To keep ourselves safe, we need a public list where we can see who has HIV in our communities! I would love to go on a website and find out whether or not someone I know is infected. It will help decrease our chances of getting HIV if we know! Plus the people who have HIV can go on and look for other HIV infected people and therefore have sexual inercourse with each other! Think about the danger they can cause if they go unnoticed, about the lives we can save!

King Henry VIII had a big ulcer on his thigh, and he had to drain it everyday. Could it be that he was having sex w/ many different females or what?

I was at a beach in Green Bay yesterday and I think I got a bite from some sort or mosquito, horsefly or bee.
Usually, when i get a bite from one of the above insects it swells up to the size of a quarter and is usually 4 times smaller by the next day.
This is different:
I can see a small bite mark, a little red hole/dot. and there is about 2- 2.5 inches of swelling and redness around it. AND it itches like you wouldn't belive.
I havent been itching it, I put hydrocortizone cream on it, and it worked for about 10 minutes.
Im fed up!

Generally sick feeling everyday? I'm not sure, but for some reason, can't explain why, but think it has something to do with bowels. This is embarrassing, but after I "go" sometimes I feel better for a while, but the feeling comes back off and on through the day. Sometimes my stomach has a mild "burning" like feeling, sometimes I slightly feel like I could vomit. Yes, sometimes eating something, like a piece of toast helps. Anyone else ever experienced this & what was the cause/diagnosis/treatment? Any answers serious answers would be appreciated!!

We know she is dying, so can anyone help me out with pulse rates, I'm not even sure how to take her pulse so that I can check it myself. Your help during this time is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am in tons of pain and it is causing sinus problems and headaches. I have been referred to an ENT-I guess maybe that is all they do is mostly surgery?

My son is almost 7 yrs. old and on Saturday he was acting very funny. He was very quiet and withdrawn, pale, and wouldn't eat. I took his temp. and it was 95.1. Which I thought was very low. He was not exposed to anything real cold. I immediately wrapped him up in blankets and his temp. did go up.
Why would that happen? Should I call his doctor? Does anybody know if this could be a side affect from taking Adderall XR.? He takes that for ADHD.

I mean, wouldn't it save MORE lives if there was an easy way to be told if someone had an STD? An STD/AIDS test costs money which is why people don't really go through with all that trouble. But if there was an offical file (almost like a phone book) that was updated every year that told who had an STD, wouldn't that make life much easier for people who aren't infected?

There should be an annual government-paid test that everyone has to go through with. Don't do it and you go to jail (just like if you didn't do your taxes). No one should have a problem with it. If they don't have an STD, they have nothing to worry about. If they do then shouldn't people know...unless they were going to keep it from everyone and just spread it with every partner they had (which is illegal too). Either way, I don't see any good reason why the public shouldn't be warned about the people with STD's. Schoold HAVE to be warned when a child has the chicken pox or other contagious disease.

I was at a store buying me some Insulin Syringes and their was a this woman behine me. She told the casheir that she was going to be nice to her customers I assume they knew each other. Anyways she start saying don't you need a licensen to give out needles, so anyone can come in and buy them that's like anyone can go buy a gun off the streets! I got so piss off that she made a comment like that. I told her why would someone come in a buy all these syringes they could just get it from anybody off these streets then to purchace them ya know. She was lookin' like oh my goodness I can't believe she just told me that. And the cashier told her these are for people who take Insulin. What do you think about that?

I found a bottle of Valtrex prescribed to a girl that I have had unprotected sex with recently. She denies that she has herpes, but I saw a commercial for Valtrex and it was about herpes. She told me she takes it for acne, could that be true?

Yesterday (after a big Father's day lunch with key lime pie) I suddenly felt lightheaded. My hands were trembling so much I could barely hold up the book I was reading. Both my arms felt very weak and my mouth was dry. I made some green tea and the feeling passed in about 1/2 hour. I had no pain, but my heart was pounding, maybe from anxiety. Any ideas besides too much to eat?
