I'm really worried about this breast lump that started during my pregnancy. It turned into sinuses, and the shape changed too. They did an ultrasound and found acute chronic mastitis, but even after antibiotics, nothing helped. Now they've told me it's breast TB, and I'm on medicine for that. Could this really be tuberculosis, or is there a chance it could be something else? I'm really looking for some clarity here, doc.

View allmy close family member has spinal TB affecting the L4 and L5 discs and is getting treated with surgery and a 9-month medication course - can this disease spread to others at home or is it contagious
Spinal tuberculosis, or Pott's disease, is generally not directly contagious in the way that pulmonary TB is. The infection typically spreads through the bloodstream from a primary infection, often in the lungs, to the bones and discs in the spine.

I'm 28 and recently had sex with a prostitute, but I'm not sure about her HIV status. After I got an erection, some serum leaked from the condom and got into her vagina, though she cleaned up right away. I'm pretty worried and just wondering if there's any risk of HIV transmission from this situation?

I've been recovering from typhoid that was diagnosed back on January 16, 2018. I don't have a fever anymore, just a bit of weakness and some leg pain. I'm wondering if it's okay to start working again. Also, is there a chance I'm still contagious? And since my typhoid relapsed after two years, is there any treatment available that could prevent this from happening again?
