I work on a marine towing vessel and share a shower and toilet with someone who I think has Hepatitis C. I'm concerned about the risk of contracting the virus from him, especially since I have athlete's foot and think I have open areas on my feet that could be vulnerable to infection or virus entry. Additionally, I've been feeling tired lately, and I'm not sure if it's related. What precautions should I take, and what are the risks of contracting Hepatitis C in this scenario?

I have been using earpods at work in 35-degree conditions, and I'm experiencing pain in one ear, half of my head hurting on the same side, and a swollen lymph node near my ear. Is this likely due to ear infection caused by earpods and sweating, and what should I do or buy at the pharmacy?

I had sexual interaction with a sex worker involving gentile-to-gentile rubbing while both of us were wearing wet underwear due to our gentile fluids. I recently got a cut on my genitalia from shaving and have developed a mouth ulcer and sore throat. Am I at risk of HIV, and are these symptoms early signs of HIV?

My friend, who travels frequently for work, believes he has C. diff and needs a stool test and antibiotics. He hasn't signed up with a new doctor yet and is leaving for another state soon. Is this something urgent care can handle, or would telehealth be an option?

I’m experiencing bloody diarrhea that started last night. I had a colonoscopy three days ago. There is no abdominal pain, fever, chills, or lesions on the anus. The blood is bright red and appears only during bowel movements. I am 58 years old, have no medical conditions, and am not taking any medications. This is the first time this has happened. What could be the cause and what should I do?
