I have had acid reflux for a long time and recently experienced worsening symptoms during a stressful period. I also have sleep apnea, a dry cough, sore throat, and post-nasal drip. My cough is worse during the day and goes away at night. I had a chest x-ray, EKG, and bloodwork, all of which were clear. Could this be GERD or sinus issues, and is it common to have a cough during the day but not at night?

My boyfriend has small bumps on the head of his penis, and we recently used a new brand of condoms called One. He's 18, experiences itching, and is not taking any medicines. The bumps appeared after using the condoms, and both his penis and my genital area smell like the condom and have mild itching. What do you think is going on?

My mother-in-law's blood pressure is 83 over 43. Should she be taken to the ER? She takes high blood pressure medicine but hasn't taken any extra. She just got out of the hospital yesterday for a fall but everything checked out OK and they sent her home. They did say that her blood pressure was dropping whenever she stood up and that is why she is so weak in her legs and is falling. She also was dehydrated.

Hey doctor, I was previously concerned about my HIV status and was advised to take a test after 28 days. I took an HIV Duo 4th Generation test after 22 days. Can you review my attached report?

I had an exposure at a massage parlor around 6 months ago where oil was poured on my penis, and a handjob was given, followed by touching inside a vagina and immediately touching my penis. I had sex with my partner 11 days after the exposure. My partner has been experiencing constant diarrhea, a red rash on her back and chest for the past 2 weeks. I have had multiple 10-panel tests, including HIV 4th gen, HIV RNA, gonorrhea, herpes 1,2, Hep A,B,C, and syphilis, all coming back negative at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months post-exposure. Can I completely relax with my 6-month negative tests and 100% consider that I am not infected with HIV and didn't transmit it to my partner?

Recently, I had sex with an escort. The condom broke just before insertion, and we immediately changed it. Could this have exposed me to HIV?
