I've been taking Hetrazan 100 for three days and noticed that my lymph nodes are swollen. Could this be a side effect of the medication, like maybe the diethylcarbamazine in it is causing this? I'm a bit worried about this reaction. What should I do?

I'm really worried about my uncle who's 56 and has been dealing with tubercular infection in his lymph nodes. Hes already been on anti-tubercular medication for 19 months, but it hasn't improved his condition at all. I'm wondering if there are any top doctors or hospitals in India, especially around Delhi, that you could recommend for this situation. Is surgery something we should be considering as our next step?

I'm worried about HIV and was wondering what the symptoms are if you test positive. Also, is there any possibility of a cure? I'd really like to know how I can protect myself from this disease.
HIV positive symptoms are mostly non specific. About two-thirds of people experience a flu-like illness within 2 to 4 weeks of infection. Symptoms include: Fever Chills Rash Night sweats Muscle aches Sore throat Fatigue Swollen lymph nodes Mouth ulcers. Treatment is there if one get diagnosed with HIV positive. There are several ways to reduce the risk of HIV infection, including: Condoms: Use a condom correctly every time you have sex, especially with partners who are HIV positive or whose HIV status is unknown. Limit sexual partners: Reduce the number of sexual partners you have. Get tested: Get tested for HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). PrEP: Take pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), an HIV prevention medicine, daily or as a long-acting injection. PrEP is only available by prescription from a licensed health care provider. PEP: Take post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours of a possible exposure to HIV. Avoid sharing needles: Never share needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment. If you can't access new equipment, you can sterilize what you have. Harm reduction services: Use harm reduction services for people who inject and use drugs. Male circumcision: Get a voluntary medical male circumcision.
