I had a blood and urine test for herpes 9 days after receiving oral sex, which came back negative. I have been experiencing burning and itching symptoms for two months, and now I have a pimple-like sore under my testicles. Is the test result accurate after 9 days, and what should I do next?

I have been struggling with acne for the past 12 years, particularly on my cheeks. I have tried various treatments including Tarana (a birth control medication), skin care products, and Russian Peel sessions. My doctor recently prescribed Retin A Tretinoin 0.025%, but I haven't started using it yet. Can I use CeraVe SA cleanser before applying Retin A, and should I avoid using a moisturizer with it? How long does it usually take for Retin A to show results, and does it help with acne scarring, particularly pitted scars?

I am feeling extreme anxiety and have been crying a lot. I feel very overwhelmed and need someone to talk to. I have ongoing anxiety and depression, and I would like to speak with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I have been feeling overwhelmed by the loss of my Nonnee, who died in 2019, and I live with my mom who I don't feel connected to, and my brother is emotionally unavailable. I am 21 years old, unemployed, and will be back in school in January for a bachelor's in psychology. I used to play soccer but had an accident that makes me too afraid to play anymore. I mainly enjoy playing video games like The Sims 4. What can I do to feel better?

I bought a male masturbator from a shop and used it after cleaning it with still water and tissue paper. I am now experiencing anxiety due to concerns that the shop might have sold a used product and that I could have contracted HIV. Is it possible to get HIV from using a masturbator in this manner?
