I've been having these weird episodes where I suddenly start shivering, and my body temperature drops. But then, not long after, the shivering stops, and my temperature goes up really high. It's confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this, and how concerned should I be?

View allI'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck, and after finishing two months of medication, the lump turned reddish and there's an open sinus with discharge coming out. I'm really concerned about this. Do you know why this might be happening and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it possible to completely cure this?

I'm feeling really stressed and confused about a recent potential HIV exposure. I had protected sex with a prostitute on December 26th, 2021, and today is January 17th, 2022. I've been reading a lot about symptoms online, and it's freaking me out. I took an HIV test (4th generation abag p24) on the 10th day after the exposure, and it came back non-reactive, with an index value of 0.12. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or do I need to take another test on the 28th day, like my doctor suggested? He mentioned that if I'm negative on the 28th day, I can just move on, but I'm still unsure. Can you help clarify this for me?
Stay calm, follow your doctors advice, and get the test done at 28 days. It's likely that you are HIV negative, but waiting for the additional test will help to definitively confirm it. Avoid reading too much online about symptoms, as it may only increase stress and anxiety.

I'm really worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?
Continue same treatment.
