Question

I've got some redness and pain on the spot where I had a Mantoux Test done about two days ago. The redness has spread to roughly 15 mm. Could this mean something I should be concerned about?

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?

Question

I'm really confused about how an asymptomatic COVID person can spread the virus to others. If I happen to be one of those asymptomatic cases, how would I transmit it to my family if I'm not sneezing or coughing droplets?

Question

I'm really worried about a situation that happened about a week ago. I had an encounter with a commercial sex worker where I was grinding, rubbing, and poking her nude vagina for around two minutes. I had my underwear on, and there was a release of precum, while she was completely naked. She mentioned that she experienced a leakage of fluids. I'm concerned about the possibility of her fluids getting through my underwear and reaching my urethra. Is there a risk of HIV or any STDs being transmitted through this kind of contact, even with my underwear on? Should I consider getting tested, or am I overthinking? I've read some things online saying it might be nothing, but I would really appreciate your advice.
