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 need some advice. Yesterday, I ate a raw mango that a friend had already chewed. The thing is, my friend has been living with HIV for the past two years and isnt on any HIV medication. I'm really worried because I remember reading something from the CDC about the risk of getting HIV from pre-chewed food. Plus, I've heard that people with HIV can have bleeding gums. Do you think I should get tested for HIV?

Yes you have to get tested,visit general physician for a comlete dose of post exposure prophylaxis.

Hey, so about 12 weeks ago, I had a lip kiss with a prostitute, and now I'm really worried about HIV. I'm thinking about getting tested and I've heard about the combo test and maybe a Western Blot or an HIV PCR RNA test. Can you tell me which is the best option for someone in my situation?

I'm really worried and need some advice. If I had protection and my penis just touched or rubbed a little against the upper part of the vagina, is there still a risk of HIV? Should I ask him to get tested even though there was no penetration?

The risk of HIV transmission in this scenario is extremely low, especially if protection was used, and there was no penetration or exchange of bodily fluids. Routine testing is not necessary for such contact, but if you're anxious or unsure about potential exposure, getting tested can provide peace of mind.
