Two weeks after I had unprotected sex with a guy eight years ago I had potential HIV symptoms (a fever, chills etc) that lasted approximately 72 hours. I thought nothing of this at the time. Two and a half years later, I had sex with an undetectable man, but had no idea about this at the time. I found out a short time later (I think about three weeks later) and got an HIV self-test done (a fingerprick test) and it came back negative. I guess this means I'm HIV negative, seeing as undetectable = untransmissible coupled with the fact that HIV would have shown up on the test two and a half years after potential exposure, so it couldn't be a false negative result? I've had safe sex ever since, but I'm just curious as to what this could be, seeing as I didn't take another test after that due to my use of condoms. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you had an HIV test that came back negative after the potential exposure and it was performed within the appropriate window period, it is likely an accurate result. Its better to get it confirmed with your gynecologist.

"This morning, I woke up to find some blood drops that resembled menstrual blood. However, my last period ended 14 days ago, which has me concerned about the cause of the bleeding. I'm worried that it might be something other than my regular period."
Female | 23
Some individuals may experience a bit of bleeding after the end of the period. This may be due to things like hormonal changes, ovulation, or stress. Nevertheless, if you have a lot of bleeding or are in pain, it is important to see a gynecologist. They can help determine the reason for the bleeding and tell you the best way to deal with it.

I am 25 years old.i had my periods till 3 days and after that i am facing abdominal pain headache feeling of vomiting body pain.i also had an unprotected sex before my periods.
Female | 25
Pain in the belly, migraine, nausea, and soreness in the body are all the signals your body sends you that it's not feeling well. These symptoms might also be a result of unprotected sex you had before the period began. A medical provider can be your guide to help you through the diagnosis of the possible underlying infections and other issues.

Hi, so I had a medical abortion recently (less than 5 weeks pregnant and the transvaginal scan said the embryo couldn’t be visualised yet/ it’s also my first pregnancy). After I was administered 4 pills of Misoprostol vaginally at the hospital, I started bleeding 2 hours later but it was like a regular period (a little heavier than usual and some clots/tissue much later in the day). I’ve been reading stories about intense pain and cramping etc. but haven’t experienced any at all. I took a pain med on the first day expecting a lot of pain but all I felt was some pressure in my abdomen for a few hours and a heating pad helped. It’s been around 5 days since then (proper bleeding for 2-3 days and very light bleeding on the 4th day and spotting on the 5th day). Today I stopped bleeding. Is this normal?
Female | 29
It is quite common to get different experiences in a medical abortion. Some people face severe pain, but others do not. Nevertheless, bleeding and not feeling much pain seems to be not a big deal at the moment. Every person has a different response to the drugs. Please keep an eye on symptoms such as heavy bleeding, severe pain, or high fever and alert your gynecologist in case of any. In addition, keep a low-stress pace, rest well, and fulfil the post-abortion aftercare recommendations you were provided with.

Clear discharge two weeks after the start date of my period and light spotting
Female | 3q
A transparent drip as well as minor bleeding following your menstrual period may occur due to some reasons. It may be as simple as your body discharging old blood or it could also signify hormonal changes or infection. Watch out for such signs and if they don’t stop or instead worsen, then you should see a gynecologist immediately.

I am 24 years old my last period was on 25 April and after that on 3rd june I got brown discharge for two days , am I pregnant?
Female | 24
There are many different reasons why someone may experience brown discharge after their period. It is not necessarily an indication of pregnancy. It could be caused by hormonal changes, stress, or irregularities in the menstrual cycle. Feeling tired all the time, nausea, or tenderness in your breasts can be signs and symptoms that suggest you might be pregnant. To be sure, take a home pregnancy test.

Female | 41
Yes, besides surgery, other treatments for fibroids include medications to manage symptoms like pain and heavy bleeding. Options like hormone therapy or non-invasive procedures like uterine artery embolization may also be considered. It's crucial to consult a gynecologist for personalized advice and treatment.

Mam i have brown discharge for last 3 months before 5 days and after 10 days of period...
Female | 24
Having brown discharge after the monthly time is normal for some people. It may just be old blood coming out. If it is only for a few days before or after the monthly time, it is likely fine. But if it has other things like pain or bad smell, it is best to talk to a gynecologist to be safe.

