Question 1

I'm a 40-year-old guy dealing with joint pain, stiffness, and it's making it hard for me to get around. The doctor prescribed dart tablets, but they leave me feeling really anxious, agitated, and nauseous. Any ideas on other meds I could try that might not have these side effects?

Accepted Answer

Seems like you are experiencing side effects from the dart tablet. An alternative medicine you can try for joint pain is Celebrex (Celecoxib) 200mg once daily. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can help relieve pain and inflammation in the joints. Make sure to take it with food to reduce the risk of stomach upset.

HIV Test Results After Exposure

_Your Test Results_

3. _Duo HIV test (Day 23)_: Negative

_Interpretation of Results_

2. _Low risk of false negatives_: The combination of negative results from different tests reduces the risk of false negatives.
3. _Window period_: You've tested negative within the window period (23 days), which reduces the likelihood of HIV infection.

_Assurance Before 28-Day Confirmatory Test_

1. _High confidence_: Your negative test results provide high confidence that you may not be infected with HIV.
2. _28-day confirmatory test_: However, it's essential to complete the 28-day confirmatory test to confirm your HIV status.

_Next Steps_

1. _Complete the 28-day test_: Schedule the confirmatory test on or after the 28th day.
2. _Maintain precautions_: Continue to practice safe sex and maintain precautions until you receive your confirmatory test results.

Question 5

I'm just a bit worried and curious about something. If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, what are the chances of someone else getting infected? Also, after the window period, what kind of HIV test would be good enough to rely on?

Accepted Answer

If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, the chances of others getting infected are low but not zero. It is still possible for HIV to be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or sharing needles with someone who is HIV positive. After the window period, the most common and reliable HIV test is the HIV antibody test. This test looks for antibodies that your body makes in response to the HIV infection. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.

Question 6

I'm a 16-year-old girl and I've read on Google that girls stop growing two years after they get their period. But I've also seen other research saying that's not true, and now I'm really confused. Can you tell me if it's still possible for me to grow...

Accepted Answer

It's a common misconception that girls stop growing after two years of menstruation. While growth typically slows down after puberty, many girls can still grow taller in their late teens, up to around age 18. It depends on individual factors like genetics and nutrition. If you're 16, there's still a chance for some growth!
