I've taken an HIV rapid test three months after possible exposure, and the result came back negative. Is this result definitive, or is it advisable to have another test done?

you are highly likely to be HIV-negative. There is usually no need for additional testing unless you have new concerns or exposures.

I'm dealing with a constant itching and burning sensation between my legs, especially around my testis and anus. It's been going on for a couple of months now. I've tried a few things like Quard cream, surfazsn, and even consulted a doctor who suggested Ritch cream and levoctrizen, but nothing has helped. I also visited AIIMS Jodhpur where they recommended candid b, Fluconazole tablets, and powder, yet I still haven't found any relief. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I recommend trying a combination of Clotrimazole cream (such as Candid-B) for local application twice a day, Fluconazole tablet 150mg once a day for 7 days, and Fluconazole powder for dusting in the affected areas. This combination can help treat fungal infections effectively. Make sure to follow the prescribed dosage and duration for optimal results

I noticed my hairline is receding more on the right side near my temple compared to the left, which is still thick. There's some thinning starting in the right frontal area too. Would a hairline reduction surgery work for me? Is it a permanent solution, and is it available in India?

Hair can often recede more quickly or noticeably on one side. This is normally because hair follicles don't always progress at the exact same speeds or because genetics mean you are more likely to develop a receding hairline that looks a little uneven
