ok...if you have already gotten staph infection, are you immune to it? i heard it is really deadly and there arent any cures for it. it is going around on the east coast...and thats where my bf is. someone in school already died from it i think. can it come back once you have already had it?

thanks

My girlfriend of 3 months was always tired and is 34. I suggested that she go for a blood test and it came back that she has Herpes-Type 2. I am not sure what this means. We have oral sex. I met her on a gay dating site & she comes from a very good family. Do we continue to see one another or what is it you do. I have done some research & seems this is a very common thing & 45 million people have this. Yes, I do plan to go get tested. I Don't understand why it is so common & that most people have it? Do you continue the relationship if I don't have it? I would think so if it is so common among people.

ok, i have had strep for 2 months now. everytime i take all my antibiotics like a good little girl, and a day or 2 later i start getting sick again, and i change my toothbrush and wash everything i own, i still get sick. im starting my fourth prescription. its not strep A, its a different strain. ive done different antbiotics. Im sick of being sick. Is there something else I'm missing? Anything else that can be done other than antibiotics? Ive never reacted well to strep, but this is just getting silly now. the first time i got it i was delerious with fever and vomiting blood, and ive gotten progressivly less sick, and now its just a sore throat, but really, this is just getting silly. I want to be healthy again.

My friend has scabies and she has had them for about 1 month and half, supposedly. And i havent talked to her in 3 weeks. Although I was with her the 3 weeks previous. And my friends have been around her for the whole 6 weeks. I am very scared that her having scabies is going to lead to me. So, what are the chances I might get it? I dont even know because I dont talk to her anymore but its possible I could still get it right? What if i dont right now, how can i make it so i dont get it in the next couple of weeks until she knows for sure if it was scabies or not?

I always feel something is about to go wrong; that someone or some event is going to hurt me or ruin my life. For instance, I am afraid to tell others personal details about me for fear they will use that information againt me. Also, I am constantly in fear of catching diseases (including AIDS and Hepatitis) from doing normal things like going to the store or shaking someone's hand. I always act extra cautious about everything I do and say as if the slightest wrong move could be the end of me. How do I get over this?

I was given a practice exam question that i am having a bit of trouble figuring out..if anyone could help that would be great!!

Jordon is a 2 year old boy with a history of recurrent infections. At the age of 4 weeks, he developed an axillary abscess, which healed spontaneously, followed by a staphylococcal abscess of the chest wall, requiring surgical incision and a course of flucloxacillin. At the age of 7 months he was readmitted to hospital with large staphylococcal abscesses, first on his face and then on his right buttock, both were treated by surgical incision and systemic antibiotics for 10 days. In his 2 years of life he has been admitted to hospital five times with staphylococcal abscesses. His parents and older sister have no history of recurrent infections, however, his mother had a brother who died in infancy of 'some kind of bug'

Identify the disease

- I am thinking that it could be toxic shock syndrome, but i am not really sure...any help would be great!!

My friend has it and is not sure if she can go to the doctor because of insurance. Do you think a doctor is a must? Or is it able to be cured over the counter?
