Question
Hello doctor,
In early November, I had sex with a prostitute, kissing on the vagina. 3 weeks later I had a red rash all over my body. The red rash can also be caused by eating dirty food, because after eating breakfast, it started to swell and itch, so far there have been no more symptoms. I just had a blood and urine test and nothing is wrong. Doctor let me ask if the redness all over the body after sex with a prostitute is gonorrhea? Do I need an HIV shot? Thank you doctor!

Hello,
With the question "Is the red rash all over the body after sex with a prostitute, is it gonorrhea?" , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to the incident and symptoms you describe, it is difficult to answer exactly what percentage of gonorrhea is. As for HIV vaccination, currently there is no vaccination method, only treatment for people at risk of exposure. Besides, taking the drug is only effective within the first 72 hours of exposure. According to the doctor, you need to see a Dermatologist for more specific advice.
If you still have questions about whether the redness all over your body after sex with a prostitute is infected with gonorrhea, you can contact the nearest facility under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
