My partner is showing early signs of jaundice and we're already working on treatment and prevention. I'm just wondering, is it safe for us to have sex while they're going through this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, it is generally safe to have sex during jaundice as long as both partners are comfortable. However, it is important to ensure that the underlying cause of jaundice has been treated and that there are no other complications present. It is always best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

I'm really concerned about a friend who recently got their blood test results back. They tested positive for Hepatitis B, and I'm trying to understand what the results mean. The results showed a Hepatitis B viral load of 940 IUml with a log value of 2.97, and the viral load was 5471 copiesml. I'm not sure if these numbers are high or what they indicate. Could you help me interpret if the results are positive or negative for Hepatitis B? I'm really anxious to get some clarity on this.

I accidentally drank from a bottle that had marijuana ashes in it and took a big sip before realizing. I ended up vomiting about 20 times and even though I feel a bit better now, my stomach still hurts. Should I be concerned about swallowing ash? How might this affect my health both short and long term? I'm also really worried that some pieces might still be stuck in my throat. What potential health issues should I be aware of from this?
