General Physician
Answered on 26th July '24
HIV is a virus impacting the immune system. Fatigue, weight loss, and frequent illnesses may occur. HIV spreads via blood, intimacy, or childbirth. Getting tested, using protection for intimacy, and clean needles prevent HIV. With proper medication and healthcare guidance, individuals with HIV can manage the virus effectively while maintaining good health. When discussing ICTC HIV, preventing and managing the Human Immunodeficiency Virus is the focus. This virus weakens the immune system, potentially causing flu-like symptoms. Regular testing, precautions during sexual contact, and avoiding shared needles are crucial preventive measures.

Hello. I'm 18, Male, 169cm, 59kg. Today I saw and felt this small lump right on my sternum. I don't smoke nor drink and don't have any current medications. It doesn't hurt and it's actually hard, just like any bone, you can't move it or anything. What might it be? cause I've been pretty scared and worried.

A small, hard lump on the sternum could be a normal bone anatomy, benign or malignant tumors, cysts, lipomas, or inflammation of the chest cartilage. Consult with a specialist for an accurate diagnosis and personalized guidance. They can perform an examination and order additional tests if needed.
