my friend has a little problem, he has had sex with a few diff woman, ok and now he told me it burns like heck when he urinates. could it be a urinary tract infection, or he might have something, this been goin on for about 1 month. he is worried

It sounds like an infection. He needs antibiotics. The problem won't go away by itself. Get him to a doctor! Once he gets the antibiotics, make sure he finishes them all, even though he'll feel better immediately.

Hi there,A burning sensation while urinating is a very common symptom that your friend has caught an std. Many stds have that as a common symptom; HIV is NOT one. He should go to see his doctor and have him do a full battery or screening for all stds. Anyone who is going to be sexually active and is not in a committed, monogamous relationship where both partners have tested negative for stds should be tested once a year for all stds; every 6 months if the sexual practices were more risky in nature (unprotected vaginal or anal intercourse for example).Cheers.
