I'm unmarried and usually masturbate 2 or 3 times a week. I'm worried if this could affect my health or sexual life in the future. Is there anything I should do to stop or reduce it? Could it be causing any internal issues that I should know about?

I'm really concerned about this swelling in my meatus. It's a dark blue color with some red dots. I've been seeing a surgeon for a while, and initially, they prescribed ciprofloxacin and some fungal medicine, but nothing has changed. I even tried more antibiotics, but it's been two weeks and still no improvement. My urine routine, culture, and ultrasound results all came back normal. What could be going on?

Reliable HIV testing after 6 years. The 4th generation CMIA (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) antigen and antibody test is highly accurate. Interpretation: 1. _Non-reactive result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies or p24 antigens. 2. _6-year window period_: Well beyond the recommended 3-6 month window for HIV testing after exposure. Nasal steroids: 1. _Unlikely to cause false negatives_: Steroids are not known to interfere with HIV tests. You can be reasonably confident in your HIV-negative status. However, consider: 1. _Other STIs_: Get tested for other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) if you haven't already. 2. _Future risks_: Continue practicing safe sex and get regular HIV tests if you're sexually active. Consult your doctor or an HIV specialist for personalized guidance and confirmation.
