When you have already been treated for syphilis then take a retest for HIV after six weeks. But PrEP alone is not enough. You still have to be safe while engaging in sexual intercourse.

I have headache on back side of head and back head is feel heavier.
Male | 17
Headache in the back of the head is caused by TENSION.... Tension headaches are COMMON and not harmful... POOR POSTURE can cause it... DEHYDRATION is another cause... STRESS is also a significant factor... Over-the-counter PAIN RELIEVERS can help... Warm compresses can alleviate discomfort... Practice stress-reducing techniques such as EXERCISE and MEDITATION... Seek medical attention if headache persists...

The normal initial tests and reduced CRP levels indicate progress. However, alternating symptoms suggest a possible viral infection. Consulting your doctor for further assessment could provide clarity.

Your sore throat and pain likely stem from an infection or throat irritation. The medicines help fight infection, reduce pain, and control allergies that worsen throat issues. Complete the full medication course, rest your voice, and drink warm fluids abundantly.

Hey there, a virgo here (one of those people still believing in the value of marriage (only it's delayed to some degree) and what comes with it. This isn't meant as passing judgement but to avoid at times hurtful snarky remarks from DR.'s (unbelievable)) That sounds weird to open with it, however it is a vital info). I have been this past few months under a lot of stress at work, including very late remote computer work at night (until 3, even 5am) and dealing with unpleasant people(oh fun:)), my diet was indeed less leaning into the veggies and fruit. What brings me here seeking your advice? My period is sure taking its time (think it's around 54 days since beginning of last menstruation, so it's considered by now missed I guess.)gravitaain between nconstipatiaiton nto normalal to having this one tiimem momentaraty stomach ahache annd diarreah aiwiwith a miild passing fever). Last month regular blood work showed normal iron and HB levels. However, despite being within normal range the ferritin levels were at the minimum level while transferrin on the maximum level within its range. Had some more acne than usual (occasional small pimples on back of hands (a relatively new phenomenon from past years (with the increased stress and worries), ear, chest back face neck. Nothing too severe not a lot either (not as I used to) because I try and treat it keeping it at bay (but a bit more than usual, also not as usual in their location (nonetheless important). My question is what sort of test should I be asking, what sort of blood test to get to the bottom of it, and what should I do also to not augment stress that does not (!) help the situation? Please I'd appreciate your reply
Female | 38
Based on the symptoms you've described, it's possible that your delayed period and gastrointestinal issues could be related to stress and dietary changes. It's important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. I would recommend scheduling an appointment with a gynecologist to discuss your missed period and any potential hormonal imbalances. Also you need to consult with a gastroenterologist to evaluate your gastrointestinal symptoms. Avoiding stressors as much as possible and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine may also help alleviate your symptoms.

The doctor prescribed me a medicine (megapin) of 500mg but the megapin I got has a label 250/250 mg does that mean the medicine is total 500mg?
Male | 60
When medicine labels show 250/250 mg, it means there are two ingredients, each with 250 mg. One tablet contains 500 mg (250 + 250 = 500 mg). You're getting the correct dose your doctor prescribed. Follow the instructions for how many tablets to take.

Female | 16
Considering your symptoms, you could have a viral infection causing your sore throat and dry cough. But when, after taking the meds, you vomit, you doubt it and stop taking the medicine. You should consult an ENT specialist to start the treatment.
