I'm really worried about a situation that happened about a week ago. I had an encounter with a commercial sex worker where I was grinding, rubbing, and poking her nude vagina for around two minutes. I had my underwear on, and there was a release of precum, while she was completely naked. She mentioned that she experienced a leakage of fluids. I'm concerned about the possibility of her fluids getting through my underwear and reaching my urethra. Is there a risk of HIV or any STDs being transmitted through this kind of contact, even with my underwear on? Should I consider getting tested, or am I overthinking? I've read some things online saying it might be nothing, but I would really appreciate your advice.

You do not need to worry about HIV transmission in this scenario, as the virus does not pass through intact fabric like underwear. Naked frottage (grinding without penetration) carries an extremely low to negligible risk for HIV. However, if you're anxious, you can do an HIV test (4th generation) after 4 weeks for peace of mind and rule out other STDs with a routine panel. Rest assured, your described exposure is highly unlikely to result in any infection.

Masturbation, Pornography, and Acne: Separating Fact from Myth_ There is ongoing debate about the relationship between masturbation, pornography, and acne.

I noticed an oval-shaped cystic lesion in my left temporal region with a long coiled echogenic structure moving inside it, and my doctor suspects larva migrans. I've been taking Bandy plus tablets and the swelling has reduced a lot, but I'm wondering if I should see a worm specialist to avoid surgery. Which type of doctor should I consult for this?

I'm a bit worried because I had sex with my wife before realizing she has typhoid. Is there any chance I could catch it too? What steps should I take now?
There is a risk of transmission of typhoid through sexual contact, especially if proper hygiene measures are not followed. It is important for both you and your wife to get tested for typhoid. If the test results are positive, treatment with antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin may be necessary. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding sharing personal items, can help prevent the spread of the infection.
