I had a left upper ureteric obstruction with hydronephrosis and a dilated left upper ureter, and my left Pelvicalyceal system is also dilated. A stent procedure a few months ago didn't help are there other treatment options besides open surgery? Also, how can I keep this from happening again in the future?

I've got a situation that's been on my mind. I ended up having paid sex with a woman who said she wasn't a professional. We used a condom, but later I realized there was a small hole in it. This really got me worried, so I went for an HIVDUO IVth Generation test just to be sure. I had sex on the 17th of March and I got tested on the 19th. The result mentioned that it's non-reactive with a value of 0.32 unit SCO. Can you help me understand what this means and what I should do next?

it detects both HIV antibodies and the p24 antigen .The test you took on March 19th (only 2 days after the possible exposure) is quite early, and it might not have been able to detect HIV infection if it occurred after that exposure. It's generally recommended to retest for HIV at 46 weeks post-exposure for a more reliable result. If you are still concerned about the possibility of HIV, you might be a candidate for PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis). PEP is a treatment regimen that can prevent HIV if started within 72 hours of exposure

I'm considering adult circumcision because I have a tight foreskin issue and might need surgery. What are the actual benefits of getting circumcised? I've heard it can reduce sexual pleasure is that true? Could you explain the pros and cons? Also, what's the typical cost for this procedure?

Circumcision changes how someone's penis looks and may lower their risk of diseases such as cancer of the penis, HIV, and HPV.it has no effect on your sexual function or fertility.
