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 had unprotected sex with a commercial sex worker, and it's been six months since then. I already took an HIV test using the CMIA method at an ICTC, and it came back non-reactive. Is this result 100% conclusive, or should I take another test after a year just to be sure? I'm a bit anxious about the whole situation and want to make sure I'm in the clear.
Since your 6-month HIV tests (CMIA, ICTC, and HIV rapid tests) were non-reactive, these results are considered conclusive and accurate, and you do not need another test at 12 months unless you are experiencing symptoms or have had another exposure. However, if you remain anxious or have concerns, you can consult with a healthcare provider for further reassurance. Please keep in mind that safe sex practices, including the use of condoms, are important in preventing HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) moving forward.

I had sex with a prostitute about five months ago where there was a blowjob, some really quick fingering, and we used a condom with Vaseline lubricant. I got tested at a path lab in Malaysia with an HIV 1 and 2 ag ab Elisa test and the results came back non-reactive. I also did a rapid test kit five months later and that was negative too. Do I really need to get tested again at six months, or can I just move on and stop worrying about this?
as you had risky exposure better to get yourself tested for every 6 months for 2 years
