I'm based in Pune and have been dealing with Tubercular Lymphadenopathy for the last 9 months, but I can still feel swollen nodes on the left side of my neck. I'm worried because even after all this treatment, the size hasn't gone down. Could you recommend a well-experienced specialist in Pune who can help me with this?

I had sex with someone new last night and during it the condom broke. It took me about a minute before fixing it and switching to a new one. Now I'm stressed about the risk of getting HIV from this. Is there a real chance I got infected? What should I do now if there's a possibility of having caught something?

Hi, I understand your concern. There's a potential risk of HIV transmission if the other person is HIV positive. I recommend starting **PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis)** within 72 hours and getting tested. Please consult a doctor immediately for evaluation and guidance.

I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.

You are on the right side no need to worry it takes time for the medicine to act and the infection to come under control,consume bland diet and stay hydrated.
