I recently had a risky encounter with a commercial sex worker and was pretty worried about HIV exposure. I went to see a doctor right away and started a post-exposure prophylaxis treatment with tenofoviremtricitabine and raltegravir, just under 12 hours after the exposure. I just finished the 28-day course and got tested on the 29th day with a CMIA test that came back negative. Does this mean Im in the clear, or should I be concerned about anything else related to HIV?

It's reassuring that your CMIA test on Day 29 was negative, and you took PEP promptly, which greatly reduces HIV risk. However, follow-up testing at 6 weeks and 3 months post-exposure is crucial to confirm your status fully. Stay positive and consult your doctor for guidance.

I've been experiencing something strange and it's a bit concerning. Every evening around 5 o'clock, I start getting a fever, and it sticks around until about 9 o'clock. After that, I feel completely fine, only for it to happen again the next day. This has been going on for the past 15 days. I'm on antibiotics, but they don't seem to be helping. The blood test says I have typhoid, but I don't notice any other symptoms of it in myself. What should I do?

Follow proper antibiotic course and immunizing diet
