View allI'm feeling really stressed because for the past five months I've been having this constant feeling of my body being hot to the touch, but all my HIV tests have turned out negative. I've done the p24 test, the Western Blot, and the HIV PCR RNA Quantitative. It's really concerning me because I also feel like I have an internal fever. Could there be something else causing these symptoms or should I be looking into other tests? What steps should I take next?
It's important to seek help and talk to someone about what you're going through. In terms of the fever, if it has been persistent and you're feeling unwell, you may need to consider taking some medication to help reduce the fever. You can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for fever. However, it's crucial to address the underlying issues causing you distress. Please reach out to a mental health professional or counselor for support.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's tested positive for COVID, and hes been feeling unwell for about a week now. We got him tested two days ago, and he had a fever and body aches for three days, but now his symptoms aren't as bad. His CT value in the RTPCR test came back as 16. Does that mean there's a high rate of infection? Is he at greater risk for lung infection with that CT value? Should we be doing any more tests to figure out if the virus load is low or high? I'm just not sure what to do next.
A CT value of 16 indicates a higher viral load, suggesting active infection. While a higher viral load can sometimes be associated with a greater chance of complications like lung involvement, the absence of severe symptoms is a positive sign. Further testing, such as a chest X-ray or CT scan, might be considered to assess lung health, but its essential to monitor his condition closely. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

I accidentally took three allercet 5 mg tablets today instead of just one, having them in the morning, afternoon, and night. Are there any side effects I should be worried about because of this?
Taking 3 Allercet 5 mg tablets in a day instead of the prescribed 1 tablet is generally unlikely to cause severe side effects. However, it may lead to symptoms like drowsiness, dry mouth, or dizziness. If you experience any unusual or severe symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for further advice.
