I'm really anxious because I had unprotected sex with a woman, and now I'm at 82 days. I've been planning to get an HIV test after 90 days. Lately, I've had a dry cough for about two months. Could this be a symptom of HIV or am I just overthinking it? Can you help me understand this better?

View allI'm a bit worried and need some advice. I had protected intercourse recently, but I'm still planning to get the HIV 1 and 2 tests done just to be safe. I'm wondering if I could get accurate results in 23 days, or does it usually take longer for a final confirmation? Any suggestions on how this process generally works?
You Can get it done at any time but repeat the test after 6 months from now

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.

I'm really concerned about the different types of typhoid. Can you tell me which one is more serious, the H typhi or the O typhi? I'm worried about which one poses a bigger threat to health.
H typhi and O typhi are both serovars of the bacteria Salmonella enterica. H typhi is also known as Salmonella typhi, which causes typhoid fever in humans. O typhi is another serovar of Salmonella enterica, but it is not commonly associated with causing disease in humans. For the treatment of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi (H typhi), antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin are commonly prescribed. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the infection and other factors.
