I received a phone call from my doctor today saying that I showed positive for HSV 2 at 1.79. How likely is it that that can be a false-positive? I have never had any symptoms and this is the first time I've been tested for herpes.

I have had the same partner for almost 2 years and the last 4 months, within minutes after intercourse, he develops a bump (not in the same area every time) that itches and takes a week or less to go away. Why is this all the sudden happening? I’ve been tested and came back fine after my pap. I don’t get anything or have any discomfort, but even with a condom, if my fluids touch his balls or his skin around his private area, he develops something.

I am a 30-year-old mother with herpes for 11 years. I have noticed that after engaging in oral sex, my partners develop symptoms such as mouth bumps, dizziness, abdominal/back pain, nausea, neck/throat pain, and a bad cough. Some also experience changes in penis size and appearance. I have had an STD screening in 2016, which showed only herpes. I am concerned about the recurring symptoms and whether they are related to my herpes. What could be causing these symptoms, and is there a way to manage or cure this issue?

Two weeks out of coronary bypass surgery, my husband's Hemoglobin is 8.9 and Hematocrit is 28.6. Should I take him to the ER? He also has kidney disease and heart disease.

I have knee pain due to a torn meniscus repair and arthritis. My insurance, Blue Cross, did not cover the injections for my knee. The only thing that helps on certain days is Percocet, which was previously prescribed but is no longer available. I have used 5 mg Percocet with acetaminophen before and have seen a doctor about my arthritis at Orlin and Cohen in Lynbrook, NY. I have been prescribed Percocet a few times over the past years, but not anymore. What else can I do for my knee pain?
