Question

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind for a while. I've been using this particular product or treatment for many years now, and I've come across a lot of allopathy doctors who advise against it. I'm really looking to know if it's genuinely safe to continue using it. Are there any precautions I should be aware of, or any potential side effects I might experience?

Question

I've been a bit worried about my hair lately. I shaved my head around three months ago, and while most of my hair seems to have grown back normally, the crown of my head appears less dense. After shaving, I started using onion juice, and I noticed that when my hair is wet, you can see my scalp under the light. I recently trimmed my hair to about 1.5 inches, and now it looks denser. Before shaving, my hair seemed normal and didn't have any bald spots, plus using Fortene anti-dandruff shampoo helped with my dandruff issues. Could this be early signs of baldness, or am I overthinking it?

Question

I'm really worried about this whole HIV testing thing. If I'm getting tested like two months after a possible exposure, is that result considered conclusive, or should I be thinking about getting tested again later just to be sure?
