View allI'm really worried about my situation. I had sex with a girl two years ago, and since then, I've been really cautious about my health. I did an HIV ELISA test two weeks after, a 12-test after 3 months, then again at 5 months and 8 months, and they all came back negative. I also did the HIV1 Ag and HIV 1 & 2 IgG Ab ECLIA, and those were negative too. Just recently, two years later, I took the HIV 1 & 2 Tridot test, and it was negative as well. Should I be concerned, or do you think I need to do any more testing?

I'm really worried about miliary TB treatment options. The infection seems to have spread to my lungs, spine, and even started in my brain. However, the lumbar puncture doesn't show any bacteria, and my sputum test came back negative. CT scan results and my symptoms both indicate miliary TB. I'm really looking for a second opinion on whether this type of TB is treatable. Can you provide some guidance on this?
yes it can be treated
