My mom has had this swollen node on her neck for about 4 months now. It didnt hurt or anything at first, but it started to get bigger. After running through a bunch of tests like FNAC, turns out its a TB gland. We've been on TB meds for like 3 months now, but she's started feeling pain and theres pus building up inside the node. It hasn't gone down at all. What should we do?

I've been dealing with open wounds for a few days now, and they just won't heal. There's still pus coming out even though I've been using antiseptic cream and bandaging them. On top of that, I'm feeling super tired and restless all the time. Do you have any idea what's going on or what else I should try? I'm getting really worried about this.

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.

ask him to get tested at an interval of 6 months if that also turns out negative,then he is free from disease
