I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck, and after finishing two months of medication, the lump turned reddish and there's an open sinus with discharge coming out. I'm really concerned about this. Do you know why this might be happening and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it possible to completely cure this?

So, I went to get my beard shaved at a barber shop, and I noticed that the barber didn't change the blade. I ended up with a small cut too. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV transmission in this situation?

I've been dealing with minor fevers recently, especially in the evenings, and I'm worried because I had typhoid almost two years ago. I decided to get some tests done, and the results showed my Typhi IgM is weak positive and typhi H is reactive up to a titre of 140. I'm not sure what this means. Does this indicate I still have typhoid, or is this a normal finding after having had it before?

no it is a minor infection
