Could I Have Been Exposed to HIV?
You can be sure you don't have a particular disease since the results were negative. Sometimes, the virus may take a couple of weeks to become detectable in the tests. Fever, fatigue, and the swelling of lymph nodes are indeed some of the possible symptoms of HIV. In any case, these symptoms may result from other ailments. If you're concerned, it's always safer to keep taking regular tests.

How to improve male fertility and sexual health?
Swelling around testicles (hydrocele) makes you feel uneasy. It's not painful, though. Struggling with erections, infertility, and hormones can affect sperm quality, and sexual function. Ayurveda uses Ashwagandha to boost sperm count, and libido naturally. But see a sexologist first for proper diagnosis, and effective treatment.

Do I need 2 morning-after pills?
Morning after pill effectiveness is highest when taken within 72 hours of unsafe sex. After that time period, it may not work. For the second instance of unsafe sex, get another morning after pill. Don't rely on protection from the previous pill. Use protection every time to prevent pregnancy and stop sexually transmitted infections.

Potential Pregnancy Risk After Condom Slip
The chances of pregnancy are pretty low. Plan B works by disrupting ovulation temporarily. So if your period is slightly late after taking it, that's normal. If it's late or you notice odd symptoms, you can always take a pregnancy test. Try not to stress too much.

Why Do I Experience Penis Pain After Masturbation Delay?
