Please can anyone answer my question as my friend is being very sketchy on details. My friend had unprotected sex with two men she'd met at a club (silly girl i know). I advised her to have a sexual health screening. She had tests done a few months ago and thankfully they all came back as clear. However, she received a phone call to go to the clinic today to have a HIV and AIDS test done. Is that standard practice? And if so, why so long after her original test? Thank you in advance. I hope this experience will encourage her to practice safer sex in future.

Lower right back pain in the general area of the kidney brought on by a simple, every day action like bending or turning.
Front thigh pain just above the knee occurring at the same time. Pain lasts for weeks at a time.

My doctor has referred me to get an MRI done because she suspects a problem with a compressed disk. From what I've been reading, I'm leaning more towards Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction but I'm no doctor. Plus, I don't know if the front thigh pain would be a symptom. Anyone know?
Thanks

my husband works out before work in the mornings and he doesnt wear deodorant while he does this. he complains that his workout clothes reek like ammonia and i tell him maybe if he wore deo they wouldnt. he says the shirt smells around the neck. anyway, he says he's never heard of anyone wearing deo while working out ! he thinks i am weird for disagreeing. he says he takes a shower immediately after, then puts deo on to go to work. he doesnt see the point in wearing it during workout. isnt that what deo is made for?? to wear while sweating to prevent body odor !!?? someone please help. which one of us is right? i told him i'd show this to him.

My boyfriend wasn't sexually active until he was 17. But since he was 14, he's had bumps that look like ant bites (WITHOUT the redness of ant bites) on his penis. They would always show up for about a week or two, then go away for about a year, then show up again, go away, etc. But what's worrying us is that they've been there now for 6 months & there are more of them. Again, he was NOT sexually active before the age they first appeared. From my research, it appears that it's NOT genital herpes or warts, but does anyone have information on what it might be?

If you get prostate cancer twice, and had half the left testical removed each time (So he is only left with the right), is a man still fertile? If so is there reduced chance of fathering children etc?
