Question 1

I'm 28 and recently had sex with a prostitute, but I'm not sure about her HIV status. After I got an erection, some serum leaked from the condom and got into her vagina, though she cleaned up right away. I'm pretty worried and just wondering if there's any risk of HIV transmission from this situation?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I've been taking Hetrazan 100 for three days and noticed that my lymph nodes are swollen. Could this be a side effect of the medication, like maybe the diethylcarbamazine in it is causing this? I'm a bit worried about this reaction. What should I do?
