Hey, I'm trying to understand more about STDs. Could you explain which ones can be treated and which can't? Also, what options do I have in Mumbai for getting tested? I want to make sure I choose the best package for diagnosis. Any advice would be really helpful!

I need some advice. Yesterday, I ate a raw mango that a friend had already chewed. The thing is, my friend has been living with HIV for the past two years and isnt on any HIV medication. I'm really worried because I remember reading something from the CDC about the risk of getting HIV from pre-chewed food. Plus, I've heard that people with HIV can have bleeding gums. Do you think I should get tested for HIV?
Yes you have to get tested,visit general physician for a comlete dose of post exposure prophylaxis.
