I'm wondering about the current treatment plan for MDR TB. Are injections still a part of the treatment, or is it now just oral medication? I heard there have been changes, and I'm a bit worried about what to expect.

So, I've been with my wife for two years now, and we got married in May 2015. We started off using condoms, but for the past few months, at least three I think, we've stopped using them. Both of us got tested for HIV and the results were non-reactive, which was done on May 23, 2016. This was after at least three months of having unprotected sex. The test we did is the ECLIA Cobas e411 Roche. Do you think there's any need to redo the HIV test, or is it fine as long as we're both staying loyal to each other? Is the test we have already sufficient?

ideally not needed unless you have concern.get yourself tested once in a year
