Possible HIV Transmission through Cut Touch?
Hello, I had a cut on my hand and another person's hand touched my wound. I saw the cut on his hand too, but I didn't feel any moisture after touch. Is it possible for HIV to be transmitted in this way?
General Physician
Answered on 6th Aug '24
HIV spreads mainly from unprotected sex, needles, or transfusions. Getting it through touching is very rare. If there was no blood or fluid, the chances are tiny. Symptoms like fever, tiredness, swollen glands may occur. But talk to a doctor if you're concerned. They can ease your worries and maybe test you.

Rixol syrup এবং mebel ds tablet একসাথে খেলে কি প্রবলেম হবে?
Male | 18
There is a potential drug interaction between Rixol syrup and Mebel DS tablet when these two are administered together. It occasionally gives rise to symptoms such as discomfort of the stomach, nausea, and dizziness. It is best not to use them at the same time if this is not advised by a doctor. In the case when you notice any strange side effects after taking both of them, you should immediately stop and contact your physician for directions.

I was bitten by a dog an year ago. I visited the doctor and he said it isn't dangerous and I should get 5 injections. But I only got the 4 of them, well I wasn't very worried about it because I thought It is okay but a few days ago when I shared this story with my fellows. They started to give me weird thoughts like you should've gotten all the injections. Its going to kill you etc and now I am starting to get really worries. Well, should I consult the doctor again and get the last injection or what should I do can you please give me any advive
Female | 17
Dog bites can introduce harmful bacteria. All recommended injections after a bite are crucial. They prevent potential infections. Missing the last dose raises risk for later infection development. Your consultation and final injection ensure health. Consult your doctor and complete the process.

Hello. I want to ask about the risks of taking a free blood glucose test in a health fair. How high is the risk of transmitting a disease from it? Thank you.
Other | 15
The chance of carrying a disease from a free blood sugar test taken at a health fair in most cases is small. However, it is of utmost importance that hygiene and sterilization be observed in the testing process. If you have any concerns about symptoms after a test or, in the future, visit an endocrinologist for guidance and treatment.

Cough less than 2 weeks. Loss of appetite as well
Female | 35
Two weeks of coughing and loss of appetite may be due to a variety of causes, such as respiratory illnesses, reflux of acid into the esophagus, or inflammatory problems. Calling a general practitioner or pulmonologist will be much better than self-medication.

How long will 3 mg melatonin keep me asleep
Female | 23
melatonin should be seen as facilitating sleep rather than as an inducing sleep medication. The result is not the same for everyone who is using 3 mg of melatonin, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay asleep after taking the dosage. For sleep-related diseases, always consult a sleep specialist.

Female | 37
Being tired and having so little energy can be your body still weakly getting over the chronic food poisoning. A lack of B12, D3, and iron is also the reason for drowsiness. Don't forget to eat healthy, drink enough water, and keep on with your yoga and meditation. Be patient, as healing is a lengthy process. Stress prevention is a significant point for your health.

Mujhe 2 saal pahele vaccinated dog ne kata tha aur maine vaccination nhi karwaya tha toh kya mujhe koi problem ho sakti hai
Female | 16
If bitten by a dog, get medical attention right away. Rabies is an acute syndrome of fatality and cannot be treated after symptoms appear. The vaccine is very effective but only if it was given before the appearance of symptoms. If you have been bitten by a dog, contact an appropriate medical specialist as soon as possible.

Is there a reason to worry? Thanks!

Test results suggest that your 1.1-year-old baby has viral or bacterial infection, which is still going on. Probably, you should see a pediatrician ASAP and bring the results of the test along with you. They will show you the right way of treatment. Don't put off seeking medical care too much.
