Question:

My wife has a bad problem with thrush that has stoped us having sex, she has been to no end of doctors,?

she has been to no end of doctors , and has tryed no end of things to get rid of it, like antibiotics , creams , vinaga , some one must have an idea what will get rid of it, it has been going on for years, no one seams to be able to help us at all,


Answers:

Chronic persistent vaginal yeast infections can be a sign of HIV infection and this connection is often missed by doctors. So if she has not been tested, I suggest you talk to her about testing.

Some doctors (like a lot of the public) still have the idea that HIV is a gay man's disease or an injection drug user disease, or an African disease, so when they see a woman in their examining room, they often don't think about HIV even with classic symptoms.....but the fact is that more and more women are contracting HIV, and young women 15-24 are one of the fastest growing at risk populations.

If your doctor hasn't yet tried oral therapy (pills) it might work better, as it treats thrush systemically. Some woman with similar symptoms go on maintenance therapy (daily oral medication) to help prevent recurrences. But some of the medicines can be harmful to a fetus, so consult with your doctor.

Hope this helps
