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.

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.

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.

Is 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol is normal

Male | 37

When you have 3.5 mmol/l cholesterol, that is okay. Cholesterol is like fat in your blood. If your cholesterol is high, there are usually no signs. An unhealthy diet, not doing enough exercise, and a family history can cause this condition. To stay healthy with it being normal eat well and exercise regularly also if necessary take some drugs from the doctor.

I am 22 years old and having normal diet frequently .But i don't see my muscle mass is increasing. It's like khana kha raha hui par pata nhi kaha ja raha hai. (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.

Being tired all the time, getting sick a lot, night sweats, and daily headaches can be hard to deal with. These signs might be caused by different things such as infections, hormonal imbalances, or other medical problems. You need to see a doctor who will be able to find out what is wrong and give you the right treatment so that you can start feeling better.

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.
