Answered on 22nd July '24
AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. It's a severe condition that is unable to be healed, which is caused by a virus called HIV. HIV, which is the root of AIDS, weakens the human immune system. It is for this reason that the body can not ward off infections. Among the many symptoms of AIDS, the main ones include rapid weight loss, frequent fevers, and extreme tiredness. The most preferable treatment option is to explain HIV through the use of protection drugs during intimacy and not to use needles. Early screening and taking the required medications could help manage the virus.

Hello sir/ma I have been peeing blood last two days now and am scared what should I do
Male | 19
Blood in pee could be the result of a Urinary Tract Infection, Kidney Stones, or even something major like Bladder or Kidney Disease. Pain or burning while peeing, frequent urination, or fever might be other symptoms. To be safe, you should try to see a urologist as soon as possible.

Muje fever he kabhi aata he kabhi thik ho jata he kabhi kabar bahot thand chadh jati he throat me bhi infection he mcv count is decreased and mchc count is increased and tlc is increased
Male | 24
A fever that comes and goes could be an infection. The chills, sore throat, and blood test results support this too. Your MCV was low, MCHC high, and TLC raised - signs something's not right. Don't worry though, infections are common and treatable. But you must rest up, drink lots of liquids, and eat nutritious meals. See a doctor soon as antibiotics might be needed to help you heal faster.

I'm depressed that is I'm hiv positive pls help me
Male | 19
If you have recently been diagnosed with HIV, it is quite normal to feel low. Symptoms of HIV include fever, sore throat, and being more tired than usual. The virus makes the immune system weaker, so the body cannot fight infections easily. Always, keep the thought in your mind that HIV is treatable with the help of medications. Medicines can indeed assist you in leading a healthy life. Discuss with your doctor initiating medication and going to support groups.

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.

It looks like there are certain elements that are below the required levels in your body. For it to function properly, your body needs them. Feeling tired, weak, or unlike yourself can be signs of insufficient amounts of these substances. When some substances are too many, then it may mean that the body is fighting something. To help you feel better soon, you might have to take such supplements like Vitamin B12 or Iron among others.

Male | 23
The results of your blood test are nearly within the normal limits. You have a low platelet count, which can be caused by different factors including infections or drugs. Equivalent mean platelet volume does not suggest cancer. It could perhaps be indicative of disorders like platelet destruction. If you do feel difficulties such as abnormal bleeding or bruises, do consult a hematologist.

Female | 55
Your CD19 level is 52, and you're dealing with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and myasthenia gravis (MG). Typically, Rituximab is considered when CD19 levels are 20 or lower. Symptoms of MCTD and MG include joint pain, fatigue, and muscle weakness. Rituximab may help by targeting specific immune cells. It's best to discuss with your doctor to see if it's right for you.

Can I drink milk while I'm taking lamivudine and zidovudine for pep
Female | 21
You can drink milk while taking lamivudine and zidovudine. These medications don't interact with milk. But milk may upset your stomach or cause diarrhea. If milk bothers you, try lactose-free milk or drink less. Stay hydrated while taking these meds. Drink other beverages if milk upsets you. Contact your doctor if you have bad stomach pain or vomiting.

I did lft test on Friday and my globulin level is 3.70 and now Tuesday after 4 days I did again lft test and globulin level is 4 I am so scared it increasing what should I do
Male | 38
A minor rise in your globulin level in the blood profile is not usually a cause of concern. Globulin is a protein in your blood that serves as a defense against infections. The levels of this protein may at times, be affected by factors such as dehydration or infections. No need to panic if you have not noticed any change in your health or you have not developed any unusual symptoms. Consume enough water and a healthy diet of fruits and vegetables. If you observe any new symptoms or if this continues, consult with your doctor for further advice.

Your hemoglobin is slightly low, and the symptoms you're describing may be linked to this. You might be experiencing anemia, which can cause body aches and tiredness. Visit a gynecologist to discuss your period issues, and they might suggest some tests or supplements to help.

I am 38 years and married. In October, last year I went to donate blood but was told one of the test is positive for HIV. I was asked to retest after months. I did and it is still same inconclusive result. What should I do?
Male | 38
The fact that your test was inconclusive implies that it's still not clear if you are HIV positive or not. Regarding the symptoms of HIV, they are similar to fever, tiredness, and weight loss. More likely, bringing about can be unsafe sex or sharing needles. Therefore, you must see a doctor

Anti hiv value 0.229 is good
Male | 19
It's great to know that your anti-HIV value is 0.229. This shows that you have a certain amount of HIV antibodies that your body has made but not many. It could mean you were infected recently or just exposed without getting sick. Keep an eye on it with frequent testing.

But Then his health worsened and his blood count became high, after which the doctor administered blood transfusion.and say to continue imatinib . But now some time sometimes there is pain in hands and legs.abb mujhe kya karna chahiye ???
Female | 36
Undoubtedly, discomfort in the limbs (hands and legs) can be a typical occurrence amongst patients with persistent myeloid leukemia, a fact which must be acknowledged. Such pain, however, might also be there due to the medication or the disease itself. These signs of your disease, you should always tell your doctor about them, as they might need to adjust the treatment or give other means to relieve the pain. Communication is thus successful if your healthcare provider gets access to the symptoms and describes the best way he or she can help.

Low hemoglobin A2 , weakness
Female | 30
Low hemoglobin A2 causes weakness and fatigue. Your body lacks iron. Insufficient iron happens when the diet lacks iron-rich foods like beans, spinach, red meat. Boost hemoglobin A2 by discussing iron supplements or diet changes with a doctor.

Hello doctor I have a very challenging question here for you to help me with. Do you have to extend the duration of PEP for HIV prophylaxis to more days if the patient got another exposure on the 6th day while taking the regular 28 days dosage regimen. He had so far reached the 6th day of taking his PEP and got anothet exposure. So should we add more 6 days on top of the remaining 22 days. Thanks Laurence
Male | 26
If a person on HIV PEP experiences another exposure to the virus on the sixth day of treatment, it is of the utmost importance to consult a doctor. They will consider the situation at hand very carefully and consequently decide this case. Quite sometimes, they might find it adequate to prolong the treatment duration according to personal circumstances for optimal safety. Never forget that open and honest communication with your healthcare team is the crucial component of the best possible care.

The symptoms you mention - rashes, red dots, hot sensation, and shortness of breath - may be caused by various reasons other than HIV. For instance, stress and anxiety are also potential causes of these symptoms. To be sure, you can ask a doctor.
