I've got some redness and pain on the spot where I had a Mantoux Test done about two days ago. The redness has spread to roughly 15 mm. Could this mean something I should be concerned about?

View allI'm really worried right now. I had sex with a sex worker and used a condom, but I'm anxious about the risks of HIV. Is there any chance of getting HIV if the outside of the condom touched my penis after ejaculation? Also, after I touched her vagina and then my penis, could that have been risky too? Another thing, I kissed her body but avoided her lips and vagina. Should I be concerned about that? Please help me figure out what to do next.
yes

I'm a bit concerned about my HIV test results. They came back non-reactive after 140 days, but I'm wondering if that's conclusive. Is there a specific test that's considered the best for detecting HIV? Also, could you help me understand the window period for HIV detection?
The window period of HIV can be any where between a month and a decade. However, you can undergo an ELISA test or Western blot test which are mostly accurate. If both these tests are non reactive, there are high chances that you are not HIV patient. However, you can still undergo a routine test every six months or once a year just to be sure

I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.
You are on the right side no need to worry it takes time for the medicine to act and the infection to come under control,consume bland diet and stay hydrated.
