I'm really worried about continuing breastfeeding after being diagnosed with TB in my lymph node biopsy. I'm currently taking Aukrit 4. Is it safe for me to keep breastfeeding, or should I consider stopping for my baby's safety? Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm really concerned about my HIV status. So, I had a PCR RNA test 22 days after potential exposure, and it came back not detected. Then, at 44 days, I did an HIV combo test and it was negative. Finally, I did HIV rapid testing at 76 days, and that was negative too. Based on these results, am I in the clear?

I'm really worried and need some advice. I had an Elisa HIV 1 and 2 test done 21 days after a possible exposure, and it came back negative at 0.006. Is that result conclusive, or should I think about getting tested again in 2 or 3 months? I only had oral sex and kissed the lips of a sex worker quite a few times. Am I still at risk?
