What should I do about HIV inconclusive test?
I am 38 years and married. In October, last year I went to donate blood but was told one of the test is positive for HIV. I was asked to retest after months. I did and it is still same inconclusive result. What should I do?

The fact that your test was inconclusive implies that it's still not clear if you are HIV positive or not. Regarding the symptoms of HIV, they are similar to fever, tiredness, and weight loss. More likely, bringing about can be unsafe sex or sharing needles. Therefore, you must see a doctor

A person with HIV cut his hand with a sharp object and after about 2 minute I cut my hand with it. Can I get HIV? it's just scratched with little blood?
Female | 34
A sharp object with blood from someone with HIV has a small chance of transmitting HIV if it cuts you. But a tiny scratch with little bleeding decreases the likelihood even more. The risk is extremely low! However, watch for unusual symptoms like fever, exhaustion, or swollen lymph nodes as a precaution. If anything seems off, reach out to a doctor without delay.

Platelet count noly. 5000
Male | 9
A platelet count of 5000 is very low. Platelets are small UCS in your blood that support the process of transporting blood to your body. When your count is low you could experience symptoms such as easy bleeding, a lot of bruises, or have nosebleeds. Low platelets can be a side effect of several medicines, infections, or diseases. To tackle the problem, doctors may either prescribe medication or transfuse safe platelets.

Male | 31
If you have a morphology level of 3, it may mean that there is a slight imbalance in your body. This could lead to symptoms such as feeling tired and having difficulty concentrating. Some common reasons for this are an inadequate diet, lack of physical activity, or stress. You can address these issues by eating well-balanced meals regularly, engaging in regular physical exercise, and employing stress-relieving techniques like deep breathing or meditation.

Female | 54
This condition can cause symptoms like fatigue, weakness, bruising easily, and frequent infections. The main cause is genetic alterations in the blood cells.

I am 46 years old . In annual health check up in urine protine is traced & pus cell count found 18-20 . In complete blood picture (CBP) ,Eosinophils count and Absolute Eosinophil count is zero . In Lipid Profile HDL Cholesterol result is 37 is it serious or needs to consult to doctor
Female | 46
Finding protein and pus cells in your urine could mean an infection or kidney problem. Zero Eosinophils? That might show you're not responding well to certain allergies. And low HDL cholesterol puts you at higher risk for heart disease. It's smart to talk to a doctor about these results. They can take a closer look and tell you what to do next.

I am 23 year old female.. I have continuous bruise on my leg and arm without hitting last 3 year.. I didn't eat any medicine.. so what should I do now?
Female | 23
An occurrence of bruising without any previous history of trauma or injury is a condition that needs attention. You are doing right not to take medicines right away. Bruising without an obvious cause could be due to low platelet count, clotting disorders, or Vitamin deficiencies. The optimal way to find out is through an in-person appointment with a specialist who will draw blood in a lab to diagnose the disease.

Female | 59
Your mom's high white blood cell count shows there could be an infection. After her hernia surgery, you'll want to tackle that. Doctors usually suggest a blood culture test to pinpoint the infection source. High WBC can bring fever, fatigue, and discomfort. Treating the infection should lower her WBC count. Make certain she finishes all her antibiotics as prescribed to help get that WBC in check before her procedure.

I have test creatine Its having less than 0.4 please suggest me anything required
Female | Srilekha
It's good that creatinine levels are below 0.4. Creatinine is a waste product that your kidneys filter out of your blood. If it's too high, it can mean your kidneys aren't working well. Low creatinine levels can happen if someone has less muscle mass or is malnourished. Make sure you have a balanced diet and avoid a diet high in protein, also, be careful so as not to get dehydrated.

Your WBC count is slightly low at 3.73; RBC is normal at 4.57. NEU is also lower at 1.78. Low WBC suggests weaker immunity, making infections more likely. Have nutritious meals, ample sleep, stay hydrated. If unwell, see a doctor for examination and guidance.

Female | 29
High ESR is a sign of inflammation or the presence of an infection, but it doesn’t always mean that it will be passed on to your baby through breastfeeding. In the majority of cases, infections can't be transmitted by the mothers through breast milk. It is very important that you observe your symptoms, for instance, fever or any unusual weariness, and seek advice from your health provider for specific instructions and treatment options.

My patlet -154000 MPV -14.2 Is it ok
Male | 39
A platelet count below 150,000 is considered low. Platelets help the blood clot properly. Low levels can cause bruising easily, bleeding, or tiny red spots called petechiae. An MPV of 14.2 is slightly below normal too. This could happen due to infections, medications, or medical issues. It's crucial to talk to your doctor about these results. They'll check further and recommend the right treatment.
