I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

I'm feeling really anxious about something that happened yesterday. After work, I got a haircut and ended up with some small razor cuts on my head. This morning, my friend who has HIV and had a wet, moist wound on his palm touched the same area on my head where those cuts are. I'm really concerned about whether there's any risk of contracting HIV from this. Could you help me understand if I should be worried?
