I've been dealing with bone TB since March 2018, and recently, I had to stop taking streptomycin after 30 days because it was making me dizzy and messing with my balance, which was really throwing me off. It's been about five days since I stopped, but I'm still feeling off. Any idea how long it'll take for these side effects to go away? Also, should I be taking anything else to help with this? I'm currently on ethambutol and isoniazid.

my relative got an HIV ELISA test before surgery and the report says cut off value is 0.1312 with non-reactive result - can you explain what this means in simple terms? are they HIV negative or is there still a risk?
A "non-reactive" result on an HIV ELISA test, especially with a low S/CO ratio like 0.1312, means the test didn't detect any significant signs of HIV infection at the time of the test. In simple terms, this usually means the person is HIV negative, but there's a small chance of a recent infection that the test hasn't yet detected.

I'm really concerned about the type of mask I should be wearing in public. Is a surgical mask necessary, or is a simple cotton washable mask enough to protect against viruses? Also, does hand sanitizer really kill viruses effectively?
better wear cloth masks.
