Question

I'm really worried about my HIV exposure. I took an HIV test at both 3 months and 7 months post-exposure, and both results were negative. Are these results definitive, or is there a possibility I should get tested again? I would really appreciate your guidance.

Question

Hey, so about 12 weeks ago, I had a lip kiss with a prostitute, and now I'm really worried about HIV. I'm thinking about getting tested and I've heard about the combo test and maybe a Western Blot or an HIV PCR RNA test. Can you tell me which is the best option for someone in my situation?

Question

I'm currently on ATT treatment DOT and have had my lymph node aspirated twice. The culture and DSTMTB indicated sensitivity to all first and second-line drugs. However, the lymph node swells up again after the pus is taken out. Is this normal? I've attached a screenshot for reference. I'm taking my medication under DOT, and I have a history of TBM. For the past year and three months, I've been under treatment, and just last month, I noticed the TB lymph node. Could you provide some advice or insight into this?

Question

I'm dealing with Malaria Plasmodium Falciparum again, the second time in just two months, and now it's turning into a bit of a malaria problem. On top of that, I've got Salmonella Typhoid with OD 1320, Salm. Typh. OA 1160, Salm. Ptyph. OB 1160, and Salm. Typh. HD 1160. My lymphocyte count is really low, at just 3.0, with the reference being 2040. Is taking Ciproflaxin 500mg twice a day for 7 days going to be enough for this? I live in Nigeria, so this is quite a concern for me. Would really appreciate any advice.
