I was drinking with a friend at his house and i was buzzed my friend introduced me to his friend so i gave him a hand shake. The guy was really skinny and later my friend told me that the guy has HIV. My question is that can u get HIV with a handshake and then going to the restroom and touching your genitals to go pee without washing your hands or touching your face. You know when your buzzed you don't even wash your hands. Later on, i was so worried about that.

I was tested at my school and my results came back by e-mail. It says I had the Herpes Select Type-2 test. The results were "Negative/Normal." Does this mean I do not have herpes at all or just that I don't have HSV-2????

My mom is 50 years old heavy chain-smoking woman for years. She is on her 3 packs a day habit with no intense to quit or cut it down. She is smoking for about 25 years, and she is always with a ciggie in her mouth smoking like a chimney and every day she smokes more and more. She also likes to smoke two cigs at once saying that she really needs to smoke more to feel good. In a recent years she started to smoke cigars on a daily purpose, she is really deeply inhaling them and says that she likes big smoke that fills her inside. She has a female friends about her age, who also smokes a lot and when they come to our house it is smoke everywhere i'm almost out of breath.
And my mom changed a lot. She looks older than she is, she got wrinkles on her face too early, she has a yellow tar stained teeth and very bad breath, she is always coughing a lot and constantly out of breath, sometimes i noticed that she is feeling dizzy, but she says she is ok and that she needs to smoke.Is it problem?

glucose levels are normal. I just want to eat all the time? Isn't this goofy? I thought that you lost weight on diabetes... I was on glipzide and metforman for a while... small doses.. but I just blew up in weight. It seems like if I don't eat at all.. or very little, I feel really good mentally... not sluggish, so that said, what is up with my ravenous appetite... which is still here but was even worse on the the pills...

ps. my blood sugar was ranging in the 140's to 200 range before I stopped the pills. So any advice on the munchy thing would be well accepted.

Okay. I have a few symptoms, and Im freaking out because I keep thinking that I have this. Im going to the doctor soon, but I have read lots of places that it is a long process to figure out if you have it or not, so I am just going to ask this now.

Here are my symptoms:

1. I feel shaky a lot. Like, when I am sitting down or something, I feel like a shake is going through my body. Sometimes I feel like I am shaking when I move my arms, walk, bend over, or do sit-ups. Also, usually if i rest my arm on the table with my wrist up, it will shake.

2. When I walk, I feel unsteady, like, I can walk in a straight line, but sometimes I just kind of go off to the side a bit.

3. Sometimes I feel dizzy too.

If you know anything, or have any info (other than WebMD), please share. Im 16, so naturally Im freaking out.

Every summer when it is really humid out, my mom and I will get itchy bumps (hives) on the tops of our hands and between our knuckles. It started when I was around 6. We have gone to a pediatrician, an allergy doctor, and a dermatologist and they weren't sure either. They just prescribed us hydrocortizone, but too much can cause blood poisoning and I get nervous when I use it. Do you know what this is and what I can do about it?

A girl recently died from meningitis in my city. I have a few questions:
1. Is it contagious through sneezing(like a cold or strep throat) or through blood or saliva (like AIDS or Mono)?
2. Is it bacterial or viral?
3. Are there ways to prevent it besides a shot?
4. Should I get an immunization shot for it?
