I'm looking at my husband's blood test results, and I'm a bit worried. It says he's rapid positive for Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen. The Antibodies Panel shows IGG as negative but IGM is weakly positive. Plus, his platelet count is quite low, showing 26.0 when the reference range is 150-410. Does this mean he definitely has Dengue? What should we do next?

So about three weeks ago, I had a situation where the condom broke during intercourse, and it was only for like 13 seconds. The girl is confirmed HIV positive, and I've been really stressed since then. I did a PCR qualitative HIV test on the 13th day after it happened, and then a duo combo HIV test the next day, both came back negative. Then I took another duo HIV test on the 23rd day, and that was negative too. Do these results mean I'm in the clear, or should I still be worried until I hit the 28-day mark for the confirmatory duo test?

Considering your medical abortion on Dec 22, 2020, and subsequent periods on Feb 2 and Mar 6, it's likely that your body is recovering from the abortion. _Possible reasons for stomach growth:_ 1. _Bloating_: Hormonal changes after the abortion might cause water retention and bloating. 2. _Weight gain_: Emotional eating or changes in appetite after the abortion could lead to weight gain. 3. _Uterine enlargement_: Although unlikely, it's possible that your uterus is still enlarged from the pregnancy, causing your stomach to appear larger. _Recommendations:_ 1. _Wait and observe_: Monitor your symptoms and stomach growth over the next few weeks. 2. _Maintain a healthy lifestyle_: Focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress management. 3. _Consider a home pregnancy test with a sensitivity of 20 mIUmL_: To confirm the absence of pregnancy.
