the Falcigo-SP Kit is a single-day treatment. The contents of the kit (usually 3 tablets) are taken together as a single dose with water after a meal.Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and Do not consume alcohol while on antimalarial medication.

Question

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?

Question

I recently had a brief encounter with a sex worker and made sure to use a condom, but now Im really anxious about the risk of getting HIV. Ive been reading up a lot online, and to be honest, it's making me pretty scared and down. The thing is, the encounter was really short, like about 2 minutes, and I didnt feel much. While removing the condom, I think I mightve done it wrong by pulling it from the base up. When I checked afterward, my penis was dry and there wasnt any noticeable liquid on my hands. Im worriedcould I still be at risk for HIV?

Question

I've got a question about my recent HIV test. I took an HIV 1 RNA PCR Quantitative test about six weeks after potential exposure, and the result was "target not detected." Is this result completely conclusive, or should I think about getting tested again later? I'm a little worried and want to be sure everything's okay.
