I'm really worried because I've been dealing with a cough, fever, and breathing problems for the past three months. I've been to the hospital and they said it's pneumonia, but even with the medication, I don't feel any better. Can you tell me what the best treatment would be?

I'm really worried about my sister's chest X-ray results. It mentioned everything was normal except it said the right hilar shadows are heavy and show nodularity, linked to lymphadenopathy. I'm pretty anxious and just need to know if this is something that only happens to people with HIV or could it be something else?

The finding of "right hilar shadows heavy with nodularity, suggestive of lymphadenopathy," is not specific to HIV infection. It can occur in various conditions, including infections, inflammatory diseases, or even cancers. Further investigation, such as clinical assessment and additional tests, is needed to determine the exact cause.
