I'm a bit confused about my test results. I tested negative for VDRL and RPR, but my TPHA came back positive at 1160. What does this mean for me in terms of timing or stage of syphilis? I've already taken a 2g dose of Azithromycin. Should I be concerned about needing Penicillin or Doxycycline too?

I've got a question about hair removal in sensitive areas like the genitals, testicles, and butt. Is it safe to use hair removal cream in those places for men? Can you recommend a good product that works well? I'm just a bit worried about any potential side effects or irritation.

To remove hair from the genital, testicle, and butt area using hair removal cream for men, I recommend using Veet Men Hair Removal Cream. Apply a thick, even layer of the cream on the desired areas, avoiding contact with the genitals. Leave it on for the recommended time (usually 5-10 minutes), then gently wipe off the cream and hair with a damp cloth. Make sure to do a patch test before using it on sensitive areas to avoid any adverse reactions.
