View allI'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?

I'm really stressed out because I had protected sex about a month ago, and now I can't stop worrying about the possibility of having contracted HIV. I'm not sure what to do or if I should get tested. Can you please give me some guidance on this?
I understand your concern, but if you used protection, the risk of HIV transmission is extremely low. However, if you're still worried, consider getting tested for peace of mind. It's always best to address your concerns with a healthcare provider who can guide you further.

I'm a bit worried about something. I had sex with a condom with a commercial sex worker, and there was some kind of cut or abrasion on my penis shaft inside the condom. The condom didn't break or slip during sex, but I'm anxious about the risk of HIV transmission when taking the condom off. Could you help me understand what the chances are?
There is minimal risk,but try to avoid having sex until your wound is healed,and get yourself tested for HIV every 6 months once.
