I've been treated for TB last year, but I've noticed a small swollen lymph node in the past few days that's tender. Should I be worried about it coming back?

I'm really worried about my blood test results. It came back showing that both TPHA and VDRL are reactive. Can you explain what kind of treatment I need for these, and how long it might take for the results to turn negative? I'm hoping to travel abroad soon, and this is really stressing me out. Can you guide me on what steps I should take next?

That requires a course of treatment could be for a period of 3-6 months,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my friend. She's got these swollen lymph nodes in her neck and groin, and I keep coming across information online suggesting it could be HIV. That idea really freaks me out, but it also doesn't seem quite right. Is it possible these symptoms are just from something like a common cold?

yes it can be due to common cold also

I'm Rajesh and recently I had a brief encounter with a sex worker, but I used two condoms for protection. It happened on the 8th of June 2018, and about 26 days later, I went for an HIV duo 4th generation test, which came back negative with a result of 0.09. Lately, I've developed a cold, cough, and some throat pain that I think could just be due to the weather. Can I trust these test results and get back to my regular routine, or should I be concerned? I'm really anxious about this and could use some guidance.

Hi Rajesh, based on your description, the HIV 4th generation test you took 26 days after exposure is highly reliable and indicates you are negative. Your symptoms are more likely due to weather changes and not related to HIV. You can continue with your regular life, but if you remain anxious, consider retesting at 6 weeks for complete peace of mind.
