How does having <20 HIV viral load affect transmission risk?
What does <20 means regarding HIV? Am I being exposed to HIV?
General Physician
Answered on 23rd May '24
Your <20 HIV test result means that it was not detected in the sample of your blood. While this is true it should be noted that up to 3 months were needed for the virus to appear in the test. If you have a concern regarding HIV exposure, it would be best to schedule an appointment with an infectious disease specialist. He or she will do a proper testing and will guide you through the process.

Mujhe 2 saal pahele vaccinated dog ne kata tha aur maine vaccination nhi karwaya tha toh kya mujhe koi problem ho sakti hai
Female | 16
If bitten by a dog, get medical attention right away. Rabies is an acute syndrome of fatality and cannot be treated after symptoms appear. The vaccine is very effective but only if it was given before the appearance of symptoms. If you have been bitten by a dog, contact an appropriate medical specialist as soon as possible.

Hello! I have gained quite a bit of weight after a saddlebag lipo last year. I'm currently 1.69cm and about 74/75kg. I eat well & exercise fairly often but can't seem to sake those kg off. I want to start taking Mounjaro but I know usually it is recommended to people with BMI over 30. Is it safe for me to take it? I have no medical conditions & my only health issues is low vitamin D, low folic acid & low B-12, which I'm taking supplements for. I tried Orlistat last year & didn't work so that's not an option. Thanks!
Female | 31
The usage of any drug for weight loss, for example, Mounjaro should be prescribed after consulting an experienced medical professional. While Mounjaro is usually given to those with a BMI over 30, it may be safe for the prescription for a doctor.

i was 100 days ago walking on the road when i saw a drop from somewhere above. i didn't notice it at the time but i thought that if that drop was the saliva of a rabid dog
Male | 17
If an infected animal drooled into your eye, you may have contracted rabies; however, the chances are slim. Common indicators include high temperatures and general discomfort such as headaches. To be safe, rinse your eye thoroughly for a few minutes with water and get in touch with a medical professional immediately.

I have pain in my right breast for almost 2 years.. It's not constant but occasional. It also pains my neck and shoulder sometimes.
Female | 27
These could be symptoms caused by a strained or tense muscle. Make sure to notice any activities which make the pain worse. Applying heat or gently massaging the area might help relieve the discomfort. If it doesn’t get better or gets worse, please see a doctor.

The very corners of my eyes are slightly yellow after smoking cannabis with my friend and we are smoking hash joints which has like a mix of tobacco in it. Im a 20 year old girl and i smoke weed pretty regularly for the past like 6 months or so. I almost never drink and the last time i drank was well over a momth ago. I also never smoke cigarette but did that a month ago too. I saw someone here saw this guy had jaundice because he smoked weed and had hepititus B but i dont have that. Its just the corners and its not that pigmented but its scaring me please help
Female | 20
Yellowing of the eyes may suggest liver problems and hepatitis. Smoking cannabis and tobacco may aggravate liver infection. The issue is that it's hard to pinpoint the cause without thorough examination. An additional evaluation and liver function tests are advised to be conducted by your doctor.

I have gastritis. I had been prescribed Amoxicillin tablets and i purchased accidentally capsule and consumed it, will it have a wrong affect in the body
Male | 21
For gastritis, Amoxicillin consumption in capsule instead of tablet form should not significantly affect its value. If you have doubts about the dose or the form of medication that you've taken, it's good to consult your doctor for confirmation and more instructions.

Even if you utilized a condom, there is still a chance of getting the virus. It is suggested to get tested frequently, even when the results are negative. It is better to see a specialist and have in depth discussion on preventive measures.

Such symptoms may be the result of an infection. Fever and weakness are common symptoms when people are fighting an infection. In addition to plenty of fluid and rest, you can consume Advil or Tylenol. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it's important to seek medical advice.

Male | 34
You should avoid the second dose of the Covishield vaccine as probably you are allergic to one of its constituents. You can also visit a General Physician for further investigation of your allergy.

Hiii sir my question can leech bites couse of artery and vein block and nerrow. 2. Second question sir leech come inside male urinary bladder and kidney failure couse.
Male | 24
Rarely do leech bites become problematic using blockage in the arteries and veins; this is due to the properties contained in the leech saliva that naturally preclude the formation of clots. Nevertheless, the severe reactions to leech bites still may occur: an important consequence of the reactions is manifested as swelling and inflammation. Incidents of leeches entering the urinary bladder of males are a barely rare occurrence, but if that happens, it will stimulate infection problems, while more severe cases can lead to kidney failure. If you fear that a leech bite has bitten you or if you have any unusual symptoms, the best thing to do is to see a doctor soon.
