Can HIV be transmitted through kissing with chapped lips, when you don’t know their status and if there are small cuts in the lips? What about other potential risks like oral sex, deep kissing (French kiss), and transmission of other STIs such as HSV1, CMV, Herpes 2, and syphilis?

My brother-in-law has a large polypoidal mass in the inguinal region. How complex is this situation and is it curable? He is 41 years old, has had the mass for 6 months, is not on any medications, and has no known allergies or serious medical history.

I sprained my ankle on Monday and now it's black and blue from the back of my ankle to my toes. Should I go to the emergency room? Do you think it's a fracture or broken?

My 5-year-old daughter jumped off her bed onto her toy box, causing the toy box to go between her legs. She was holding herself and crying, and I saw blood. I cleaned it with a towel, and it's no longer bleeding. She's no longer crying and is now sleeping. Do I need to take her to the ER?

I was bitten by a bug today. When I hit it, blood came out of it. Now, the area looks pretty swollen and red. Is this normal swelling and redness, and what should I do about it?

I have had diarrhea for the past 5 days, which has improved but is still persistent. It started with a sore throat and a runny nostril, but no more sore throat. I have been testing for Covid every day, all negative. I have isolated myself, taking electrolytes and eating bland food, but I threw up when I didn't. I had a similar issue in 1995 that went away on its own, so I was hoping this would too. What should I do?
