I have a 19mm stone in my right kidney but the measurements say 18.89.213.7mm. Can you clarify if it's actually 19mm or 13.7mm? Is there any way to shrink or dissolve this stone with medication alone, or will I definitely need surgery?

I've been really worried because a few days ago, I had unprotected sex with a girl who was on her period, and now I'm experiencing some symptoms like needing to pee urgently, frequently going in small amounts, and it burns when I do. Does this mean I might have HIV? It was only vaginal sex and I did finish a bit inside. Could you tell me what the chances are of having contracted HIV?

kindly get urine culture and sensitivity test done along with HIV
