Ok so sometimes while laying in bed during my many sleepless nights my mind wanders and I think of all sorts of things..and I was wondering about this...

Lets say a man sleeps with a women who is HIV positive....and the next day this same man sleeps with a women who is NOT hiv positive. Months pass and this man ends up contracting HIV from the first women he slept with....could the women he was with the day after who didnt have HIV be at risk for it as well?

I dont think so because to me the time frame is too close together..he wouldnt have HIV so he wouldnt be able to spread it till later when the virus was "Stronger"

LOL maybe its a dumb question but I was wondering what others thought...perhaps I'm wrong..if so tell me so at least I know!

I've been reading some articles about it lately, and it hasn't been good, then why do they offer it at local drugstores like walgreens etc? I want to get it, because I hate getting sick, but is it really that bad?

I am in the 5th of 6 rounds of chemo and I am suddenly very itchy everywhere. There is no yeast infection or any infection. Benedryl does not help. There is no redness anywhere. All surgical areas have healed. I have just started itching in the last 5 days. What can I do, if anything to stop the itching?

renal ultrasound was normal. blood flecks still showing up in urine frequently, but preliminary tests for blood showed nothing.
Can food allergies cause this?

I'm so sad about this fact. I have a small red bulge in my d***. I can't believe it. The first time I saw it was yesterday and I somehow squeezed it. A yellow fluid came out and it bled. It's so hard to imagine this becoz the last time I've had s** was already 6 months ago! But I already felt some itchiness and redness even before. What is this? and what should I do?

And his kidneys only function at 20%, but they have been that way for about 10 years. The swelling appears worse lately. Basically, the question I am asking is, does worse water retention signal that his kidneys may be failing more? Or is this just a normal sign of diabetes and chronic kidney disease. I don't want to over-worry myself....thank you.

I believe I may have had this my entire life, but was only diagnosed last year. I take eltroxin. Sometimes I still have insomnia and memory problems. Before I was treated, my symptoms varied from severe to almost non-existant. I would like to know if this is possible for the severity of the condition to vary depending upon factors like emotional stress. Also, will my memory ever come back? Sometimes I feel so stupid. People tell me I am not, and I recently re-enrolled in college and received very good marks, but I just don't feel as smart as I was a few years ago. Could this condition cause permanent brain damage? I know sometimes the sympathetic nervous system will overcompensate by releasing too much epinephren. I had a spell that went on for months, that was like being on a bad speed trip I couldn't get off of. Could having too much epinephren in my system have caused permanent damage?

I'm 16, and about 2 years ago, I had a really hard hit on my right breast. Since then, it seems like it hasn't been growing. My left breast seems to be fine and growing, but not the right one. In addition, just this past month, I noticed a lump in the right breast [the one I bumped] I figured that it was probably because of when I bumped it. But today, it has started to hurt! And its the lump that is hurting!

So is this cancer, and if not, is this anything to be worried about?

thanks

These allergies are terrible, I used to sing and can no longer do so. I would really like to get back into it but its very hard to sing and breathe through your mouth at the same time. Sometimes i feel like Im going to faint. Is there any remedy that will work really quickly so I can get back into singing or breathing comfortably at all?

My son has seen two doctors and I am still worried. First doctor said it was his eczema flaring up then his second doctor said it was a case of varicella. I first noticed my son acting fussy 3 weeks ago but I thought he was teething, had mild case of diarrhea, and felt a little warm. Then he got what I thought was a cold only to be followed up with this rash that is all over except the face and head which is why i don't think it is chicken pox. Has anyone out there had a case like this and if so when should I see improvement in his discomfort?

Two day ago I went to the hospital and the doctor asked me to take a regular blood test due to an stomach pain I have right now and when I saw the needle I closed my eyes, but when I opened them again, I saw a red spot in the finger of the girl who took my blood test. Now I’m really scared again because I think it was blood. I got so scared that I while I was waiting for the results; I had to ask her if it was blood but she said it was only ink from a red marker. I didn’t see the red spot again because she was wearing gloves but she wasn’t wearing them when she took my blood. This idea I have is probably a bit sick but I believe that the girl could have used her blood to infect me with HIV. Is this possible? Can somebody do something like that? Should I take another blood test in three months time? Or am I just being Paranoid???

I feel sore and weak. Hot and cold. Can't tell if I'm hungry or sick to my stomach. I think I might have a fever, but I'm not sure.
It hurts to breathe deep, but I havn't been caughing. I also have not been sneezing, wheezing or had any real cold symptoms.
Usually when I get sick its just a cold. Is this the flu? I can't tell, I've never really felt like this.

I need to find out what is going on with my body (long story) and my doc ordered a blood test. I want to make sure the test will be as accurate as it can be! Should I avoid any over the counter meds? Avoid certain drinks/food? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
