Recently I came down with a nasty stomach flu during which I also had a small amount of diarrhea. The entire sickness lasted about a day and a half, but during this time I noticed that I had developed a few tiny blister-like sores and possibly some small lumps on the Labium Minus. I have never had any sexual encounters before, hence my concern for why the condition has arisen. I believe it to be some sort of bacterial thing, but I can't be sure. I've read elsewhere that bacteria from the bowels can be harmful to the vagina, and am wondering if the diarrhea could have been a cause. It is also extremely itchy, and seems dry, though I am doing my best not to sratch it. I have been wiping it clean with warm water but because it has only been a little over a day, I've seen no results. Would a bath help? If anyone could offer me advice as to what it is, whether or not it is serious, and possible treatments, I would be greatly appreciative.

RECENTLY I VISITED A LAB TO GET MY MALARIAL TEST DONE, BUT I NOTICED THAT THE LAB TECHNICIAN HAD FRESH BLOOD STAINS ON HIS GLOVES WHEN HE INSERTED A NEW BUTTERFLY NEEDLE INTO MY VEIN. HE HAD OPENED THE NEW NEEDLE AND UNWINDED THE PLASTIC TUBE WITH THOSE BLOOD STAINED GLOVES. ALSO THE TIP OF THE NEEDLE HAD TOUCHED THE PLASTIC TUBE BEFORE HE INSERTED THE SAME INTO MY VEIN..I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED AND SCARED THAT IF THOSE BLOOD STAINS ON HIS GLOVES CARRIED HIV GERMS THEN CAN I ACQUIRE HIV GERMS THRU THIS MODE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT WHAT SHOULD I DO? IS THERE A NEED TO GET MYSELF TESTED. WHICH TEST DO I HAVE TO GO FOR? I SINCERELY NEED HELP AND AM SCARED TO DEATH.

I recently was tested for numerous STDS as preventative health maintenance. I was tested for Cytomegalovirus IGM and Cytomegalovirus IGG, IGM was negative, while IGG was positive. What is the difference between the two?

I have a roommate who I suspect may have hiv. He always has unprotected sex with prostitutes and stuff like that...Can I have HIV from him if he has it? We share the same bathroom but I am always careful about using my own toothbrush and razor. So what can I do to avoid infection ??

Today my friends dog is ill with parvo and hopefully with the care and catchining this illness as quickly as they did there is a good chance the dog will survive. But another friend told here that children can get it and the dog will not survive. I have seen the dog and seen the medicine he is givin and how he is being taken care of is very good. My concern is children getting the disease which I never heard of before until now. Just want to is this true or false.

I had a flu shot a few weeks ago and never got a cold till I had that shot. Now I can't get rid of this one. Never had a cold sore before and this one hurts like the dickens. I have tried everything and it's been four days. Seems to get sorer by the day. Anyone know of any home remedy for this pesky thing?

...and I was one of the people telling my co-workers not to worry, it can't give you the flu. But right now I ache all over and it feels like a hot, angry spiney anteater is digging in my sinuses. And on my freaking day off, yet! (SO nice to be able to whine on the net, BTW. Thanks. *sniffle*)
