I want to get contact lenses, but my mom won't let me get any. She won't tell me why either. Are there any risks?

30 days ago I had sex with a girl, I wore a condom but stupidly only rolled it up 75%, not all the way on my penis.

We finished with her taking off the condom & giving me oral.

Today I woke up & I felt like I had the flu, I have excessive diarrhea, my neck lymphnodes are swollen, I feel neuaseated, I feel like there is a slight pressure in my throat when I swallow, I have a fever, & my lower back muscles are sore I am terrified that I may have HIV when I found out said symptoms occour 30 days after contracting the virus.

I got tested a week ago but I'm still awaiting the results incredibly paranoid. What would the chances be of me contracting HIV in my sexual situation, & how accurate would my hiv test be? (They drew blood for the test)

My hair is falling out with every shower I take, gobs at a time! My boyfriend is concerned, should I be? I've tried some vitamins, but they dont help much. Should I change my diet? Try a different shampoo? Or is it hereditary? (mom has real thin hair) Please point me in the right direction. Thanks for your help.

Trying to figure out, because I've always has bad periods, but ever since I started on Birth Control, a few months later the pain got worse, I was getting cysts on ovaries while on them, my symptoms on and off are close to Endometriosis. I am getting a laproscopic surgery to check for Endo in January. I just have the question b/c I read on Wikpedia under birth control with hormones could cause Endometriosis to be worse. It seems like these pains are all of the sudden worse after taking the pill, and now off the pill the pain is still bad...

Is that just a term to make fun of a person, or is it a serious condition.

I was recently diagnosed with depression and i am taking tablets 4 it but im told that i need to talk to a pshciatrist. but part of my problem is i find it hard to comunicate with people and i am very shy because i cant trust people like i used to be able to. I am a lesbian that isnt exactly out of the closet yet and i find it very unatural because my older sister is also a lesbian but she is came out last year. So wat im hoping is that once i star talking to a pshciatrist i might be able to come to terms with my sexuality. can someone please give me another point of view to think about?

I am a jumpy person. It takes the slightest sudden noise to make me startled, (i.e. car horn, slamming door, dropping book, fire alarm) Does anyone know some things i can do to make myself not-so-jumpy?
