I had sex with someone new last night and during it the condom broke. It took me about a minute before fixing it and switching to a new one. Now I'm stressed about the risk of getting HIV from this. Is there a real chance I got infected? What should I do now if there's a possibility of having caught something?

Hi, I understand your concern. There's a potential risk of HIV transmission if the other person is HIV positive. I recommend starting PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) within 72 hours and getting tested. Please consult a doctor immediately for evaluation and guidance.

So a monkey bit me last week, and I'm a bit unsure about what I should or shouldn't be eating right now. Are there certain foods that I'd need to avoid or be cautious about? I'm really curious to know if my diet needs to change because of this bite.
Your 40-minute run and sweating before the blood test likely impacted your fasting blood sugar reading. _Why Fasting Sugar is High_ 1. _Adrenaline and cortisol_: Intense exercise triggers the release of stress hormones, which can raise blood sugar levels. 2. _Dehydration_: Sweating can lead to dehydration, causing blood sugar levels to increase. 3. _Liver glucose release_: Exercise can stimulate the liver to release stored glucose, increasing blood sugar levels. _Consider Retesting_ Repeat the fasting blood sugar test after a period of rest and a normal diet to get a more accurate reading.
