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.

if you have any other symptoms like fever , evening rise of temperature and mainly the blood test would have confirmed if it was a tuberculosis

I've heard that someone who had COVID tested negative after 21 days. Is it okay to meet them and have close contact after two months? Is there still any risk of passing on COVID or anything like that? Just trying to be cautious and understand the situation better.
yes you can meet that person.

I'm really concerned about my HIV status after having an unprotected encounter with a sex worker. I've taken several tests: an HIV Antibody Test at 21 days and at 2 monthswhich were both negativethen a CMIA Method test at 12 weeks, and a Rapid Test at 3 months. I also did a CMIA test at 20 and 22 weeks, and all these were negative too. Are these results considered conclusive? I've been experiencing some issues like recurring colds, muscle and joint pains, and low levels of Vitamin D and B. Could these symptoms mean something? I'm just worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Based on the negative results from multiple HIV tests at various intervals, it is highly unlikely that you are HIV-positive. However, the symptoms you're experiencing, such as recurring colds, muscle and joint pain, and low vitamin levels, may indicate other underlying health issues. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to further investigate these symptoms and address any deficiencies.
