I had a night 11 days ago in which I slept with a stranger and was very intoxicated. We used protection, but I don’t remember if there were other instances of intercourse or if my partner took advantage of me. I woke up bleeding with a cut and went to a clinic. I am worried about possibly contracting HIV and have been feeling a dry scratchy throat, tiredness, swollen lymph nodes, and slight thrush. I have a HIV RNA test scheduled for tomorrow, 12 days post incident. Will I be able to trust the results of the test, and how worried should I be that this encounter caused infection?

I had intercourse with someone 10 days ago using a condom, and we're worried about the condom breaking. Would she know if she's pregnant already?

I have been experiencing continued pain, itching, and fever, along with vaginal bleeding and pressure in the pelvic area. I have been treated with antibiotics for possible infections but symptoms persist. I also have a large ovarian cyst and am late for my period. What could be causing these symptoms and what should I do next?

I have a fishy odor discharge. It is grey and thin, with a fishy smell both inside and out. I experienced a little itching that went away, but no swelling, soreness, pain, or burning sensation with urination. I am currently on Diane 35, Aciclovir, and recently took an antibiotic shot. I am 25 years old. What could be the cause of this discharge and what can I do about it?

I finished my period last Sunday and experienced severe pelvic pain (heat, stabbing) on Sunday. I visited my GP and was prescribed a 5-day course of antibiotics and Ponstan for pain. I am currently on day 5 of the medication, but I still feel very sore and sick. Is this 'normal'?

I am 12 weeks pregnant and have purchased mosquito repellants containing lemongrass oil, geraniol oil, peppermint oil, cinnamon oil, geranium oil, and citronella oil. Although their efficacy is less than DEET, are these safe to use on my skin during pregnancy?
