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 had sex for the first time with a guy on Saturday night, and by Sunday afternoon, I had a fever that lasted about a day. Im worried because I know a fever can be a symptom of HIV, but isnt that too soon for symptoms to show up? It was less than 18 hours after we had sex. We did use a condom, although we had about 5 seconds of skin-to-skin contact without it. Could this mean I dont have HIV, or should I be concerned?
Given your situation, medication can be explored as an alternative to ureteroscopy, but it's essential to consult your urologist for personalized guidance. *Medication Options* 1. *Alpha-blockers*: Medications like Tamsulosin (Flomax) can help relax the muscles in the ureter, allowing the stone to pass more easily. 2. *Pain management*: Your doctor may prescribe pain medication to manage discomfort and pain associated with the stone. 3. *Muscle relaxants*: Medications like Diazepam (Valium) can help relax the muscles in the ureter and reduce spasms. *Monitoring and Follow-up* 1. *Regular ultrasound*: Schedule regular ultrasound check-ups to monitor the stone's movement and kidney function. 2. *Blood tests*: Regular blood tests can help monitor kidney function and detect any potential complications. 3. *Symptom monitoring*: Keep track of your symptoms, including pain, nausea, and vomiting, and report any changes to your doctor. *When to Consider Ureteroscopy* 1. *Severe pain*: If your pain becomes unbearable or persists despite medication. 2. *Infection*: If you develop signs of infection, such as fever, chills, or burning during urination. 3. *Kidney damage*: If your kidney function deteriorates or you experience severe hydronephrosis.

I'm 28 and recently had sex with a prostitute, but I'm not sure about her HIV status. After I got an erection, some serum leaked from the condom and got into her vagina, though she cleaned up right away. I'm pretty worried and just wondering if there's any risk of HIV transmission from this situation?
