I'm currently undergoing treatment for TB lymph nodes, and I've been on the medication for about 10 months now. I've got about 2 months left to complete the course. I'm really anxious about whether it's okay to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on my TB meds. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm really worried about my HIV status. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and did a screening test for HIV 1 and 2 antibodies, which came back non-reactive at 0.1. I recently took the HIV 1, 2, and p24 combo test again and got the same non-reactive 0.1 result. Should I be concerned, or can I trust these results?

can you clarify your concern i am unable to understand your concerns

I'm really worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?

Continue same treatment.

Hey, I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I took an HIV 1 and 2 ECLIA antibody test on the 63rd day after potential exposure, and it was done using the Roche e411 analyzer. I'm curious about how accurate the results might be at this stage. Should I trust the results, or do I need to retest later?
