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.

I'm trying to understand the window period for the HIV 1 and 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test, like the CMIA test. Is it safe to say that getting tested three months after exposure would give me a conclusive result? I've been stressing about it and just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Can you shed some light on this?
The window period for HIV 1 & 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test using CMIA method is typically around 4 weeks to 3 months after exposure. For most individuals, this test is considered conclusive after 3 months post-exposure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and monitoring.

I'm really worried about my wife. She was diagnosed with TB in March and started on the standard treatment, but now she's dealing with back and neck pain, and stiffness in both areas. I've had some general physicians suggest getting an X-ray of her spine to check for Pott's spine, while others are saying an MRI of the whole spine or a CT scan of the LS spine might be better. Can you help me understand what might be going on and which specialist we should see? I'm also confused about why she might have spine TB symptoms when she's already on meds for TB in her lungs.
Yes .MRI spine is advised to the patient for evaluating potts spine TB..If TB spine is present pt needs ATT for another 6 months ,since it is extrapulmonary TB.
