Should I Retest for HIV or Take PrEP After Syphilis Treatment?

I tested positive for syphillis and begative for HIV. I’ve treated syphillis a week ago. i would want to know if I should retest for HIV or take PRePs for HIV.

Answered on 23rd May '24

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 take ebastine and hyphoral (ketacolozole) together 2times is it dangerous

Male | 20

Combining ebastine and hyphoral (ketoconazole) twice can be risky. The sum of those two drugs might lead to dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, and stomach issues. Refrain from using them together as it can be dangerous. You should consult a general physician before taking any new medications. You should adhere to the instructions of your medications and you should also inform your doctor about all the drugs you are taking.

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.

It is essential to remember that the bulk of height usually depends on genes and can be slightly affected by eating habits and physical activities. On the other hand, if you have insecurities in regards to your height, it is wise to see an endocrinologist who can assess and give you a good advice.

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.

For Ramadan, diet must be sufficient nutritious and well-balanced. However, fasting does not require any special vitamins or supplements, and the importance lies in eating diverse types of food such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. But if you have any present medical conditions, it is crucial to seek out the advice of your primary care physician.

Had fever on Friday.. Fever Went off by Saturday and not able to eat properly..

Male | 50

It seems you had a minor infection that caused the fever. Fever is your body’s way of fighting germs, so it's good that it went away on Saturday. However, the infection might be affecting your appetite. Drink plenty of fluids and try light meals like soup, biscuits, or fruits. If the issue continues or you feel worse, see a doctor promptly.
