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've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?

Repeat it after 6 months and visit Physician for appropriate management

I'm a bit anxious because I had sex using a condom, but it slipped off during the act. This happened last week, and now I'm really worried about the possibility of getting HIV from my partner. I'm considering seeing a doctor to check if everything's okay. What would you recommend?

I've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?

Yes you are doing it right follow your doctors advice
