I'm really worried and could use some advice. It's been 9 months since I had unprotected sex, and I've been tested for HIV three times, each time after 3 months. All the results have come back as "Non-Reactive." What exactly does that mean? I'm just so anxious thinking I might have HIV or AIDS. Could you please help me understand this situation?

It's okay to be concerned, but your non-reactive HIV test results at 3, 6, and 9 months are reassuring, as they indicate you are not infected with HIV. If you still feel anxious, consult a doctor for further guidance or counseling to ease your worries.

View allI'm really worried about my situation. I had sex with a girl two years ago, and since then, I've been really cautious about my health. I did an HIV ELISA test two weeks after, a 12-test after 3 months, then again at 5 months and 8 months, and they all came back negative. I also did the HIV1 Ag and HIV 1 & 2 IgG Ab ECLIA, and those were negative too. Just recently, two years later, I took the HIV 1 & 2 Tridot test, and it was negative as well. Should I be concerned, or do you think I need to do any more testing?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's dealing with lymph nodes TB and we began her treatment about three days ago. Since then, her urine has turned red and today she even started vomiting a red color. It's freaking me out, especially because she's diabetic. Can you tell me what might be going on and what we should do?

I'm trying to understand these test results better. It says "Salmonella typhi O TO Reactive up to Titre 140" and "Salmonella typhi H TH Reactive up to Titre 1160." Then there's "Salmonella paratyphi A H AH Reactive up to Titre 180," but "Salmonella paratyphi B H BH Non Reactive." Should I be worried about these numbers? What's the difference between my typhi and paratyphi results? Any advice on what these mean for my health? I'm kind of concerned about what I should do next.
