Question

I'm dealing with malaria and the vomiting sensation is really tough to manage. Even though I'm on the prescribed medication, it's not helping much with the nausea. What can I do about this?

Question

I'm really concerned about the type of mask I should be wearing in public. Is a surgical mask necessary, or is a simple cotton washable mask enough to protect against viruses? Also, does hand sanitizer really kill viruses effectively?

Question

I've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?

Question

I'm really worried because I had unprotected oral sex with a commercial sex worker back in October 2020. Since then, Ive had persistent lymphadenopathy. I've taken numerous tests: HIV Tridot on December 6th came back negative, HIV ELISA on December 16th also negative. I had an HIV-1 RNA PCR test in the first week of January which was negative, and then HIV-2 RNA PCR and western blot on January 19th also negative. Even tests like the HIV duo on January 30th and western blot on February 10th were negative, and I did assessments at the 7-month mark including HIV duo, western blot, HIV qualitative RNA PCR, and ICTCall came back negative. Should I still be worried about HIV?
