Currently just started a relationship with a wonderful girl around a month ago. Shes not a virgin and neither am I and we have not engaged in sex yet, only heavy petting once in which she gave a short bj. I was abit apprehensive because of the fear of STDs, especially from the newspaper articles recently.

I really like her and wish for us both to get tested to set my mind at ease at least. How do i tell her in a way she will be receptive and not react adversely?

and if hopefully she is, which clinics provide such service? How much does it costs and how long do we have to wait for the results. The more dicreet the better.

Someone goes to the Doctor with a Cough, Chest Congestion, and Tightness in the Chest. The Doctor just takes Blood Pressure, Temp., and listens to his Chest. The Doctor says they have Bronchitis with a little Fluid in the Lungs. He Prescribes them Antibiotics, an Inhaler, and Steroids. Should the Doctor also have X-rays taken?

I am supposed to take 5 miligrams and the pharmacy gave me 100 miligrams, i noticed because the pills were so much larger than my normal pills. i did not take them. The Pharmacy is a state pharmacy. i guess i just need some feedback as to maybe hypethitically if i had taken it would it have stopped my heart? and shouldn't somebody be more responsible than to make such a huge mistake? thanks for any input.

I have had a couple of bites that have been the same in the last month or so, and we don't have pets and I live in the UK, so no poisonous spiders...The doctor said I was allergic to whatever has bitten me. I haven't seen anything that would suggest bedbugs (like bloodstains, or any bugs), but the itching is driving me crazy! Does anyone know how to get rid of them if they are there?

This rash comes n goes, it starts off looking like a mosquito bite but then it spreads 2 look like lots of mosquito bites that have merged. Sometimes i even get it on the lips which makes it kinda swollen. As suddenly as it comes it'll disappear after 3 to 12 hours. I'm 33 years old & i've never been allergic 2 anything all my life.

It's constantly in the press how girls and women suffer anorexia or bulimia to be thin. Do men suffer from eating disorders cos I've not come across anything to suggest that they do.
