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 a 24-year-old female and I've been struggling with typhoid for the past few years. This time, it's hit me twice in just a two-month gap. I had a typhidot test after taking some medicine, and it came back weakly positive. I'm wondering if Monocef is a good option for treating typhoid in my case? I'm also dealing with a lot of weakness, joint pain, chest pain, and headaches. What should I do?
yes monocef is enough and take healthy food and water, normally typhoid take 2 wks to subside

I'm really concerned about my recent blood test results. They showed 1:160 for Salmonella Typhi O and 1:320 for Salmonella Typhi H. I was initially tested because I had viral symptoms. I'm just confused as I don't actually feel any typical Typhoid symptoms. Could this really mean I have Typhoid, or could there be another explanation for these results?
Your Widal test results indicate a positive for Typhoid fever. The titers for Salmonella Typhi O and Salmonella Typhi H are significant at 1:160 and 1:320 respectively. Even if you do not have any symptoms of Typhoid, these results suggest an active infection. It is important to start treatment promptly to prevent complications. You can take antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin with adequate hydration and rest.

I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on TB meds for six months now. I did a CT biopsy, and all TB drugs seem to be working. But my MRI report after six months doesnt show any improvement; in fact, it says the infection has increased. I couldn't walk at all when I started, but now I can walk without any pain, and I've even gained 10 kilos. I'm just confused and a bit worried about why the MRI isnt showing progress even though I feel better. What could be going on?
according to TB guidelines you have to take medicine upto18 months then only u get better results in mri
