I had a recent sexual partner contact me saying they could potentially have herpes. I have had cold sores in the past but have not had any for the past few years nor any while I was intimate with them. Could I have spread HSV-1 to my partner?

Yesterday, I engaged in frottage with a massage girl. It was not very intense, but there was a chance of my penis head coming into contact with her vagina. Is there any chance of HIV transmission?

What causes miscarriages and stillbirths, how common are they in pregnancies, and is there anything that can be done to reduce the risk of losing the baby?

I am feeling discomfort in my lower abdomen, and my period should start in 9 days. My last period was on June 6th. I am 30 years old, and the pain is in the center of my lower abdomen, feeling like a gassy pain with no other symptoms or spotting/bleeding. We had external sex during and right after my period, which is why I am concerned about pregnancy. What could this discomfort be, and should I be worried about pregnancy?

I'm currently 10 weeks and 5 days pregnant. I've been taking 600mg of Gabapentin 3 times daily for chronic pain since May 2017, but I've been trying to reduce the dose frequency since finding out about the pregnancy. I'm concerned about the potential effects on the baby and I don't have insurance. What should I do about my medication and prenatal care?
