I am 27 years old and recently received a positive IGG result for HSV2 (1.79) with a negative supplemental test. I have no symptoms and am in a monogamous relationship with a partner who is negative for both HSV strains. I was sexually abused 13 years ago but have never had an outbreak or symptoms. Is there a chance this was a false positive, and how should I interpret these results?

What are the chances of getting HIV after touching a condom that was taken out after insertion and then touching my foreskin, especially considering I took PEP within one hour of exposure? Additionally, what other infections could cause symptoms like dry cough, headache, low-grade fever, upset stomach, night sweats, swollen lymph node in the left armpit, and stomach noises, and what should I do next?

I had a baby almost 10 weeks ago and started bleeding about a month ago, which I thought was my period. The bleeding has continued for about 3 weeks and is now heavier with fresh blood and cramping. I am 25 years old, not on birth control, and had a baby 10 weeks ago. I have had chronic UTIs and have been on antibiotics for the past 6 months. What could be causing this prolonged bleeding, and what should I do?

What are the odds of getting pregnant when taking St. John's Wort along with birth control pills? I am taking an estrogen/progesterone combination pill for 6 months and started taking St. John's Wort (700 mg) since July 2 for anxiety and depression. I have had unprotected sex since starting the supplement. When should I take a pregnancy test, and are there any side effects if I am pregnant while taking St. John's Wort?

I've had lower abdominal pain on and off for two days, which has started to get a little worse and more regular. I ate some Thai food and that seemed to set it off again. The pain is achy and feels like I have to hold my abdomen as I walk. I've had a heating pad on for a couple of hours and did exercise this morning, which aggravated it a little. I feel bloated and had a lot of diarrhea yesterday. I took a Covid test and it was negative. Today I haven't really gone to the bathroom yet. What could be causing this pain and what can I do to alleviate it?

Do I have pregnancy symptoms? I've been extremely tired, certain foods make me feel sick, and my last period was on May 3rd, but I had light bleeding recently. I took five pregnancy tests, some were faint positives, and one was negative. I haven't been taking any medications or vitamins, and I don't exercise. I've had unprotected sex in the last month.
