Can you tell me if there's any risk of getting HIV from a barber who cleans the hair from a straight razor on their hand? I'm a bit worried about if the virus could survive on razors.

I'm a bit worried about my health. I've had a fever for the past three days, and my test results show IgG is negative, IgM is weak positive, and Ns1 antigen is weak positive. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Does this indicate that I might have Dengue? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.

Your test results strongly suggest a possible early dengue infection, given the weak positive NS1 antigen and IgM. Early-stage symptoms and lab tests are critical to confirm and monitor the disease progression. Consult your doctor immediately for appropriate care and monitoring.
