Do I need more HIV tests post exposure?
Hi, I did Antibody hiv 1& 2 Elisa test after 30 days of exposure. Then once again I did Insti antibody 1&2 screening tes after 45 days. In both test my result was negative. Should I do further test for my assurance...please kindly suggest me

Answered on 7th June '24
The tests you took at 30 and 45 days are generally accurate, but for complete peace of mind, it's best to get tested again 3 months after being exposed. This is because it takes time for the immune system to make enough antibodies that can be detected by the test. In the meantime, if you start feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, rash, sore throat or tiredness, please tell your doctor.

My uric acid test report 5.9 please tell me ok not ok
Male | 29
The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.

Female | 28
Looking at the symptoms you've given, you are likely going through a urinary tract infection (UTI) and anemia. If you have a UTI, you may experience mild fever and body pain. Anemia can cause muscle weakness, hair loss, weight loss, and fatigue. To resolve these problems, you should drink plenty of water, eat iron-rich foods like spinach and beans, and rest enough. Talk to a urologist about the correct diagnosis and treatment.

Many factors can cause nosebleeds. Dry air and allergies may play a role. High blood pressure too. Yet, dizziness, and fatigue raise concerns.

Male | Kanimuthu
It's a relief to know that the CT scan of your chest shows no remarkable risk. Blood clots can root from different causes like immobility, injury, or some illnesses. A few of the frequently occurring symptoms can include chest pain or dyspnea; however, thanks to your statement, there is no such risk, which undoubtedly comes as a piece of good news. I suggest that you strictly follow the instructions of your doctor, do the exercises recommended to you in your physical therapy, and you may also apply proper hydration. Do not forget to always consult your physician if you have any issues.

Male | 30
RDW-CV is a measure of the variation in the size of red blood cells. An increase in RDW-CV can be a sign of anemia or nutritional deficiencies. Fatigue, weakness, and paleness may be among the symptoms. To tackle this, ensure a balanced diet that is rich in iron and nutrients. Further assessment by a doctor may be helpful.

Your vitamin B12 level is only 61. This is below the range it should be. Insufficient B12 can affect tiredness, weakness, and pain of nerves. The doctor may recommend that you take supplements to improve your levels of vitamin B12. Tell your doctor about your preferences and expected results. Then together you can come up with the best plan for you.

Male | 27
It is good that your ELISA test results at 42 days are negative, and your partner also tested negative at 22 days. Since you have protected sex, the risk of HIV transmission is very low. However, for your peace of mind, you should follow up with your doctor. Consulting a specialist in infectious diseases can help address your anxiety and provide further reassurance.

Kids often catch colds. Having blood in the stool is concerning. Many things can make this happen. Some causes are easy to fix. But others need medical care. One rare cause of sickness is leukemia. This cancer hurts blood cells. Signs are tiredness, bruises, and infections. But not all kids with leukemia have these signs. The best step is seeing an oncologist. They will check for what is making your child sick. If there is a sickness, they know how to treat it right.

It's great to know that your anti-HIV value is 0.229. This shows that you have a certain amount of HIV antibodies that your body has made but not many. It could mean you were infected recently or just exposed without getting sick. Keep an eye on it with frequent testing.

Female | 42
It seems like you might be going through some changes in your menstrual cycle after a period of amenorrhea. Little bleeding might be caused by several factors, like hormonal shifts or tension. Other symptoms such as pain or the flow getting way out of line, should also be closely monitored. In addition to covering the potential food and stress management approaches that can assist in overall health, the first and foremost step is to see an expert who has expertise in this area. On the other hand, it's highly advisable to book an appointment with a healthcare provider who will analyze the problem.

What if iron readings are normal except % transferring saturation - 12% and result shows disease Ferritin transferring TIBC Iron. Hb - 11 for female
Female | 32
This may suggest that your body lacks iron. With insufficient iron levels, tiredness, weakness, and dizziness may be felt. In women, it could lead to low hemoglobin levels (Hb - 11) thus giving rise to anemia. You are, therefore, required to include foods high in iron such as red meat, beans, and leafy greens in your diet to enhance your iron levels. Further advice may necessitate taking iron supplements based on the orders made by your doctor. Also, there should be regular check-ups so that suitable directions are provided and tracking done.

Based on her symptoms—fever, vomiting, leg pain, and a low white blood cell count—she likely has an infection. This can cause significant discomfort. Antibiotics may help her immune system fight the infection. Make sure she stays hydrated and gets plenty of rest to recover faster.
