I recently got tested at Lal Path Labs and found out that both Chlamydia and Herpes came back reactive. I'm unmarried and now I'm confused about whether I should get married or not. Can these diseases be cured? What could happen if these are passed on to a female partner? I'm taking homeopathic medicines right now. I'm really worried about this whole situation.

Your son is due for the IPV and Hib vaccines, but unfortunately, they're not available right now. Don't worry, I've got some advice to help you navigate this situation.

Firstly, delayed vaccination is not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids receive the Hib vaccine at 12-15 months, and the IPV vaccine at 12-18 months .

Since your son is already 2 weeks overdue, you should consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action. They may recommend alternative vaccination schedules or provide guidance on when the vaccines are likely to become available again.

In the meantime, make sure your son is up-to-date on all other recommended vaccinations. This will help protect him from other serious diseases.

Lastly, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a vaccination specialist for further guidance. They can provide personalized advice and help you make informed decisions about your son's vaccination schedule.

I'm a bit anxious because I had sex using a condom, but it slipped off during the act. This happened last week, and now I'm really worried about the possibility of getting HIV from my partner. I'm considering seeing a doctor to check if everything's okay. What would you recommend?
