Gonorrhoea and AIDS

Q: I recently had intercourse with a prostitute. After three weeks, a yellow cyst started developing. The doctor told me it could be Gonorrhoea or AIDS. We had anal sex. The cyst is present but is not developing, and there is itching somtimes. Could it be AIDS?

A:Gonorrhoea is characterised by pus discharge from the urethra. Obviously you have got something else. Therefore get yourself examined by a Dermatologist or a Venerologist.It is immaterial in which orifice you entered. As long as coitus was unprotected anything can happen. To exclude the possibility of HIV infection you may get its test done.
