I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.

I've had PV malaria three times this year and each time I took Lariago DS. I can't take PQ though, because my G6PD enzyme levels are on the lower side. Is there any permanent way to get rid of this? I'm really worried it might keep coming back.
Given your recurrent Plasmodium vivax (PV) malaria and G6PD deficiency, which prevents you from taking primaquine (PQ), consider consulting a specialist for alternative treatment options, such as a higher dose of chloroquine or a combination of chloroquine and other antimalarial medications, and take preventive measures, including using insecticide-treated bed nets, wearing protective clothing, and applying insect repellents to minimize the risk of future infections.

I'm really worried because my wife has had a lump in her right armpit for about three months, and now there's swelling in her right breast too. Her doctor had her do a PPD TB skin test, and it came back positive with a 20 mm induration, even though she doesn't have any typical symptoms like a cough or fever. She's on anti-TB meds now, but I'm wondering if TB could really be causing the lump and the swelling. Is the skin test enough to confirm TB, or should we look into doing more tests? Your advice would be really helpful.
yes tuberculosis can cause lump. skin test is a initial diagnostic test
