Sometime in August this year, I did an HIV test and came out negative. In October, I did another one, but this time it came back different. There was a clear line like the one I saw in August, and then there was another faint line that cut off in the middle unlike the first line. Does that mean I'm positive or should I do another HIV test?

I have had severe headaches, exhaustion, and stomach problems with periodic muscle stiffness on and off for 3 years. Episodes can last from a few days to several months, during which time I am unable to function, staying on the couch. I have been tested for lupus, MS, and other autoimmune diseases with a blood test several years ago, and everything checked out fine. I am wondering about hormone levels, food allergies, or chronic headache syndrome. My doctor thinks it might be a somatoform disorder related to depression, but I have the episodes with or without anti-depression meds, which seem to work fine.

I am 21 years old and have been masturbating regularly for the past 3 years. Recently, I visited a prostitute for the first time but was unable to ejaculate despite trying for 15 minutes and receiving a blow job for 1 minute. I am concerned about this and also want to know if masturbation can cause pain in the knee or reduce sports performance.
