I met a 40-year-old lady in Dubai, and she ended up performing oral sex on me. I was wearing a condom, but at one point, I sucked on her left nipple for maybe a minute. I'm not sure about her HIV status; she seemed like a prostitute. I can't really remember if any breast discharge got into my mouth, but right after, I rinsed my mouth with water. Then, about five minutes later, I brushed my teeth with toothpaste and swallowed. I'm really concernedcould I have contracted HIV from this encounter? It's been 71 days now, and I had two different rapid tests, both came back negative. Should I be worried about getting infected?

I'm worried about dengue spreading between people. If my wife has dengue and we kiss, could I get infected too?

Dengue is primarily spread through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It is not spread through direct person-to-person contact such as kissing. However, it is important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, especially if your wife has dengue. You can use mosquito repellents containing DEET, wear long-sleeved clothing, and use mosquito nets to reduce the risk of mosquito bites. If you develop symptoms of dengue such as high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding (e.g., nosebleeds, bleeding gums), you should seek medical attention.
