Question 1

if cum goes into my eyes does it cause hiv ?

Accepted Answer

Low risk : Please know the HIV status of any partner. Mucosal contact that isn't sexual is very unlikely to transmit HIV -- receptive oral sex carries only a small risk. Semen does have proteases that can irritate the eye

Question 2

can hiv infection cause pink eye?

Accepted Answer

No: Hiv can lower your ability to fight any infection, including eye infections (but it doesn't cause them).

Question 3

hiv + sample diluted 1:100 for vzv elisa,after adding stop solution while disposing the elisa plate if drop splash in eye does it cause hiv infection?

Accepted Answer

Ask director: If you work in a laboratory, there should be very explicit guidelines for dealing with situations like this.  HIV CAN be transmitted via fluids, but it is not always causative.  Please consult your superiors.

Question 4

hiv if i was having a conversation with an hiv person and during the conversation that person sprayed some of his spit in my eye by accident can that causes me to get infected?  thanks

Accepted Answer

If : If a small amount of spit from someone who is HIV positive enters your eye, there is an extremely low possibility that you would become infected. This because the concentration of virus in the saliva is very low. If the saliva was mixed with blood, that would carry a higher risk.

Question 5

hi, is there a risk of hiv transmission from spit in the eye? person was gay man with dental problems and i have fever/headache after less than 24hrs

Accepted Answer

Impossible: That mode of transmission is impossible and HIV symptoms do not occur only 24 hours after exposure.

Question 6

living cmv & hsv1 positive(hiv -)last 22 yrs without any treatment. recently face breathing problems, eye infection & many more. am i need medication?

Accepted Answer

Prob no Rx needed: Most healthy people have positive tests for CMV and HSV1, and almost always no treatment is needed. You list STDs, chlamydia, HIV etc as problems or topic tags, so be sure you are tested for active infection and treated if necessary. Follow your doctor&#x27;s advice on all this, but most likely nothing is wrong and probably neither HSV nor CMV has anything to do with your symptoms.

Question 7

hello, im two months i have had pink eye 3 times then sore throat right after. what can cause this? can this be hiv?

Accepted Answer

: The frequency of conjunctivitis (pink eye) recently has increased in much of the US. The reasons are not known. Probably you have either a recurrent allergic problem (it's the time of year for pollen, respiratory allergies, etc) or were unluckily exposed to viruses that cause it. For sure HIV is not the problem. Keep in touch with your doctor for diagnosis and treatment advice.

Question 8

is a slight head ache a symptom of early hiv or are those head aches more major and accompanied with other symptoms as well?

Accepted Answer

No: Slight headache is not  specifically related...to HIV.

Question 9

can hiv caused headaches be extremely painful when you shake your head?

Accepted Answer

See details: All headaches can be painful if you shake your head.

Question 10

23weeks past hiv exposure with negative rapid and duo combo results.have got swellings like lymph nodes in the head.what is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Other causes...: The rapid HIV test should be positive if you are HIV-infected if the test was done at least 3 months after your HIV exposure. You can have the test repeated 6 months after exposure to be most certain.

There are other infections that can cause lymph node enlargement in the neck or head; many are viral and will resolve on their own. One common treatable cause is a fungal infection of the scalp.
