Question

I've been dealing with swelling on the left side of my neck for about a month now. My doctor diagnosed it as lymph node tuberculosis and gave me some medication to treat it. I've been following the treatment plan for 25 days, but the swelling seems to have increased rather than decreased. Why would it get bigger while I'm on medication? Could it be spreading to other parts of my body?

Question

I recently visited a massage place and something is really bothering me. I was wearing one of those disposable poly pants and lying on my stomach. The massage therapist, who was a woman and nude, sat on my buttocks during the massage, and I ended up ejaculating in my pants. There wasnt any kind of penetration at all. But now Im really worriedwhat if her vaginal fluids somehow got through the disposable pant and came into contact with my penis or anus? Is there any chance I could have contracted HIV from this?

Question

I'm really concerned because a friend of mine has been diagnosed with abdomen TB. I wanted to ask if this type of TB can spread through coughing or sneezing, or if it's not infectious like that. Is it safe for us to talk without wearing masks?
