I'm really worried and could use some advice. It's been 9 months since I had unprotected sex, and I've been tested for HIV three times, each time after 3 months. All the results have come back as "Non-Reactive." What exactly does that mean? I'm just so anxious thinking I might have HIV or AIDS. Could you please help me understand this situation?
It's okay to be concerned, but your non-reactive HIV test results at 3, 6, and 9 months are reassuring, as they indicate you are not infected with HIV. If you still feel anxious, consult a doctor for further guidance or counseling to ease your worries.

I'm really worried about this breast lump that started during my pregnancy. It turned into sinuses, and the shape changed too. They did an ultrasound and found acute chronic mastitis, but even after antibiotics, nothing helped. Now they've told me it's breast TB, and I'm on medicine for that. Could this really be tuberculosis, or is there a chance it could be something else? I'm really looking for some clarity here, doc.
if you have any other symptoms like fever , evening rise of temperature and mainly the blood test would have confirmed if it was a tuberculosis
