Question

I'm really worried and could use some advice. It's been 9 months since I had unprotected sex, and I've been tested for HIV three times, each time after 3 months. All the results have come back as "Non-Reactive." What exactly does that mean? I'm just so anxious thinking I might have HIV or AIDS. Could you please help me understand this situation?

It's okay to be concerned, but your non-reactive HIV test results at 3, 6, and 9 months are reassuring, as they indicate you are not infected with HIV. If you still feel anxious, consult a doctor for further guidance or counseling to ease your worries.

Question

I'm dealing with spine TB and have been on TB meds for six months now. I did a CT biopsy, and all TB drugs seem to be working. But my MRI report after six months doesnt show any improvement; in fact, it says the infection has increased. I couldn't walk at all when I started, but now I can walk without any pain, and I've even gained 10 kilos. I'm just confused and a bit worried about why the MRI isnt showing progress even though I feel better. What could be going on?
