I'm feeling really anxious and depressed after an experience with an escort where the condom accidentally slipped. I immediately pulled out and put on a new one, but now I'm really worried about my chances of catching HIV or an STD. It's been three days, and I can't stop thinking about it. Can you help ease my mind or let me know what my risks really are?

View allI'm currently on medication for lymph node tuberculosis, and it's been around 2 and a half months. Recently, I've noticed that the nodes in my abdomen have become enlarged, whereas before it was just the ones in my neck and groin. I'm a bit worried and was wondering how long I might have these enlarged nodes and when this treatment course will be done. Can you help explain what's going on?
Enlarged lymph nodes can persist throughout TB treatment, but they typically start to shrink within 3-6 months; the standard treatment course for lymph node TB is 6-9 months, but it may vary depending on your response to treatment, so consult your doctor to assess your progress and determine the best course of action.

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.

I'm really worried about my health situation and hope you can help me out. Back in June 2015, I had protected sex with a sex worker. Over the past year, I've done several HIV tests, including the tri-dot and an ICTC test, and all of them came back negative, even the one-year mark test. But I'm anxious because I've read online about a connection between HIV and filariasis. Lately, I've had jaundice and a swollen testicle, and I'm currently on medications like dec 100 mg. So now, I'm really confused and would like to know: how accurate is the tri-dot test, and could all these symptoms be related in any way? Am I really in the clear or should I be worried?
There is no such relation no need to worry you are free from hiv ,get yourself tested once a yr for 3 years
