It is good that your ELISA test results at 42 days are negative, and your partner also tested negative at 22 days. Since you have protected sex, the risk of HIV transmission is very low. However, for your peace of mind, you should follow up with your doctor. Consulting a specialist in infectious diseases can help address your anxiety and provide further reassurance.

I. T. P. Prblm in one year
Male | 9
I.T.P. stands for Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura. This can occur when your immune system mistakenly attacks the blood platelets your body needs to stop the bleeding. Symptoms include easy bruising, tiny red dots on the skin, and gum bleeding. Treatment may include medications or, in more severe cases, procedures to increase the number of platelets. Don't forget to visit a hematologist for the right treatment.

Hi doctor..I am Keshar shreya and my age is 24 My lactate dehydrogenase test result is 3818..what must be the reason
Female | 24
Monitoring your lactate dehydrogenase levels shows care for health. An elevated LDH value, like 3818, signals potential issues. This might involve muscles, liver, or heart. Tiredness, muscle aches, breathing difficulties - these could arise. The wise step is to consult a doctor. They'll conduct further assessments, pinpointing the root cause.

I've been sick for months , my white blood cell and t cells are abnormal but primary not doing anything about it
Male | 51
Your blood tests showed weird white cells and T cells. Those cells fight germs. So weird counts may mean your immune system isn't working right. Being tired, sick often, and losing weight for no reason - those could be signs too. Visit a hematologist to get proper treatment.

CRP (C Reactive Protein) Quantitative, Serum-8.6 HsCRP High Sensitivity CRP -7.88 This is my report please explain me what is this
Female | 45
The tests show you have a bit higher CRP level, meaning some inflammation in your body. Infections, chronic issues, or stress can cause it. The high sensitivity CRP test detects lower inflammation levels better. It's important to find the cause with your doctor and make a plan. Rest well, eat healthy foods, and try to reduce stress to help lower inflammation.

You feel worried about having HIV even with a negative test. Our bodies sometimes show symptoms like HIV without actually having it.

Female | 28
Looking at the symptoms you've given, you are likely going through a urinary tract infection (UTI) and anemia. If you have a UTI, you may experience mild fever and body pain. Anemia can cause muscle weakness, hair loss, weight loss, and fatigue. To resolve these problems, you should drink plenty of water, eat iron-rich foods like spinach and beans, and rest enough. Talk to a urologist about the correct diagnosis and treatment.

I am loosing weight continuously and getting slim like anaemia patients skin is so dull and sagging and I feel dizzy sometimes, get tired easily can't sit longer because my blood cells stops working so I have to move every moment
Female | 23
Anemia results from a deficient number of healthy red blood cells in the bloodstream. Low red blood cells mean asthma, dizziness, and quick weight loss. Your skin can also become pale and saggy. More spreadsheets with foods high in iron such as spinach and beans are advisable. Your doctor can also give you iron pills to increase the number of red blood cells.

Dear Madam/Sir My Mother aged 59 years old is having Hernia of 2mm.. Doctor recommended for surgery but WBC Count is 16000+. How to control WBC & to Control WBC Which test is recommended?
Female | 59
Your mom's high white blood cell count shows there could be an infection. After her hernia surgery, you'll want to tackle that. Doctors usually suggest a blood culture test to pinpoint the infection source. High WBC can bring fever, fatigue, and discomfort. Treating the infection should lower her WBC count. Make certain she finishes all her antibiotics as prescribed to help get that WBC in check before her procedure.

To stay healthy with it being normal eat well and exercise regularly also if necessary take some drugs from the doctor.

(1)Can u suggest me better diet plan in terms of increasing my muscle density. (2) Can i take whey protein powder as form of daily protein intake without doing gym ?
Male | 22
To do this, eat foods such as chicken, fish, eggs, and beans for protein. Also, have a lot of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains for your health in general. It is alright to take whey protein powder as a supplement, but it would be most effective if used with regular exercises that build muscles. Always keep in mind that working out is essential for muscle development!

I'm an 18 year old female who thinks she may have Raynaud's? These are my symptoms. ### Raynaud’s Phenomenon: - **Fingers and Hands**: - Frequent color changes in response to cold, stress, or pressure: fingers turning white/yellow, blue/purple, and red during rewarming. - Numbness, pain, and stiffness, especially in cold water or when exposed to cold air. - Fingernails occasionally turn blue, particularly when nervous. - Fingers often go white under light pressure, but color returns after. - Red, painful, and numb fingers, especially when handling cold objects or after cold exposure. - Hands sometimes go pale/white in cold water, with visible blue veins. When they warm up it can feel tingly and intense heat and sometimes burning and uncomfortableness. - Ridges and a light white color underneath fingernails. - A small cut on your hand is taking longer than usual to heal. But cuts in general too. - **Feet and Toes**: - Feet often turn purple or blue when sitting still for long periods, especially without socks. - Numbness and coldness in feet, particularly when standing still or exposed to cold. - Toes sometimes appear weirdly purple/light blue/gray after cold exposure. - Difficulty standing and walking due to numbness and pain in feet, particularly in cold environments. - **General Cold Sensitivity**: - Need to wear multiple layers and use hot water bottles/heat packs to stay warm, especially at night or when sitting still. - Lips sometimes turn blue or darken when cold, especially during Raynaud’s attacks. - Occasional episodes of feeling cold despite being in a warm environment. - **Pain and Discomfort**: - Discomfort in hands and feet during cold exposure, sometimes making it difficult to perform tasks or move. ### Recent Observations: - **Improvement**: - Hands have been warmer than usual recently, with fewer Raynaud’s attacks. - **Persistent Issues**: - A cut on your hand that is slow to heal, potentially due to reduced blood circulation. - Ongoing need to protect hands and feet from cold to prevent Raynaud’s attacks.
Female | 18
It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.

Is it normal to feel weak and loss of appetite after a week of getting treatment of Bilharzia.
Male | 34
After treatment for Bilharzia, feeling weak and losing appetite is common. Medicines used can cause these side effects. Weakness happens as the body fights infection. Drink lots of water and eat healthy foods, despite no appetite. If symptoms worsen or persist, inform your healthcare provider.

I'm 21 years old women I've a question today i had a CBC 1 blood test and 3 days back i smoked cigarette will my doctor be able to make out by seeing my blood reports that i smoked ?
Female | 21
Cigarette smoking tends to impact the results of CBC blood tests but they don’t directly reveal it. By increasing your white blood cell count, smoking may indicate signs of inflammation or an infection to a physician. Tell truthfully about your smoking habits when asked by healthcare practitioners so that they can provide appropriate treatment for you.

Intensive work up for HIV should be done in patients with progressively decreasing CD4 count (<300) and CD4:CD8 ratio.
Male | 13
Someone's CD4 count below 300 and off-kilter CD4:CD8 ratio signal immune woes, perhaps from HIV. HIV weakens immunity. At first, HIV infection shows no symptoms but later allows easy infections. Early testing and treatment promote health.

One person has a cut on his hand . It was bleeding. I ate food from his hand. If that person is hiv positive. Does it transfer to me??
Female | 48
HIV is primarily transferred through some body fluids like blood. If someone with a cut on their hand eats saliva-containing food, the saliva does not carry enough virus to infect you. Being cautious will make sure to see out for symptoms include flu-like illness and talk to your doctor if you are concerned.
