Infectious Diseases - January 2007

So, 1 week before I go on a vacation to paris, I wake up with a pain in my throat (today) First, I think the usual amount of times to get sick a year is like 2 or three, ive gotten sick (counting 2006) about 7 times already. Is there any meds for a poor immune system. Second of all, I am not sure if i have strep or sore throat. I woke up with my throat hurting, i doesnt hurt very much when I dont do anything, but it hurts when I swallow, garling salt water and eating halls helped a bit. Anyway, does anyone know if this is sore or strep throat, I dont have a fever or any weakness. Anyway, I am leaving for Patis next saturday (the 3rd) but I need to go back to school this week ( I want to be back by tommorow but tuesday or wensday is fine) does anyone know how long this usually lasts, and what else can I do to make it go away faster (I dont care about the pain, i already have meds for that, i just need it to be gone faster) Also, my mom said it might come back . how can i prevent it

I have 2 kids (5,2) who share a room. The older one, who has a flu, sleeps on top bunk, the little one, not sick yet, sleeps on bottom. Should they be sleeping in different rooms to prevent the little one from getting sick? (I've taken the usual precautions, washing hands, avoiding contact, etc)

my eye started to flinch starting from three days ago.
it's not 'tic' or whatever you call it. (i think)
my eye doesn't blink rapidly it just suddenly ...flinches.
sry can't really find the right word for it.
do you think it's just cuz i'm too tired?
it doesn't hurt.

Hey guys, have a quick question for you. I just went to a theater show the other day and when I handed my ticket to the man at the door, I noticed there was a cut on his hand. I'm not sure if the cut was still bleeding or not, but it freaked me out. The cut was on his thumb, right next to his nail. You know how somthinges skins peels away from your fingernail in like a little sliver? Well he took my ticket, and tore it, handing it back to me afterwords. I don't think my skin came in contact with his, but I'm worried he may have gotten blood on my ticket. I touched the ticket, of course, after he gave it back to me, and I'm worried that he might have had HIV or Hep C. I threw the ticket away but I am still worried. Am I at any risk? Also that night I touched my hair. If there was blood on the ticket, could that blood now be in my hair? Will a simple hot shower wash it out, or do I need to do something more drastic, like cut some of it off, where the blood touched? Please help!
Thanks
