I'm really worried right now. My mother-in-law recently passed away due to a cardiac arrest, but after her death, we found out she was COVID positive. I'm not sure what I need to do next or what precautions I should take to protect myself and my family. Any advice would really help.

I'm really worried and need some advice. If I had protection and my penis just touched or rubbed a little against the upper part of the vagina, is there still a risk of HIV? Should I ask him to get tested even though there was no penetration?

The risk of HIV transmission in this scenario is extremely low, especially if protection was used, and there was no penetration or exchange of bodily fluids. Routine testing is not necessary for such contact, but if you're anxious or unsure about potential exposure, getting tested can provide peace of mind.

I'm dealing with Malaria and my doctor prescribed Falcigo sp kit, but I can't remember the dosage and how long I'm supposed to take it. Could you help me out with this?
