Question 1

So, I've been with my wife for two years now, and we got married in May 2015. We started off using condoms, but for the past few months, at least three I think, we've stopped using them. Both of us got tested for HIV and the results were non-reactive, which was done on May 23, 2016. This was after at least three months of having unprotected sex. The test we did is the ECLIA Cobas e411 Roche. Do you think there's any need to redo the HIV test, or is it fine as long as we're both staying loyal to each other? Is the test we have already sufficient?

Accepted Answer

ideally not needed unless you have concern.get yourself tested once in a year

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been feeling this odd sensation and burning in her left leg, specifically between the knee and thigh. I was doing some reading online and it seems really similar to something called Meralgia Paraesthetica. Thi...

Accepted Answer

The symptoms your mother describes could indeed align with **Meralgia Paresthetica**, which occurs due to compression of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve. I recommend consulting a **neurologist** for a detailed evaluation. In the meantime, measures like avoiding tight clothing, maintaining a healthy weight, and physical therapy may help alleviate symptoms.

Question 5

I'm really concerned about my wife's health. She recently had an ESR test, and her result came back as 40mmhr. Could this indicate that she might have a TB infection? Also, I'm curious to know what the normal ESR range is when there's an infection in...

Accepted Answer

An ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) result of 40mmhr is elevated, indicating inflammation or infection, but it's not specific to TB; ESR can be elevated in various conditions, including infections, autoimmune disorders, and cancers; in infections, ESR can range from 20-100 mmhr, but a diagnosis of TB requires additional tests, such as chest X-ray, sputum smear, or PCR; consult a doctor to interpret the results and determine the next course of action.

Question 6

I'm really concerned because my sgpt, sgot, and ggt numbers are pretty high and above normal levels. Plus, I noticed my leukocyte count is also elevated. Can you help me understand what this might mean?

Accepted Answer

Having elevated SGPT, SGOT, and GGT levels along with increased leukocyte count can indicate liver and inflammatory issues. To address this, you can consider taking medications like Ursodeoxycholic acid to support liver function and reduce liver enzyme levels. Additionally, Ibuprofen can help with inflammation and leukocyte count. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
