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.

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.

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.

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.

Female | 22

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 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.
