Question

I've heard that someone who had COVID tested negative after 21 days. Is it okay to meet them and have close contact after two months? Is there still any risk of passing on COVID or anything like that? Just trying to be cautious and understand the situation better.

Question

So, I've been with my wife for two years now, and we got married in May 2015. We started off using condoms, but for the past few months, at least three I think, we've stopped using them. Both of us got tested for HIV and the results were non-reactive, which was done on May 23, 2016. This was after at least three months of having unprotected sex. The test we did is the ECLIA Cobas e411 Roche. Do you think there's any need to redo the HIV test, or is it fine as long as we're both staying loyal to each other? Is the test we have already sufficient?

Question

I'm dealing with HIVAIDS and feeling pretty anxious about it. Are there any treatments or remedies in allopathic medicine or maybe homeopathy and Ayurveda? What would you recommend? I'm really looking for some guidance.

Question

So about three weeks ago, I had a situation where the condom broke during intercourse, and it was only for like 13 seconds. The girl is confirmed HIV positive, and I've been really stressed since then. I did a PCR qualitative HIV test on the 13th day after it happened, and then a duo combo HIV test the next day, both came back negative. Then I took another duo HIV test on the 23rd day, and that was negative too. Do these results mean I'm in the clear, or should I still be worried until I hit the 28-day mark for the confirmatory duo test?
