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?

View allI recently did a Dengue test, and my Dengue IGM came back positive, but the Ns1 Antigen and IgG were negative. What does this mean for my health, and what should be my next steps? Should I be concerned?
Since your Dengue IgM test is positive, it indicates a recent infection with the Dengue virus. It is important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. You can take Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours as needed for fever and body aches. Additionally, you should monitor your platelet count regularly and seek medical attention if you experience any warning signs such as persistent vomiting, severe abdominal pain, or bleeding.

I'm really concerned about my HIV status. So, I had a PCR RNA test 22 days after potential exposure, and it came back not detected. Then, at 44 days, I did an HIV combo test and it was negative. Finally, I did HIV rapid testing at 76 days, and that was negative too. Based on these results, am I in the clear?

I've been really anxious since I had sex about a month ago. I did an HIV ELISA test, and it came back nonreactive. If I decide to get tested again after three months, what are the chances that the results will be the same? Or could they change? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect.
If you had a non-reactive result on an HIV ELISA test one month after having sex, it is a good sign. However, it is recommended to get tested again after 3 months for a more conclusive result. The result after 3 months may still be non-reactive, but it is important to confirm with another test to be sure.
