DOCTORS PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS PATIENT
Next Steps
The patient books a consultation takes all the advice, clears all his doubt, and then just cancels the consultation by selecting an inappropriate reason, just so he doesn't have to pay the consultation fees! Has personally happened with me so sharing

Hi, a weight loss of 1.5 kg over 5 months is not significant and is usually not suggestive of HIV. HIV-related weight loss typically occurs later and is more marked.
Next Steps
The only way to be sure is proper testing. At 5 months post exposure, an HIV test will be conclusive.
Health Tips
You can book a video consultation with me for proper guidance and interpretation of your reports.

"Weight loss of 1.5kg over 5 months is technically not significant weight loss (which is usually >5% of body weight in 6 months). However, after a high-risk exposure, anxiety itself can cause such changes. While HIV symptoms vary, the only way to be sure is a clinical test.
Next Steps
Since it's been 5 months, a 4th Gen ELISA (p24 antigen + antibody) test will give you a definitive result.
Health Tips
"Do not rely on Google searches for symptom diagnosis, as HIV symptoms are non-specific and can overlap with many minor viral infections or even pure anxiety. Also, avoid taking any unprescribed 'immunity boosters' or supplements without a confirmed diagnosis, as they may strain your liver or kidneys.
""Focus on a high-protein diet (pulses, paneer, eggs, or lean meats) to maintain your muscle mass. Also, try practicing deep breathing or meditation, as high stress levels can often mimic physical symptoms like fatigue and mild weight loss."
