I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck and after four months of taking medication, I noticed some pus coming out on its own, which was surprising. When I consulted with a surgeon about it, they mentioned surgery wasn't necessary. Now, I'm occasionally noticing some pus on my neck. What should I do about it?

I'm a bit concerned about my HIV test results. They came back non-reactive after 140 days, but I'm wondering if that's conclusive. Is there a specific test that's considered the best for detecting HIV? Also, could you help me understand the window period for HIV detection?
The window period of HIV can be any where between a month and a decade. However, you can undergo an ELISA test or Western blot test which are mostly accurate. If both these tests are non reactive, there are high chances that you are not HIV patient. However, you can still undergo a routine test every six months or once a year just to be sure
