Hi, There would have been a lot of questions i would have liked to ask you like from which site of the body was fnac done or which were the lymph nodes which are enlarged.

Hi, The only way for hiv prophylaxis is these drugs or you another way which might be possible is that you request that girl that she should get tested herself for hiv although this is not a sure method because she might be in her latent period,but if she is a prostitute then she might be infected from before only. The treatment cost is free at government hospitals of india or at very nominal cost and i am not sure over the cost of private hospitals. Banglore is a big city and everything will ...

Sir, I had protected sex with a women / sex worker around 37 days back. She was having periods at that time, which I was not aware about. While removing the condom, a drop of blood came on my finger (My condom was not torn or damaged). After around 20 days, I developed a small genital wart on my pence. I immediately went to a dermatologist / STD specialist and told him the entire episode correctly. He told me that it was an HPV virus and the immune system of the body will eventually clear it with passage of time. For the wart I was advised to apply a topical cram "Imiquimod" every alternate day. I was also asked to get a VDRL test. My VDRL test came "Non Reactive" after 21 days of the exposure. However as I was extremely worried about the entire edisode, I decided to get the HIV test done today i.e. after 37 days of exposure. So I got an HIV 1/2 & P24 Combo Test done from . My report has come out to be "Index Value = 0.12" "Result= Non Reactive". My question is, in your opinion how reliable is this report?

Yes that's right - the antibodies can take up to 3 months, sometimes longer, to appear but the p24 antigen assay becomes positive much sooner after exposure. Still no test is fool proof and you should get retested in 8 weeks time - just the HIV 1/2 antibodies will be enough. This is just a precaution to be doubly sure - as it stands you are HIV negative based on your test results. And yes that is a standard laboratory. Regards. ...

Last Thursday night, my wife had some breathing problem which is unusual. We went to a specialist hospital the next day and the doctor referred her to a cardio Specialist after the blood test showed that her cardio enzyme level is at 1300 where the maximum should be only 600 as per the doctor. My wife never had a heart complication before. So what does this mean.? Is this a sign of possible heart attack in future.? I'm extremely worried about her.

Elevated cardiac enzymes have several reasons, but first of all ECG and then due to clinical presentation and ecg results coronarography should be done as fast as possible to exclude miocardial infarction (heart attack) and if infarction is prooved she should take some antiishcemic medications all life long. It's very serious, don't loose time and visit cardiologist as soon as possible! ...
