I'm dealing with HIVAIDS and feeling pretty anxious about it. Are there any treatments or remedies in allopathic medicine or maybe homeopathy and Ayurveda? What would you recommend? I'm really looking for some guidance.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my HIV test results. They came back non-reactive after 140 days, but I'm wondering if that's conclusive. Is there a specific test that's considered the best for detecting HIV? Also, could you help me understand the window period for HIV detection?
The window period of HIV can be any where between a month and a decade. However, you can undergo an ELISA test or Western blot test which are mostly accurate. If both these tests are non reactive, there are high chances that you are not HIV patient. However, you can still undergo a routine test every six months or once a year just to be sure

I'm really anxious right now because I accidentally came into contact with serum blood from someone who's HIV positive at the pathology laboratory where I work. I'm worried about the possibility of getting HIV from this. Can you help me understand the risks or what I should do next?
Accidental exposure to HIV-positive blood can be worrying. To reduce the risk of HIV transmission, you should immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. Additionally, you should seek medical evaluation as soon as possible. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medication can be prescribed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. It is important to start PEP as soon as possible, ideally within hours of exposure, for it to be most effective.

I'm really worried about my wife. She was diagnosed with TB in March and started on the standard treatment, but now she's dealing with back and neck pain, and stiffness in both areas. I've had some general physicians suggest getting an X-ray of her spine to check for Pott's spine, while others are saying an MRI of the whole spine or a CT scan of the LS spine might be better. Can you help me understand what might be going on and which specialist we should see? I'm also confused about why she might have spine TB symptoms when she's already on meds for TB in her lungs.
Yes .MRI spine is advised to the patient for evaluating potts spine TB..If TB spine is present pt needs ATT for another 6 months ,since it is extrapulmonary TB.