Female | 23
You say bacterial vaginosis is a vaginal infection you are having. This can be the case after sex sometimes. The symptoms you told me, such as vaginal pain, discomfort, and yellow discharge, are the typical signs of this infection. Bacterial vaginosis is commonly treated with medicines. A gynecologist should give the prescription, so it is important to go to the doctor or clinic for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

I am a 24 year old female . After noticing crusty cheese discharge my labia has been itchy and swollen (stiff) and sticking out . My clitoris also looks swollen . What do I do ?
Female | 24
It looks like a yeast infection, in my opinion. The symptoms are due to a type of bacteria. These bacteria love damp and warm regions such as the vagina. Instead of visiting a professional, you can try over-the-counter antifungals. To ensure that the area is always neat and dry. If the symptoms are still the same, be sure to visit a gynecologist for further guidance.

Hi doctor jus a quick question I have birth in December and is currently breastfeeding is it safe to perm my hair and take metronidazole b500mg tablets
Female | 22
Its not recommended to undergo hair perming or coloring during pregnancy or while breastfeeding as the chemicals used in these treatments can be harmful to the baby. Moreover the safety of metronidazole while breastfeeding is not clear, as the medication can be excreted in breast milk and may cause side effects in the baby.

Ive been experiencing these symptoms for 10 days: dry retching, temperature changes, food and smell sensitivity, craving ice, period delayed 10 days, emotional, glowing, racing heart, smell of fresh refrigerated food turns me sick. What is the most likely cause?
Female | 25
Seems to me like you could be going through signs of pregnancy. Specifically, you might feel an aversion to food and smell and suffer from nausea, dry vomiting, and cravings if you are indeed pregnant. Food aversions and changed taste preferences may also be associated. This is a comprehensive set of this period's symptoms, signs, and feelings. But the most common are missing the period by a day or more, the heart racing, becoming emotional, and sometimes undergoing morning sickness. It should also be noted that such changes as fever and the fastest spreading smell may also be related. So, it's better to take a pregnancy test to be sure and then chat with an obstetrician for professional advice.

Missing period can have several reasons.. Stress, weight changes, or hormonal imbalance may cause it.. If you're sexually active, take a pregnancy test.. If negative, wait for a week, and take it again.. If still negative, call your DOCTOR..

I am 20 years old and I missed my periods I did sex but I checked my pregnancy using preganews kit ani the result it negative means I am not pregnant but why my periods missed
Female | 20
It is quite natural to be afraid when the menstrual cycle stops changing, especially after having sex. A delay in menstruation can result from a large number of factors. Indicatively, these could be stress, hormonal imbalances, increase or decrease of body weight, or physical activities. It’s good that the pregnancy test was negative, which gives us hope. In the interest of keeping the cycles regular, one is encouraged to eat a balanced diet, take control of their stress, and lead a healthy lifestyle. If you experience problems with the menstrual cycle or any other symptoms, make the right decision and get in touch with a gynecologist for an individual treatment plan and help.

I am a male ,and having difference in breast size , and after touching while sleeping I can feel some tissues in bigger one , my age is 29 years
Male | 29
The mass you feel in the larger part could be a sign of gynecomastia. It is due to the uneven formation of the right and left breast parts. It is not of the essence to seek the doctor's advice but in case you are uncomfortable other than talking to the doctor, you can go to the hospital to check the asymmetry.

I have been spotting for 15 days ,it started on the day of menstruation and hasn't stopped since. Is it a cause for concern?
Female | 26
Spotting for such a long period can be alarming. It may occur as a result of hormonal changes, the presence of fibroids in the uterus, or even infections. Yeast infections or pelvic pain could be related to other symptoms and menstrual disorders. Monitor your symptoms closely and schedule an appointment with a gynecologist for a health checkup. Diagnosing the cause is necessary to ensure the right treatment is given.

Periods often vary due to stress, weight changes, or hormonal fluctuations. Pregnancy could also be a possibility, so it's important to take a test to confirm. Stress can delay your period, so try to stay calm and take care of yourself. If you're concerned, consider talking to a gynecologist.
