These products seem to do a good job of killing bacteria, but do they also kill common viruses such as Herpes Simplex or stomach viruses?

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 ??

My 2 year old got her flu shot today and the health officer gave it to her in her butt. I was surprised by this, as she has always gotten her vaccines in her leg by her doctor. I am wondering if this will affect the effectiveness of the flu vaccine? Does anyone know? I read online (I know, dangerous) some sites said that shots in the butt do not work as well...

I think I am going to call her Dr. on Monday and ask what they think. I doubt they'll say to give her another shot, but I'm curious. I need her flu shot to work this year as I'm 9 mos pregnant!

So I've been unlucky enough to get chicken pox recently. They've only started blistering today & itch like crazy, though Im smart enough to know not to scratch them haha.
I have a river cruise coming up on the 30th, do you think that the chicken pox will be healed by then, if not atleast easy to cover up by foundation when they start to crust over?
Also, I hear that drinking lots of fluids speeds up the process of the chicken pox?
Anything you could reccommend to make the itchiness stop for a bit?

I actually have waited about a week since the TB skin test. Can doctors still determine if it's positive or not without me having to take it again?

The doctors/nurses didn't spend too much time asking useless questions and just take your tests? Can't they just have a written questions? Why do they need to know whether you have unprotected oral sex? Isn't that mainly the reason you are getting tested in the 1st place?

1 week ago, I went to the doctour for white, pus-like blisters on my tonsils. I was told by the nurse-practioneer that I did not have strep, but an ear infection. I was given a prescription for Antibiotics for a total of 10 days. By the 8th day, I assumed I was cured, but continued to take the Antibiotics. 6 days later, from the 8th day I felt better, the same symptoms were happening again. As of today, I went to the doctour and had a throat culture and I was told by the doctour, I did not have strep. The doctour told me, he could not prescribe me any medications and that I should wait it out. I am curious, should I get a second-opinion or should I wait this infection out?

My x is supposed to be coming to my home tomorrow, to stay overnight. He has had a sickness virus for 2 days and is still ill today. He cought it from his flat mate.

He doesn't want to let me down because it's my birthday but I am concerned about catching this virus.

I suffer with depression so I can't afford to catch it, because it will pull me down mentally, aswell as physically.

When is the worst time of being in contact with someone, with this sort of virus?
