I had mutual masturbation 24 days ago and am worried about potential HIV exposure. My partner ejaculated on my hand and some splashed on his stomach. I washed my hands thoroughly, but he later touched me with his possibly semen-contaminated hand. Could this have allowed HIV to enter through my urethra or be absorbed by the foreskin?

My blood pressure reading was 154/105 a few days ago and today it's 143/105. Should I see a doctor about this? I take bipolar II meds but I've taken them for several years so I don't think they would interfere with my blood pressure.

I have a small rash that shows up occasionally and has been recurring for years, usually after my period or after shaving. The rash started last Friday and is located in the pubic area near the top part of my vagina. It was swollen initially but is no longer swollen, though it remains tender. I have been using triple antibiotic ointment, which seems to be helping. What could be causing this rash, and what treatment options are available?

I took Temazepam at 10:15pm and woke up at 12:16 am, unable to get back to sleep. I missed my Valdoxan 25 mg at 9:00pm and my Citalopram tablet at 9:30 am yesterday morning. I have been using Temazepam with Valdoxan but recently reduced from two tablets to one, and started Citalopram 8 days ago. I saw a doctor at Surrey Hills Medical Centre who suggested stopping Valdoxan. I am taking these medications for insomnia and possibly anxiety. What can I do to improve my sleep?

How long have you had the conjunctivitis? Have you used any medication for it? Have you seen a doctor about the conjunctivitis? Is there anything else in your medical history that the doctor should know?
