I have COVID-19 and have had a fever for 3 days, with the highest temperature reaching 103.5°F but staying around 100-101°F. I've been using Motrin to manage the fever, and I also have a cough and chills. My breathing is normal, and I don't have any pre-existing respiratory conditions or chest pain. When should I seek medical help?

I have questions about STDs, specifically regarding chlamydia and HIV. I recently completed a course of doxycycline for chlamydia and took an HIV RNA test 15 days post exposure, which was negative. I am concerned about antibiotic resistance, the reliability of the HIV RNA test at 15 days, the duration until chlamydia is entirely eliminated, and the accuracy of syphilis tests at 6 weeks post unprotected sex. Additionally, I want to understand the concept of repeat infections and whether chlamydia can reinfect from within the body after treatment.

I'm a 47-year-old Hispanic male experiencing chest and abdominal pain, particularly during exercise and at rest, which is relieved temporarily by Mylanta. I've had a stress test on a treadmill that I failed due to severe chest pain and heart palpitations. An echo/ultrasound of the heart showed normal results, and I'm scheduled for a nuclear stress test. What could be causing this pain, and is it related to my recent back abscess surgery?
