I'm worried about my friend who had a possible HIV exposure. He got tested at 30 days with the HIV12 antibodies combo test from Dr. Lal Path Labs and it came back negative. Then, he took another test at 45 days with SRL lab, and that was negative too. Is there still a chance he could seroconvert after 45 days? This whole situation has got us both stressed out.

I'm dealing with an abscess in my underarm and some mild back pain, and I just found out my Mantoux test came back positive with an ESR of 30. Could this mean I have spinal tuberculosis? And if it is, are the medications they give out at district health centers for spinal and lung tuberculosis the same? I'm pretty worried about what all this means.

I recently had sex with a prostitute and even though I was using a condom, it ended up staying inside her after I ejaculated. I went and got an HIV test and it came back negative, but I'm still a bit anxious. Should I consider taking Post Exposure Prophylaxis?
