I've heard that someone who had COVID tested negative after 21 days. Is it okay to meet them and have close contact after two months? Is there still any risk of passing on COVID or anything like that? Just trying to be cautious and understand the situation better.

View allI recently had a risky encounter with a commercial sex worker and was pretty worried about HIV exposure. I went to see a doctor right away and started a post-exposure prophylaxis treatment with tenofoviremtricitabine and raltegravir, just under 12 hours after the exposure. I just finished the 28-day course and got tested on the 29th day with a CMIA test that came back negative. Does this mean Im in the clear, or should I be concerned about anything else related to HIV?
It's reassuring that your CMIA test on Day 29 was negative, and you took PEP promptly, which greatly reduces HIV risk. However, follow-up testing at 6 weeks and 3 months post-exposure is crucial to confirm your status fully. Stay positive and consult your doctor for guidance.

I'm a bit worried because my Dengue IgM came back positive about 15 days ago, but the IgG and NS1 tests were negative. Im still feeling really weak even now. The strange thing is, I don't have a fever, headache, or any drop in my platelets or WBC. What should I do about this?
Dengue fever can cause weakness even after the fever has subsided. To help with your symptoms, you can take plenty of rest, stay well-hydrated, and eat a healthy diet. You can also take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with any body aches or discomfort. Additionally, you can consider taking vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider.

I'm really worried about this breast lump that started during my pregnancy. It turned into sinuses, and the shape changed too. They did an ultrasound and found acute chronic mastitis, but even after antibiotics, nothing helped. Now they've told me it's breast TB, and I'm on medicine for that. Could this really be tuberculosis, or is there a chance it could be something else? I'm really looking for some clarity here, doc.
if you have any other symptoms like fever , evening rise of temperature and mainly the blood test would have confirmed if it was a tuberculosis
