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 just a bit worried and curious about something. If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, what are the chances of someone else getting infected? Also, after the window period, what kind of HIV test would be good enough to rely on?

If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, the chances of others getting infected are low but not zero. It is still possible for HIV to be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or sharing needles with someone who is HIV positive. After the window period, the most common and reliable HIV test is the HIV antibody test. This test looks for antibodies that your body makes in response to the HIV infection. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.

I'm really anxious about a recent encounter I had with someone at a spa. We only had straight vaginal sex for about a minute and used a new condom, which didn't break. She removed it carefully with tissue, so I thought everything was okay. I got tested for HIV 12 days later, and it came back non-reactive, but I'm still really nervous because I don't know if she has HIV or not. What should I do?

No need to worry get your self tested 6 months once for a period of 2 years as you had risky exposure.
