I recently had protected intercourse with a massage therapist I didn't know, and it only lasted about 5 minutes. I'm really concerned and wondering how good condoms are at keeping you safe from HIV, especially since the condom didnt break the whole time. Could you shed some light on this?

My mom has had this swollen node on her neck for about 4 months now. It didnt hurt or anything at first, but it started to get bigger. After running through a bunch of tests like FNAC, turns out its a TB gland. We've been on TB meds for like 3 months now, but she's started feeling pain and theres pus building up inside the node. It hasn't gone down at all. What should we do?

increase the dosage take it according to her weight
