I'm wondering if there's any risk of getting HIV from getting a handjob where the person used oil. And what about other STIs? Is there anything else I could be at risk for? Do I need to get tested, and if so, which tests should I consider?

View allI'm a bit worried because my Dengue IgM came back positive about 15 days ago, but the IgG and NS1 tests were negative. Im still feeling really weak even now. The strange thing is, I don't have a fever, headache, or any drop in my platelets or WBC. What should I do about this?
Dengue fever can cause weakness even after the fever has subsided. To help with your symptoms, you can take plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and eat a healthy diet. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any body aches or discomfort. Additionally, you can consider taking vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider.

I'm feeling quite anxious about my test results. My neutrophils are at 84, and my erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 23mmhr. I've also got a pus cell count of 5-6 hpf. The results show Salmonella typhi O and H both at 1:160, while Salmonella paratyphi A and B are negative. It says negative for dengue and malaria. My RBC count is 5.61 millioncmm, platelet count is 2.13 lakhscmm, and haemoglobin is 16.2 gdl. My WBC is at 7000 cellscumm. The doctor suggested that I get admitted, but I'm really pressed for time and can't afford to do that right now. What should I do?
Hi from the reports it seems to be like typhoid fever. The decision of admission must be taken by you and your doctor after discussion of the condition

I'm really worried about my HIV status after having unprotected sex. How soon can I get reliable results from an HIV1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test? I've heard it's different from a qualitative test, so I want to make sure I get accurate information.
After unprotected sex, the HIV-1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test can give a quantitative HIV status typically within 9 to 11 days post-exposure. It is important to note that this test measures the amount of HIV virus present in the blood, rather than simply detecting its presence.
