hello, i have a question for your, about my brother, he has been having consistant problems with gallbladder and he is a gay male, i am worried he may be hiv positive, but i dont want to ask him if there are no connections, he has to have it removed, , is this a potential common symptom for gay men, he looks frale, but dont see him, to know for sure
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for the query.gallbladder attacks are not sign of HIV infection. Also, the symptoms of HIV are the same for both gay and hetero people. If you have any doubts the only reason to rule this out is to do testing. Also, he should check his gallbladder by US to see is there any pathology. Wish you good health. Regards
