POZZIEPINOY'S RESPONSE

Hi XXX.

Thank you for your email.

With regards to your concern, the best advice that I can give you is for you and your partner (s) to take the STD Tests and the HIV Test. This will somehow determine if you have STD and or HIV. You can also go to a GI doctor as the blood in your stool can be indicative of something inside you.

I know it is hard but speculating what you are feeling right now is not the best advice that I can give you. Instead take the tests that I mentioned and immediately seek consult from an infectious disease doctor and a GI doctor. What is important right now is for you to be proactive about your health and the health of your loved ones. Being responsible is of utmost important and please do not engage in any unprotected sex until you are sure of your HIV status and the status of your sex partners. You are not only doing this to protect you and them but you are also helping in the prevention of the spread of this disease.

I hope I was able to answer your concern. Please feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Stay healthy,
