new symptoms appear after stopping Viropil.
Every patientâs situation is unique. For accurate reassurance and recovery, itâs important to discuss your exact exposure and medicines in detail.
ð You can reach out to me directly for this case, and also connect with me in future for any medical consultation.
I am available on Practo or on WhatsApp at 85271646 seven seven for a one-on-one consultation, where youâll receive:
⢠A personalized treatment plan
⢠Safe medicine adjustments (if required)
⢠Quick follow-ups to track your recovery
Take care, wishing you good health.
Best regards,
Dr. Romain Rajan
General Physician
