So, I'm 17 and curious if it's okay for me to take beard growth pills with Biotin? They say it's for 18 and older, but I just want to be sure about it.

I'm dealing with some pretty stubborn fungal infections and was wondering if using Safi could actually help with that. I've heard mixed things, and now I'm a bit unsure. Can you tell me how effective it is for fungal infections?

I've been really anxious about something and could use some advice. I had protected sex with a prostitute, and honestly, I'm feeling pretty guilty and worried about it. I'm trying to understand my risk of getting HIV from this. I got an Elisa test done 92 days after the encounter, and the result came back negative with a reading of 0.08. Should I consider this result to be final?

The ELISA test result after 92 days with a negative result and a value of 0.08 is likely conclusive. _HIV Testing Window Period:_ 1. _Most HIV tests_: Detect HIV antibodies within 23-90 days after exposure. 2. _ELISA test_: Typically detects HIV antibodies within 90 days. _Your Test Result:_ 1. _Negative result_: Indicates no detectable HIV antibodies. 2. _Value of 0.08_: This is below the threshold for a positive result. _Conclusive Result:_ Based on the test result and the time frame, it's likely that you don't have HIV. However, to be absolutely sure, consider: 1. _Repeat testing_: After 6 months to confirm the result. 2. _Discuss with a healthcare professional_: Share your concerns and test results with a doctor. Remember, it's essential to practice safe sex and get regular check-ups to maintain your sexual health.

I've noticed that the roots of my frontal hair seem really short and thin, almost like there's no root at all, but the rest of my hair has strong, long roots. I'm really worried about this difference. What could be causing it, and how can I improve the condition of the roots in the front?
