I had anal sex with a gay man three days ago. He used a condom, but it was initially put on backward and then flipped to the correct way. He also used gel on the condom and fingered me before penetration. I am concerned about potential exposure to his precum on the outside of the condom. Additionally, I found a small tear in my anal region after the encounter, which bled slightly and stung during a shower. What is the risk of HIV transmission in this situation?

I have been experiencing tongue twitching, specifically a small area to the right of the tip of my tongue that feels like someone is flicking it. I am concerned that this could be ALS. The twitching is not constant and has been coming and going. Should I be overly concerned? Additionally, I have had muscle twitches around my body that have returned today.

I have a question about tapering off a medicine I’m currently taking. I’ve been taking .25mg of alprazolam once a day for about 5 weeks. It has helped, but I’m nervous about tapering off. Are you currently using any other medications? How old are you? Do you have any other medical history the Doctor should know?

I have been taking Metamucil and Miralax for a few days and have been passing gas but still experiencing some stomach pain. How long should I expect this to last and what can I do to alleviate the discomfort?
