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!

View allI'm feeling really anxious because a while back, I had a risky encounter with someone whose HIV status I don't know. It's been 180 days since then, and I did an HIV test on day 179. The test I took was the HIV 1 and 2 p24 CMIA, and the result came back negative with an index value of 0.09. I'm trying to understand more about the window period for HIV testing and whether the CMIA test is as reliable as the ELISA test. Also, does taking the test two days earlier, like on day 179, affect the accuracy at all? I had multiple tests throughout this periodone at three months with an index of 0.07 and another at day 42, which was also negative with the same index value. Can you help me make sense of all this?
Advised elisa hiv test at 6 months and at 1 year.

I'm really worried because I had unprotected sex with a sex worker a few days ago, and now I'm planning to get tested for STDs within the next couple of days. What should I be looking out for, and is there anything else I should do right now? I'm feeling really anxious about this whole situation.
If you had unprotected sex with a sex worker, you should wait at least 14 days before getting tested for chlamydia or gonorrhea, and at least 28 days before getting tested for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Testing too early can lead to false results, while being tested too late can cause complication

I've got this lymph node tuberculosis on the left side of my neck, and I've been on the first line anti-tuberculosis treatment, plus Streptomycin injections, for around two months now. I've noticed that the swelling in my neck has moved from the top to the bottom. Is this normal, and what could it mean?
might be due to low immunity
