My dad just had back surgery and is wanting to take Allegra to prevent coughing. Is this okay, given that he is 73 years old, has taken hydrocodone-acetaminophen, and is on a high blood pressure medication?

I took a HIV test 93 days after exposure using an antibody finger stick, which was negative. I also took two 4th generation tests at 8 and 11 weeks, and three other antibody tests at 5, 7, and 9 weeks. Is this conclusive? Additionally, can HIV be transmitted through a lancet prick? I am also concerned about potential transmission of other STDs like syphilis and hepatitis C through oral sex, and whether my symptoms of nerve tingling and joint pain could be related to these conditions.

For the past week, I've been noticing something vibrating in my stomach right below my ribcage on the right side of my body. There is no pain, and each vibration lasts for about 10 seconds or less, occurring several times a day with intervals of 20 seconds to 1 minute between them. I can easily feel the vibrations by touching my stomach. I am not sure if this is concerning or what this could be. Could you please advise?
