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.

View allI'm Rajesh and recently I had a brief encounter with a sex worker, but I used two condoms for protection. It happened on the 8th of June 2018, and about 26 days later, I went for an HIV duo 4th generation test, which came back negative with a result of 0.09. Lately, I've developed a cold, cough, and some throat pain that I think could just be due to the weather. Can I trust these test results and get back to my regular routine, or should I be concerned? I'm really anxious about this and could use some guidance.
Hi Rajesh, based on your description, the HIV 4th generation test you took 26 days after exposure is highly reliable and indicates you are negative. Your symptoms are more likely due to weather changes and not related to HIV. You can continue with your regular life, but if you remain anxious, consider retesting at 6 weeks for complete peace of mind.

I'm trying to understand what "salmonella typhi TH 240" means. My result showed salmonella typhi TO 60. Does this indicate a ratio of 140? I'm experiencing a really high fever and feeling concerned. Can you explain this to me?
A "salmonella typhi TH = 240" means a high level of antibodies against *Salmonella typhi*, indicating a possible ongoing or recent infection. Your "TO = 60" suggests a lower antibody level, but it does not exactly represent a 1:40 ratio. Given your very high fever, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

I'm really worried about my HIV status. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and did a screening test for HIV 1 and 2 antibodies, which came back non-reactive at 0.1. I recently took the HIV 1, 2, and p24 combo test again and got the same non-reactive 0.1 result. Should I be concerned, or can I trust these results?
can you clarify your concern i am unable to understand your concerns
