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.

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.

Female | 19
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.

My alkaline phosphate level is 248. Please tell me if this is normal or not. If not then give me some suggestion.
Male | 19
Having an alkaline phosphate level of 248 is a little high. It may be that your liver or bones are not ok. If you have symptoms such as tiredness, stomach ache, and yellowness of the skin, make sure you seek medical help immediately. A healthcare professional will be able to help establish what is causing this and also advise on the right treatment 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 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.

It's important to address each of your conditions with a specialist to manage your health effectively. Please consult an ENT specialist and a gastroenterologist for the maxillary mucosal disease and pseudo pancreatic cyst. For your bipolar affective disorder and associated symptoms like fatigue and heart rate irregularities, continue following up with your psychiatrist.

Male | 44
Based on your explanation, you are familiar with fever and have also noticed blood in your urine. This could be a symptom of a urinary tract infection or a sign of kidney problems, both of which can also cause weakness. It would be best to consult a doctor within a few days to determine the cause and receive the appropriate care.

Hi, I did Antibody hiv 1& 2 Elisa test after 30 days of exposure. Then once again I did Insti antibody 1&2 screening tes after 45 days. In both test my result was negative. Should I do further test for my assurance...please kindly suggest me
Male | 39
The tests you took at 30 and 45 days are generally accurate, but for complete peace of mind, it's best to get tested again 3 months after being exposed. This is because it takes time for the immune system to make enough antibodies that can be detected by the test. In the meantime, if you start feeling unwell with symptoms such as fever, rash, sore throat or tiredness, please tell your doctor.

I went to general check and blood test. I got CEA test level 8.16 I don't smoke or drink. Reason for it. Is it normal
Male | 55
CEA stands for Carcinoembryonic Antigen, a protein produced in the body, and the levels of it in the body may be high because of different causes such as inflammation or infection. Usual symptoms are unusual with a slight increase in CEA levels, but further tests and monitoring are also often necessary. It’s important to visit your healthcare provider to find out the exact reasons for your condition and the best ways to fight it.

Hi! I’m 28 years old woman. After I lost a pregnancy at 6 weeks, last year in December, we decided to try again. Now, I’m pregnant again in 3 weeks and my doctor suggested a trombophilia test. The results came few minutes ago. Can you help with it? Thanks in advance! Mutation Factor 2 (G20210a, protrombina)->negative/negative Mutation Factor V Leiden (G1691A)->negative/negative Mutation MTHFR(C677T)->negative/negative Mutation MTHFR(A1298c)-> positive Homozigote/negative Detection gene PAI-1 (4g/5g) ->PAI-1 heterozigote 4g/5g / PAI-1 homozigote 5g/5g Mutation factor XIII -> positive heterozigote/negative
Female | 28
Factor 2 and Factor V Leiden tests were negative - that's good news. However, an MTHFR mutation was detected. This means your body may struggle to break down certain B vitamins. Additionally, the PAI-1 gene varies slightly, indicating potential differences in blood clotting.

Male | 22
If your CRP level shows 26, it's slightly above normal. That indicates your body has inflammation. Inflammation comes from infections, injuries, or chronic conditions. To treat it, you need to address the underlying cause. Your doctor may suggest anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics, depending on what's causing inflammation.

Also provide inform on if I can take any benefits of government cards like Ayushman card, Bal Sandarbh card or etc. Also provide me any other information which I should know.
Wiskott Aldric syndrome (WAS) is a very rare X-linked recessive disease characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), immune deficiency, and bloody diarrhea (due to thrombocytopenia). It needs a multidisciplinary approach. Treatment too has to cover different aspects of the syndrome. Transplantation is the current accepted treatment HLA typing of all potential donors should be done. If a family donor is not identified, an unrelated donor should be searched so that potential donor is available. But over all benefits of the therapy has to be taken into account. Usually, bone marrow transplantation cost ranges from Rs. 15,00,000 ($20,929) to Rs. 40,00,000 ($55,816). The cost may vary depending on the experience of the doctor and also from one hospital to another. Consult a hematologist, our page could help you with that - Hematologists in Mumbai.
