Question 1

I'm 20 years old and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to drink Ensure powder since I'm anemic. Can this help with my condition?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can drink Ensure powder drink at the age of 20. Ensure is a nutritional supplement that can help meet your daily nutrient requirements. Since you mentioned you are anemic, Ensure can be beneficial as it contains iron which is important for managing anemia. You can take one serving of Ensure powder drink per day to supplement your diet and help improve your nutritional status.

Negative HIV test after 2 years, but symptoms persist:
 
 *Interpretation:*
 
 1. HIV-negative status confirmed.
 2. CD4 count (1197) is normal.
 3. RNA PCR (viral load) undetectable.

 *Symptoms may indicate:*
 
 1. Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS)
 2. Opportunistic infections (e.g., oral thrush)
 3. Allergic reactions
 4. Other health conditions (e.g., autoimmune disorders)
 
 *Recommendations:*
 
 1. Consult an infectious disease specialist or immunologist.
 2. Rule out other infections (e.g., fungal, bacterial).
 3. Consider:
 - Antifungal treatment for oral thrush.
 - Topical creams for lip itching and rashes.
 - Pain management for tongue pain.
 4. Monitor lymph nodes and repeat testing if necessary.
 5. Address anxiety and stress through counseling or support groups.
 
 *Late seroconversion unlikely:*
 
 Given your negative HIV tests and undetectable viral load, late seroconversion is unlikely.
