i received an inconclusive HIV test result 1 month ago. (I just retested this week and am waiting, very anxious)
The only risk factor I have is 2 years ago, I did oral with a guy (I am male) but stopped long before he ejaculated. He did that on my arm (no cuts or sores on my arm). There has been NO contact of any kind since 2 years ago.
Should the test have been definatly positive by now? and what is my risk factor? I need some help, I am sick with worry about this.

Okay, I've got this huge wart on my thumb, It's really annoying.
I've tried Compound W, and it doesn't work. I mean it does, It's just that Right after it's gone, It comes back again.

I was also wondering how people got warts, like what's the cause?

Thank you soooo much!

My friend has that and she went into the seizure. She didn't black out she was staring off in to space and pulling at her clothes for about 3 mins. Her mental health is a clean bill of health and her physical is normal. She has done this before at a party. Everone was laughing at her. I took her in another room until she stopped. And went back to the party as if nothing happened. Any advice where she can go for help.

If I go all day without eating (bad, I know, but it happens because of work and such),...anyways, I get very tired, weak, and cranky. People tell me it is because my blood sugar is low and that as soon as I eat something, I'll be fine.

I understand about how food is converted into energy and lack of energy explains why I'm weak and tired. What I don't understand is how it could possibly make me so irritable and cranky.

when I recorded my BP 3-4 times on free BP checking machine in the superstore I found that my systolic bp dropped by almost 40 points at the 4th observation within few minutes.My readings were 183/87, 149/88, 150/90 ,142/84.
What is my correct BP? Why there is so much difference in readings within few minutes. Is the superstore or pharmacy shop machine reliable?

If all goes as planned I will be able to have the 4 small incisions, but if it doesn't, I will have to have the large cut from bellybutton to just under the ribcage.

My questions are: What is the recovery time and time off work (I work in an office where all of my day is spent sitting upright in a hard chair)?

What medications will I come home with? Antibiotics? Pain meds? Something else for liver function?

I appreciate any help on this matter. Thanks in advance
