I had a massage yesterday that involved body-to-body contact, but no kissing or penetration. I did insert my finger in her vagina a couple of times, but my fingers had no wounds. She gave me a handjob afterwards. Now I'm super anxious about whether my penis might have accidentally touched her vagina, even though I didn't notice any fluids. To ease my worries, I got her tested today for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis using the HIV RNA PCR, p24 AgAb CMA method, and everything came back negative. She also said she's never had penetrative sex. Can I be sure I'm safe? I'm really stressing out and I don't think I'll go to a massage parlor again. Would appreciate any advice.

Based on the tests conducted, which returned negative results for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis, and considering the massage therapist's confession of being clean and not having penetrative sex, the risk of transmission appears low; however, to completely alleviate concerns, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice and possibly undergoing additional testing after the recommended window period for maximum reassurance.

I'm looking at my husband's blood test results, and I'm a bit worried. It says he's rapid positive for Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen. The Antibodies Panel shows IGG as negative but IGM is weakly positive. Plus, his platelet count is quite low, showing 26.0 when the reference range is 150-410. Does this mean he definitely has Dengue? What should we do next?

you take medication.
