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?

View allI'm really worried because I've been dealing with typhoid fever for about a month now and I'm on antibiotics, but around 10 days ago I developed a sore throat and it's just not getting any better. Can you please give me some advice on what's going on with my sore throat? I'm really concerned about it.
Sore throat is usually not related to Typhoid but may occur. Please see a doctor who will examine your throat and advise you accordingly.

So a monkey bit me last week, and I'm a bit unsure about what I should or shouldn't be eating right now. Are there certain foods that I'd need to avoid or be cautious about? I'm really curious to know if my diet needs to change because of this bite.
Your 40-minute run and sweating before the blood test likely impacted your fasting blood sugar reading. _Why Fasting Sugar is High_ 1. _Adrenaline and cortisol_: Intense exercise triggers the release of stress hormones, which can raise blood sugar levels. 2. _Dehydration_: Sweating can lead to dehydration, causing blood sugar levels to increase. 3. _Liver glucose release_: Exercise can stimulate the liver to release stored glucose, increasing blood sugar levels. _Consider Retesting_ Repeat the fasting blood sugar test after a period of rest and a normal diet to get a more accurate reading.

I'm really worried because I had protected sex a week ago, but after four days, I started feeling unwell with fever and loose motions. Now I'm also experiencing night sweats. I ended up in the hospital, and all my tests came back fine, but I read somewhere that these can be initial symptoms of HIV. This really has me scared. Could you help me understand if I should be concerned about HIV or if there's something else going on?
It's important not to jump to conclusions without proper testing and evaluation. The symptoms you mentioned can be caused by various conditions and may not necessarily indicate HIV infection. If you are worried about HIV, the best course of action would be to get tested for HIV at a healthcare facility. In the meantime, if you are experiencing fever and loose motions, you can take over-the-counter medications like Paracetamol for fever (500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed) and Loperamide for loose motions (2mg after the first loose stool, then 1mg after each subsequent loose stool, but do not exceed 16mg in a day) to help manage your symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
