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.

View allI'm really worried because I did an HIV test and it came back negative, but I smoked marijuana two days before the test. Now, I'm seeing some variations in my complete blood count test results, and it's making me doubt the accuracy of the HIV test. Could the marijuana have affected the outcome of the HIV test in any way? Can you please help me understand what's going on?
ESR Levels* 1. *Initial high ESR (120)*: This indicates inflammation, which can be caused by various conditions, including infections, arthritis, or cancer. 2. *Reduced ESR (20)*: This suggests that the inflammation has decreased, which is a positive response to treatment. *Possible Causes* 1. *Arthritis*: The initial high ESR and back pain could be indicative of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. 2. *Infections*: Infections like tuberculosis or osteomyelitis can cause high ESR and back pain. 3. *Cancer*: Although less likely, cancer (e.g., multiple myeloma) can cause high ESR. However, a single ESR test is not conclusive for cancer diagnosis. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult her doctor*: Discuss the reduced ESR and any changes in symptoms with her doctor. 2. *Further testing*: Her doctor may recommend additional tests (e.g., blood tests, imaging studies) to determine the underlying cause of the initial high ESR and back pain.

I had an encounter with a prostitute a day ago and during sex, my condom tore. I'm really worried about possibly getting HIV. How soon should I go for a test?
After a potential HIV exposure, like a torn condom during sex, it's essential to act quickly; consider taking Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours to reduce the risk of HIV infection; for testing, the window period varies: 14-24 days for a nucleic acid test (NAT), 18-45 days for an antigenantibody test, and 45-90 days for an antibody test; consult a healthcare provider or visit an STI clinic for guidance, testing, and potential PEP treatment.

I'm on treatment and it's been 66 days now, but I've been getting a fever at night around 100 to 100.4 degrees. Is this normal after two months of treatment? When can I expect this to stop?
