I've just had the Mantoux test done on 1542017. Now I've got this 20mm swelling and redness where they injected it. What could this mean? Should I be concerned?

View allWhat are the chances of getting HIV from a razor cut while getting a shave at the barber, especially if I had pimples on my face at the time? Last month the barber did change the blade, but the razor was old, and there was a bit of blood which he cleaned off with water. I got an HIV 1 and 2 test done 37 days later, and the result came back negative. Should I be worried?
HIV is not easily transmitted through razor cuts because the virus is fragile and does not survive long outside the body. Additionally, the virus cannot be transmitted through intact skin. As for the pimples on your face, they do not increase the risk of HIV transmission in this scenario. Since you have already tested negative for HIV 1 and 2 after 37 days, it is unlikely that you have contracted the virus from the incident you described. It is important to continue practicing safe hygiene practices and regular testing for sexually transmitted infections.

I noticed an oval-shaped cystic lesion in my left temporal region with a long coiled echogenic structure moving inside it, and my doctor suspects larva migrans. I've been taking Bandy plus tablets and the swelling has reduced a lot, but I'm wondering if I should see a worm specialist to avoid surgery. Which type of doctor should I consult for this?
