A member asked:
I've had a redness of my throat (but no pain) for 2 and a half months, my doctor prescribed me zithromax today but what could cause this? could hiv?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not HIV: HIV is not a likely cause of such symptoms. If you're at risk (e.g. high risk sex, sharing drug injection equipment) or otherwise worried, get tested. And be sure to tell your doctor your concerns about HIV. But probably not the cause of these symptoms.
