I'm really worried about my uncle who's 56 and has been dealing with tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. Hes already been on anti-tubercular medication for 19 months, but it hasn't improved his condition at all. I'm wondering if there are any top doctors or hospitals in India, especially around Delhi, that you could recommend for this situation. Is surgery something we should be considering as our next step?

Is there a chance of HIV transmission if the outside of the condom touches my penis after ejaculation? I'm a bit worried about this and just want to understand the risks.

HIV transmission risk is very low in this scenario, as the outer side of the condom would only be exposed to semen after ejaculation, and HIV requires direct contact with mucous membranes or open wounds to transmit. However, it's always good to be cautious about condom integrity and handling to reduce any potential risk.
