Hi
My problem is that during a screening for STDs, the clinic called and said they had a false biological positive on some aspect of the blood test fir HIV, they said to come in for a repeat blood test which I did a month or so after the original blood test. They told me that the results were exactly the same as the first time, and that this meant I was not HIV positive. I was told that there are certain things in different peoples’ blood and I have something in mine that made me test very weakly positive, but that I was not, in fact, positive, because if I was, there would have been significant changes in my blood over the elapsed time between first and second blood test.

I am still worried. Could I have HIV? I know I have been told that I don’t but it did not seem black and white, it was a very unsatisfactory explanation, and only through a phone call so I could not discuss this further.

Could the “false positive” be due to the fact that I had HPV during my first blood test? Or due to the fact that I had glandular fever nearly 4 years ago? Could prescribed drugs affect this test? What exactly is in my blood and is there any way it could turn into a dangerous virus and what can I do to prevent this?

Many thanks for any help that you can give.

My mother shared this with me recently, and did not say it was in confidence. My father is 72, me, my brother and sister are all adults. He has also started throwing up blood, so I assume it is getting into the serious stage. I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but can't decide if I should say something or just keep it to myself.

I want to lose weight, but by doing it right through diet and exercise. However, I am not sure which is better as there seems to be literature stating one of the other as to which way you should eat meals.

So the basic question is, which is better for weight loss: Eat only when hungry (still in moderation) or each several small meals every 2-3 hours?

The problem is I have relatively slow metabolism. I had blood work done it isn't anything medical, just really slow metabolism. I can go several days without being hungry, and faint as a result, without ever feeling the least bit hungry. On the other hand, trying to eat every 2 to 3 hours (even just an apple or something else equally small) makes me sick to my stomach. Anyone with ideas?

Thanks!

Ever since I started this new job that requires me to be on my feet constantly I have been experiencing very sore feet. I have a Dr. Scholls Foot spa but I need a miracle. I have bought new Nike shoes and I have given my feet a massage. I need something else maybe a trip to the foot doctor. Any Suggestions???

I have a hard time breathing sometimes.
This has been like this for 4 weeks now.
I'm 22.
My doctor thinks its asthma so she assumed that it is.
She doesn't seem to think its nesscary to have a test done.
I got xrays done & they come out normal.
What ALL could be wrong with me if its not asthma?
Wouldn't I have more symptoms if it wasn't?
Why or Why not?
The prednoise pills that I have took for it help.
What ALL does everyone think?
And why?

I'm looking for a fragrance free product called FRIDGE IT activated carbon odor absorbers. It is a small purple cube and a really great odor absorber. Anyone know of it and have used it? I've tried it and really think it works better than anything else including baking soda and fragranced sprays. Just tough to find?

I'v noticed that i had lice about 2 weeks going on 3 weeks ago now but that is just when i noticed so i dont know if i'v had them longer. My head is itchy a lot but has been less itchy as of late. However, when i go in a pool it seems like my head is immediatly itchy. Is that the chlorine or something?I have applied the lice shampoo (ex: RID) 3 times now and i use the comb that comes with it after each. I feel as if the shampoo is killing all of the live head lice but the nits just wont go away. We spent almost an hour yesterday using the gel and combing but i looked today and i still found some nits/eggs today. I am absolutley sick of theses buggers and want them out. Shaving my head however is out of the question. HELP!!

My mum had bladder surgery on Friday, but didnt recover well, but docs did a chest x ray as her oxygen levels were low and she fainted twice. They say they saw a shadow on her lungs or one lung and she is waiting for a scan now, the docs told my mum it could be a chest infection or blood clot as she has had a cough for 6 months too and brings up stuff sometimes, not blood though. My mum had never smoked in her life and is not really subject to passive smoking, but all I can think is cancer!!

Does anyone have information to the contrary, or know the chances of it being something else?

Many thanks
