Avatar m tn Welcome to the HIV forum. I reviewed your discussion on the HIV community forum and agree with the opinions and advice you received there. Kaposi's sarcoma is a rare outcome of HIV, limited mostly to gay men with HIV. (You don't say your sex. Male or female?) That's because KS is caused by a particular virus, called human herpesvirus type 8 (HHV-8), also called (logically) the Kaposi sarcoma virus (KSV). HHV-8/KSV is rare in heterosexuals but very common among gay men.
Avatar f tn t effect men more than women. By this I mean that women are more confortable talking about feelings and emotions and probably feel a little safer than men to speak of sexual abuse. Since women tend to speak about their feeling more freely they probably seek professional help more often or work things out quicker by talking to someone they trust.
7736596 tn?1393779498 Glad I found this website that is so informative without being useless. So, I am a 25 year old bi-sexual guy from India. I've had several sexual encounters with both men and women, mostly men & protected. But let's just consider the possibility that I may have gone unprotected. November of 2013, I was screened medically for Dubai residency for any infectious diseases and thankfully I was free from any of them. I came to India soon after that.

Avatar f tn reported observations on some differences between women and men in response to Lyme disease in a poster at the International Conference on Emerging Infectious Diseases. The short story: Women with Lyme disease display more clinical symptoms than do men with the disease and also are less likely to seroconvert following treatment, according to findings from a prospective cohort study involving 77 patients.
Avatar n tn Canker sores remains a mystery, cause unknown, and sores in the mouth of various kinds, both aphthous stomatitis and other problems, occur with increased frequency in AIDS -- but like yeast infection, this also is a sign of full-blown AIDS, not early HIV infection. Finally, I hope you asked your partners their HIV status. Among men who have sex with men, "do ask, do tell" is just as important a part of safe sex as using condoms for anal sex.
502686 tn?1210499877 Trichomoniasis, sometimes called "Trich," is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is very common in both women and men. It is caused by a parasite that can be passed from one person to another during sexual contact. It can also be picked up from contact with damp, moist objects such as towels or wet clothing. Women are more likely than men to have symptoms of infection. The disease can be treated and cured and usually has no serious complications.
Avatar f tn I live in a very rural town in NW PA. and wonder what the rate of hiv is in rural america. Is this somewhere that you would consider a high risk area for heterosexual transmission of hiv? Is there a web site that talks about hiv in rural america or that gives the numbers?
Avatar m tn Jon gave you great advice. It's very true that women can have different symptoms then men. We're all so different. I did not have the common symptoms, but, I did have a lot of what I thought were stomach issues. I was also very tired all the time. You are young at 42 but you do need to find a way to get checked out. My sister had her heart attack at 45. It's better to know what's going on. It could be stress and stomach issues or it could be heart related.
Avatar f tn A problem is, testosterone varies a whole lot in both men and women, by the day, hour, week, etc. and even more in women than men, so the only true way to know if you had abnormally low levels would have been to test you a lot, not just twice. You did have the same levels twice, so it might be a problem. A question would be, how's your sexual desire? How's your stamina? How's your ability to build muscle? How's your energy levels?
Avatar n tn s first couple hundred cases -- indeed almost all cases during the first 1-2 years of recognized HIV/AIDS in the US -- were in gay men. Even now, men having sex with men account for >90% of new HIV infections in the western US.
Avatar m tn I had my cordoroid shorts on and a the women had her underwear on. She was on the top and rubing. I my shorts on and no underwear on and I was rubbing as well. When she had her orgasm, she is a women who shoots out her vaginal *** or whatever you want to call it when she has a orgasim, that was a first time I have ever seen that. Her Vaginal fluid penitrated though the shorts, while we were having that dry sex and she had two orgasms.

Avatar n tn No. You are not correct. Women and men can manifest symptoms in the same time period. And herpes is not found in blood. It's located in the nerves. Is there any reason not to believe your partner? Just because you are anxious about STDs doesn't mean she's lying to you. The way you worded your message ("she swears to me...") sounds like you projected your anxiety onto her (and maybe not in a good way). Hopefully, you weren't rude or disrespectful to her.
Avatar f tn that is an internal problem with the woman in my opinion. There are women driven by attention and yes, they'll cheat because their insecurity and need for this attention will cause them to act on impulse. But I would say that most women don't 'hate their husbands because they don't tell them they look pretty in an outfit". Nope, don't believe that.
Avatar n tn Not a risk at all if you don't have unprotected anal or vaginal sex and you don't share works with others. Women have a larger exposure area in their vagina.

Avatar m tn Uti's are common in women, but not so much in men. Only about 3% of all men worldwide get UTI's. You are part of that group. Hopefully antibiotics will clear it up and you'll not have to worry about it again. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/320872.
Avatar m tn The researchers, counting both fellatio and cunnilingus, estimated that 19,000 oral sex acts had occurred, and men had ejaculated in 34 percent to 41 percent of the fellatio acts. However, no HIV-negative partners contracted the virus.
