I'm worried about my left eye. It feels like something is pulling it from behind, on the temporal side, especially when I take off my glasses to read. I've been using spectacles for myopia since I was 18, and my current prescription is 4 for the left eye and 3 for the right, which Ive had for about 3 months now. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this feeling?

The sensation of your left eyeball being pulled from behind on the temporal side when removing glasses for reading may be related to eye strain, convergence insufficiency, or accommodative spasm, which can occur due to prolonged near vision tasks; consider consulting an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation, and discuss potential corrective measures, such as adjusting your glasses prescription, incorporating eye exercises, or using reading glasses with a different power.

View allI'm a bit worried because I used to masturbate a lot when I was in 12th grade, and I would often play sports right after. Now, I only do it once a week or every two weeks. I'm 22 years old and recently noticed I need glasses with a prescription of 0.5. Could my past habits of frequent masturbation have affected my health or eyesight? I would really like to know.
Masturbation does not have any direct negative effects on your health or eyes. Wearing glasses with a power of 0.5 is a common prescription for mild vision issues and is not typically related to masturbation. It is important to maintain a balanced lifestyle with regular exercise, healthy diet, and adequate sleep for overall well-being. If you have any specific concerns about your health or eyes, it is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist for a thorough evaluation.

I'm really considering getting the C3R treatment, but I'm curious if its a one-time thing or if it needs to be done again later on. Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of before going ahead with it?
Taking an HIV test voluntarily is a responsible and proactive step. *Voluntary HIV Testing* 1. *Yes, you can take an HIV test voluntarily*: Many healthcare providers, clinics, and testing centers offer HIV testing without a doctor's referral. 2. *Types of HIV tests*: Common HIV tests include: - Rapid tests (results in 15-30 minutes) - Blood tests (results in 1-2 weeks) - Oral fluid tests (results in 15-30 minutes) 3. *Confidentiality*: HIV testing is confidential, and your results will be shared only with you. *HIV Testing After Possible Exposure* 1. *Window period*: HIV tests can detect the virus after a certain window period, which varies depending on the test: - Rapid tests: 23-90 days - Blood tests: 18-45 days - Oral fluid tests: 23-90 days 2. *Recommended testing schedule*: After possible exposure, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend: - Testing at 13-18 days after exposure (for early detection) - Testing again at 45-60 days after exposure (for confirmation) - Final testing at 90 days after exposure (for conclusive results) 3. *One-year testing*: If you're concerned about exposure one year ago, it's still essential to get tested. However, the CDC recommends testing within the first 90 days after exposure for accurate results. *Next Steps* 1. *Find a testing center*: Locate a nearby HIV testing center or healthcare provider that offers HIV testing. 2. *Discuss your concerns*: Share your concerns and exposure history with the testing center or healthcare provider. 3. *Get tested*: Take the recommended HIV test, and follow up with additional testing as recommended.
