I am 31 years old and have been concerned about my health for the past few months. I have HPV, regular periods, no unusual discharge or smell, but I've been experiencing frequent urination that comes and goes. I also found small bumps inside my vaginal wall during a self-exam. I haven't had a Pap smear in a while and am worried about cervical cancer. What should I know and do about this?

Is there any possibility of contracting diseases like HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C from a blood dropper that was placed on a basket, potentially contaminated with blood, before or after being used on me during a rapid antibody test at a pharmacy?

During deep penetration, my partner feels like something is scraping the head of his penis. This has been happening for almost a year. He is 49 years old and not using any medications. I experience a little burning after sex. Is there something inside me that could be causing this?

I had unprotected sex on the 4th day of my period last month. My regular cycle lasts for 6 days but it ended on the 4th day after sex. I took Plan B the next day. I also had protected sex 5 days after taking Plan B, after which I experienced unusual brown blood for 3 days. Is there any chance that I can be pregnant because I still haven’t got my period till now? I also feel bloated these days and get very light cramps since about a week.

My daughter forgot to restart birth control after completing her period. It has been 5 days. She is 16 years old, her last cycle started on April 21, and she had unprotected sex on April 29. She just restarted her pill today, but she should have started on Sunday. How high is her risk for pregnancy, and what should she do to prevent it?
