I had a protected sexual encounter 3.5 weeks ago and have been experiencing low-grade fever and mouth ulcers, possibly due to stress. I tested for HIV at 22 days post-encounter with a rapid test, which came back negative. How reliable is this test, and should I be concerned about other potential risks or need for further testing?

I have occasional pains about one inch above my belly button and 3-4 inches to the left, and I occasionally feel nauseated. I've had severe constipation for about 3 weeks, with hard stools that often clog the commode. Additionally, I experience strong urges to urinate and occasional urinary incontinence, which seem to be related to my constipation. Could these issues be related to my constipation, and what can I do to alleviate them?

I just discovered a small, hard, painful lump at the base of my middle finger on the palm side. It is not visible to the eye and was found by massaging my palm. I don’t have any difficulty moving the finger, but it is painful to hold the steering wheel or my dogs’ leashes. Could this be a neuroma or a ganglion cyst, and what should I do about it?
