Hello, I have deficiencies in both vitamin D and B12. When I take supplements, my levels improve, but if I stop the medicine even for a month, the levels drop again. Why does this happen, and what can I do to maintain normal vitamin levels?

Hi Sir, I want to know how long it takes for HIV antibodies to develop. I got tested 2 years ago, and the result was negative, but some doctors say it can take up to 10 years. I am experiencing symptoms like swollen lymph nodes, oral thrush, tiredness, kapha, and nail line changes. Based on my report, is it conclusive, or should I take a retest?
