I'm a bit worried about the 56-day window period for taking an HIV p24 antigen and HIV III antibody test. Does that timeframe really give accurate results after potential exposure? I've heard different things and just want to be sure I'm getting tested at the right time. Can you give some advice on how reliable this is?

The recurrence of lip swelling after taking Norflox TZ, similar to your previous reaction to Levofloxacin, suggests a possible allergy or hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics; it's essential to consult an allergist to discuss the reactions and determine the best course of action for future antibiotic treatments, as they may recommend alternative antibiotics or allergy testing.

View allI'm worried about my friend who had a possible HIV exposure. He got tested at 30 days with the HIV12 antibodies combo test from Dr. Lal Path Labs and it came back negative. Then, he took another test at 45 days with SRL lab, and that was negative too. Is there still a chance he could seroconvert after 45 days? This whole situation has got us both stressed out.
ask him to get tested at an interval of 6 months if that also turns out negative,then he is free from disease

I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.
Yes ,continue same treatment as advised by the pulmonologist. If symptoms re-appear pulmonologist opinion is advised.

I've been having a fever at the same time every day, with shivering and body pain for the last 45 days. I visited a doctor, but they couldn't diagnose what's going on. Can you help me figure out what this might be? It's been pretty frustrating and worrying.
It sounds like you may have a recurring fever pattern, possibly due to an infection like malaria, dengue, or typhoid, which needs specific testing. Request blood tests like CBC, malarial parasite, and typhoid panel, and ensure adequate hydration and rest while awaiting results.
