Question

I'm based in Pune and have been dealing with Tubercular Lymphadenopathy for the last 9 months, but I can still feel swollen nodes on the left side of my neck. I'm worried because even after all this treatment, the size hasn't gone down. Could you recommend a well-experienced specialist in Pune who can help me with this?

Ideally the swelling also should come down,as it is still persisting, visit Physician for follow up and appropriate treatment.

Question

I'm really worried after visiting a barber shop because I'm afraid I might have been exposed to infections like HBV, HCV, or HIV. Could you tell me more about when I should get tested? I heard that an antibodies test for HIV can be done after 4 weeks or even up to 12 weeks, but I also read something about a p24 antigen test that can be taken after 4 weeks. How accurate are these tests? I could really use some advice right now.

Question

I'm really worried about my uncle who's 56 and has been dealing with tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. Hes already been on anti-tubercular medication for 19 months, but it hasn't improved his condition at all. I'm wondering if there are any top doctors or hospitals in India, especially around Delhi, that you could recommend for this situation. Is surgery something we should be considering as our next step?

Question

I'm really concerned about something that happened a year ago. I had an encounter with a prostitute, and during sex, the condom ripped. Although I didn't fully penetrate her, my penis did come into contact with her vagina. She assured me there was no risk, but I'm still worried. I'm not sure if she had HIV, and if there's a chance I might have contracted it. Should I consider getting an HIV test?
