I suspect I may have a parasite (maybe, maybe not). I did have a colonoscopy several months ago and the doctor said everything was fine (the reason had nothing to do with anyone thinking there was a parasite). My question is, does this pretty much rule out the possibility of a parasite?

Thanks in advance.

The primary immune response requires IL-4 and IL-5 for B cells to grow and differentiate into plasma and memory. Upon subsequent exposure to Ag, are the interleukins required again, or will a memory cell differentiate into plasma cells as soon as it encounters Ag again?

I started having sex recently with my girlfriend. The day after the first time, I felt a slight burning inside my penis, it is a constant feeling. It doesnt hurt. I just want to know if it could be something other than an STD like excessive friction, not enough moisture, ie dry humping, irritation from say baby oil. If it is an STD, which one is it likely? And what would be symptoms that follow this burning feeling? Anything visual?

I am 18 years old and I have had cold sores now off and on for the last 8 years. I would maybe get 1-2 a year on my lips. I got a cold sore about 6 months ago and it doesnt want to go away. It will heal about 85% then come back. I went to the doctor and he put me on valtrax and it is working a little but the cold sore is not completely going away. I have tried abreva and zovirax. I take lysine, zinc, B complex. and a multi vitamin. Does any one have any other suggestions on something I can do. PLEASE help me!
