Yes, a 30-year-old female can get dengue more than once. Here's what you should know:
-
Different Dengue Virus Types:
Dengue is caused by four different virus types (serotypes). Infection with one type usually gives you immunity to that specific type but not to the others. -
Possibility of Multiple Infections:
You can get dengue again if infected by a different serotype. -
Severity Considerations:
A second dengue infection can sometimes be more severe, so seek medical care if symptoms appear. -
Prevention:
Protect yourself from mosquito bites by using repellents, wearing protective clothing, and eliminating mosquito breeding sites.
If you have symptoms like high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, or bleeding, consult a healthcare provider promptly for evaluation and care.

View allI'm trying to understand my Widal test report and I'm pretty worried. It mentions Salmonella typhi O and H at 180 dilutions and Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 1160 dilutions. Is this an indication of a typhoid infection? Could you explain what this means for my health? Also, I'm curious about what kind of diet I should be following right now. Your advice would be really helpful.

I had a situation a few months ago where I was with a prostitute and the condom broke during sex. The next day, I took her for an HIV test, and thankfully, it came back negative. Since then, I've been really anxious about it even though I've had no symptoms. Can you help me understand what the chances are of something being wrong? I'm trying to calm my nerves but it's tough not knowing.
When she is negative there is almost zero chances of you getting the disease,no need to worry get yourself tested for every 6 months

I had a massage yesterday that involved body-to-body contact, but no kissing or penetration. I did insert my finger in her vagina a couple of times, but my fingers had no wounds. She gave me a handjob afterwards. Now I'm super anxious about whether my penis might have accidentally touched her vagina, even though I didn't notice any fluids. To ease my worries, I got her tested today for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis using the HIV RNA PCR, p24 AgAb CMA method, and everything came back negative. She also said she's never had penetrative sex. Can I be sure I'm safe? I'm really stressing out and I don't think I'll go to a massage parlor again. Would appreciate any advice.
Based on the tests conducted, which returned negative results for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis, and considering the massage therapist's confession of being clean and not having penetrative sex, the risk of transmission appears low; however, to completely alleviate concerns, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and possibly undergoing additional testing after the recommended window period for maximum reassurance.
