My 9-year-old son had his tonsils and adenoids removed last December. He has tested positive for strep twice since then, once in May and again recently. Is this too frequent, and could it indicate an immune deficiency? What should I do to help prevent recurrent strep infections?

I have a small lump on my anus that is not painful, has no blood in stool or on toilet paper, and no mucus discharge. I noticed it one week ago and it was sore for about 24 hours. My bowel movements have become irregular since I started taking supplements. Should I be concerned?

My husband moved out and is living with another woman. He's a drug addict and has been making bad decisions increasingly. He's been gone for 2 months. I believe his habit has much to do with his poor decision making. He says he's open to working things out with me and hasn't asked for a divorce, but he hasn't gone to a single counseling session with me. Should I give him a little time to get back on track or is this situation hopeless?

Could I get any STD or STI from a very small amount of saliva used as lubricant, later on oil was used, with no mouth contact or only hands involved, and no vaginal contact? I am a 35-year-old male in a monogamous relationship.
