I'm a bit worried because my Dengue IgM came back positive about 15 days ago, but the IgG and NS1 tests were negative. Im still feeling really weak even now. The strange thing is, I don't have a fever, headache, or any drop in my platelets or WBC. What should I do about this?

Dengue fever can cause weakness even after the fever has subsided. To help with your symptoms, you can take plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and eat a healthy diet. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any body aches or discomfort. Additionally, you can consider taking vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider.

View allI'm a 21-year-old guy and had unprotected oral sex with a girl, but I don't know her HIV status. I also ejaculated in her mouth. I've taken the HIV Tridot test three times once after 30 days, then after 45 days, and again after 74 days. All the results were negative. How reliable are these tests, and could they turn positive later on? What's the window period for the HIV Tridot test? I'm pretty anxious about this and would like to understand more.
The HIV Tridot test is highly accurate after 74 days, as the window period for most HIV tests is 2-12 weeks. Since your results are consistently negative, the chance of turning positive later is extremely low. For complete peace of mind, a confirmatory test at 90 days (like a 4th-generation test) is advisable.

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?
no problem he kk

Can you use a vacutainer needle without a safety lock on a different patient if its already been used on someone else? Also, is there a risk that the blood might clot in the needle, causing it not to work properly? What are the chances of someone getting HIV if blood is accidentally drawn with a needle that's already been used? Even if the blood is flowing out and not in, is there still a risk of HIV transmission?
kindly don't use contaminated needles or Vacutainer's and follow proper sterilized methods . Yes, there is a chance of transmission of various infections not only HIV. There are many other infections as well.
