Menicillin Resistand Staph. Aur. (staph infection) seems to be going around right now. Does anyone know of a good spray or even a solution (bleach and water) that can be used to help reduce the spread of the bacteria on football (American) equipment. The highest incidences of this infection occurrs in close proximity/contact sports. Just looking for something that I can hit everybody's equipment with after practice and games.

I haven't had the stomach flu since I was 11. I am 20 now, and it has finally struck again! I am on Pepto, Tylenol, and a prescription for it. But, I still feel AWFUL. The very idea of food is sending me running to the bathroom, so I haven't been able to eat anything, but I am staying hydrated. Does anyone have any at-home feel better tricks to share? Thanks.

Are you aware of the risks involved ? Hepititis C is called "the silent epidemic" Millions of people who have invested in tatoos and body piercings are not aware that they have contracted Hep C until years later. They are not aware because they have had no symptoms. There is also a high risk of contracting HIV.
Do your research, don't just take my word for it . Is it really worth the risk ?

I'm curious if HIV-tainted blood splattered on the open wounds of someone else, could HIV be transmitted this way?
I ask this, oddly enough, because there was a sequence in a Daredevil comic book in which a situation like this happened. One person was mortally hurt, and blood from this HIV-infected person, splattered on another person who had several open wounds.
Thanks.

If you havent washed your hands or done anything to sterilize your hands, is it ok to finger a girl. If not what happens if you dont think about it and you do it anyways. How does that effect her.

I went to the doctor because i was having yeast infection alot. She said that i had a bacterial infection. She wanted to run other test for std. I went back a week later and all of my tests where back and they were good but she said the hepres test had not come in so i went home and about an hour later she called and said my herpes test was pos. One of the reason i don't want to believe it is because the test did not come back with the others, somewhere in my mind i am hoping that it was a mix up somewhere I don't know what to do. I didn't know i had it, i still can't believe it because i have not had any symptoms like the cold sores or the sores below. People are telling me different things like the yeast infections are not a sign. I wanted to get tested one more time then maybe if it comes back pos. i will accept it. So could someone help me and tell me some of the symptoms or should i go and see an gyn. Sorry for all the writing i just scare right now and need help and support.
