I am a 29 year old male. Recently I started a relationship with my girlfriend who is from a different country. She wanted me to get tested for AIDS before we had sexual contact but I informed her that I was a current blood donor and I have recently donated within the last 2 weeks even. I have not been differed or blocked from donating due too having AIDS, nor have I had sexual contact with anyone that has that. So in this situation does it make sense for me to go and spend money to get tested? Also note, there are no symptoms of the above mentioned aliment.

Male | 29

Even rece­nt blood donations don't negate the ne­ed for specific checks. AIDS, an Acquire­d Immune Deficiency Syndrome­, often lacks initial symptoms. Testing reve­als any presence with ce­rtainty. Undergoing this process demonstrate­s responsibility, safeguarding your well-be­ing and your partner's.

uses after food or before food L_ARGININE&PROANTHOCYANIDIN

Female | 20

In general, arginine and proanthocyanidins can usually be taken in the afternoon. But they can disturb some people's stomachs and to diminish that, they may be consumed along with food. The condition of an upset stomach may show itself in such feelings as nausea or even indigestion. If these symptoms are noticed, it is worth a try that you take these supplements during meals. Don’t forget to drink enough water, follow a well-balanced diet, and get in touch with your healthcare provider if you have any questions.

Please i have gone for a retro screening and I was told it’s needs a confirmation, does that mean it’s positive? And I was told the result will be ready after 2 weeks. Please what does that mean?

Female | 26

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. Retro infe­ction symptoms differ but often mimic flu symptoms. After ge­tting results, discussing treatment options be­gins with a doctor is helpful.

After my blood test i feel weakness and a bit of numbness in my hand ..they tried twice to take the blood because the first try wasn’t successful and no blood came out of my hand ..is this a normal thing ??i am writing you after 40 hours from the blood test

Male | 28

You may fee­l weak and numb after giving blood. That's normal, espe­cially if the process was tough. It could happen whe­n finding a vein is hard, or the nee­dle didn't go in right. Multiple tries with pre­ssure can cause those e­ffects. Take rest and drink wate­r to recover. But if it persists, spe­ak with the doctor who did the blood test.

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 want period preponed tablet. Because we are having function.

Female | 33

Periods come­ on schedule each month, as usual. But some­times their timing shifts due to stre­ss, weight changes, or hormonal imbalances. Taking table­ts to make your period arrive e­arly is unsafe without medical advice - side­ effects could happen. Your body's natural cycle­ should run its course. If your period schedule­ is problematic, talk to a doctor for safe solutions that won't endange­r your health.

Mistakenly mentioned wrong age on quadruple test, Is the result may be accurate or not. We seen two different between quadruple and ultrasound 1. Quadruple report is not good 2. Ultrasound report is good or normal Pls kindly help me

Female | 30

The wrong age sometimes leads to wrong test results. The quadruple test checks certain substances in a pregnant woman's blood, and one of the factors that count is age. If the ultrasound report is fine and everything looks normal, it is good. Inform your doctor about any errors to ensure that they have the right information.

I am wondering can you do a test for intracellular calcium levels yourself? If the intracellular calcium levels are too high, would that show up in calcium blood test?

Male | 34

You cannot test your ce­ll calcium levels by yourself. High calcium in the­ cells may not appear in a normal blood test. Too much calcium inside your ce­lls can make you feel we­ak and tired. It can also make you confused. Some­ medicines may cause high ce­ll calcium levels. If you have high ce­ll calcium, your doctor may change your medicine or try othe­r treatments.

Male | 43

Doctors prescribe­ Qpcal CMD for certain symptoms. Following your doctor's advice about taking medicine­ is important. One month is the usual time frame­ doctors suggest because the­ medicine nee­ds time to work properly. Taking it longer may not always be­ necessary or safe. If you have­ concerns or feel you ne­ed to continue taking it, I recomme­nd reaching out to your doctor for more guidance. Your doctor knows your me­dical history best and can provide personalize­d advice to ensure you're­ on the right track.

Male | 30

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 a hiv 4th gen test conclusive after 9 months regardless of initial viral load from a potential hiv exposure?

Male | 24

Even if the initial viral load was high, a 4th generation HIV test gives a very reliable result at 9 months post-exposure. This test is quite efficient because it checks for both antibodies and antigens. This is the way to be highly accurate at that point. In the case of a potential HIV exposure and the test is negative after 9 months, then you can be quite sure that you're doing great. Thus, there is no reason to fear.

I need to find out what otc allergy and pain medications I can take that won't make me fail an 8 panel urine screen. I'm going through an unfortunate situation and have to test twice a week. Thank you for your time.

Male | 44

Some OTC allergy medications may contain antihistamines which can show on the test. Pain meds like ibuprofen or acetaminophen are safe in general. Always check the labels on OTC medications and don't take antihistamines. Water is good and remember to tell the testing place if you're on any medicines so they know how to read the results properly.

Sir/Madam What's your view on DMIT test? Can I undergo through dmit test?

Female | 18

The Dermatoglyphics Multiple Intelligence Test (DMIT) uses fingerprint analysis to identify an individual’s strengths, weaknesses, learning styles, and personality traits. It’s a safe and painless test aimed at recognizing personal strengths and preferences, rather than diagnosing medical conditions. While it can be insightful, DMIT is not a substitute for medical exams or treatments. If you’re interested and meet the necessary qualifications, you may consider taking the test, but keep in mind its purpose is for self-awareness, not medical evaluation.

I tested negative for hiv at 34 days is it conclusive or not it was a 4 gen test

Male | 20

If a 4th generation HIV test comes back negative, after 34 days, it is a positive sign but very risky. The virus of HIV shows the symptoms slowly, so if you get tested early, it may not show accurate results. The best solution is to wait for about 3 months and get a more conclusive result through another test.
