It’s getting bloodwork for herpes after 12 days too soon

Getting blood work for herpes can be tricky. It might take some time for the virus to show in your blood test results. That is why you should wait a few weeks before testing for herpes. Painful sores, itching, and flu-like symptoms can be signs of herpes. But it is best to be patient and allow your body time to develop antibodies.

Is HIV positive confirmed at once? Or should someone get tested more than once
Female | 50
After HIV testing, the virus sometimes doesn't appear for weeks or months. This means a negative initial test isn't final proof. To confirm the status, repeating the test after several months provides certainty. Signs of HIV include tiredness, losing weight, and frequent illness. Safe sexual practices and routine testing prevent risk.

Male | 29
The symptoms such as flu-like feelings, urinary changes, and skin irritation can arise from various infections but don’t specifically indicate HIV. Your lab results show fluctuations in white blood cell counts that could be due to many factors like recent illnesses or stress. While it’s wise to consider testing for HIV after a potential exposure, the risk varies individually. Please consult a physician for personalized testing and support; they can provide guidance that meets your needs.

Hsv 1+2 igg positive 17.90 index....??
Male | 26
When the test tells you a positive IgG HSV 1+2 of 17.90 the result reveals exposure to the herpes simplex virus. However, this doesn't even indicate the presence of symptoms. Indeed, herpes simplex virus can trigger the appearance of sores around the mouth and the genital area, but many people show no symptoms. If you do have any, antiviral medicines can help control them.

It looks like there is a possibility that your message was misunderstood. In case you suffer from weird symptoms such as tiredness, pain, or discomfort that seems not normal, it may be due to stress, an unbalanced diet, or even infections. It's crucial to follow your body's signals and notice any changes. Therapy through lifestyle changes such as drinking enough water, eating a balanced diet, and doing some relaxation exercises can help you, rather easily. Nonetheless, if the symptoms persist or are worrying, I advise you to make a doctor's appointment and get a complete check-up.

I am 21 years old, my weight is only 34 kg and I have also done all the tests, there is no such symptom came in reports , I want to increase my weight and breast increase, so please suggest me medicine.
Female | 21
You want to get fit. Being too thin can happen if your body uses up food fast or if you do not eat a lot. To gain weight, eat good stuff like fruits, veggies, grains, and protein. Do not skip meals. Eat often. As for breasts, they come in all shapes and sizes for each girl. Pills may not change them much.

Female | 21
Young pups rarely have rabies. But watch for redness, swelling, or pain where it bit. Clean the area with soap and water. Put antibiotic cream on the bites. Keep them clean. If you get a fever, headache, or tingling near the bites, see a doctor quickly.

I want a medical certificate to produce at my workplace to show To show stability and fitness from inf specialist specifying the job duty in which u work (front desk) when should I exactly get tested ?
Male | 25
Three months is generally the wait time before checking if treatment succeeded with a positive TPHA test. But, your doctor's advice takes priority. Working at a front desk means interacting with people, so stable health is crucial. Getting a blood test now would help clarify things.

"Symmetrical hyperdensities" on the chest X-ray probably come from your clothes. Sometimes clothing can appear in X-rays, looking peculiar. It's nothing concerning health-wise. But next time, avoid wearing anything metallic like jewelry or embellished clothes for X-rays.

My hiv test result is .13 and in reference range it is written .9 - 1 is greyzone. Am I positive or negative? I’m confident
Male | 29
Whether it is the case for you or not, the HIV test result is still the same - it is .13 and is in the grey zone of the reference range .9 - 1, which means it is inconclusive. Having this result, however, does not in any way guarantee that you have HIV. Among the symptoms of HIV that may appear are the following: flu, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. The causes have to do with engaging in unprotected sex or sharing needles. A retest will clarify the situation.

Sometimes, needing a retro screening isn't serious. However, a diagnosis requires testing first, so don't stress. Waiting for test results takes time to ensure accuracy.
