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?

I had sex on May 12th using a condom, taking birth control pills (Sprintec), and took Plan B within 72 hours. My period was delayed and I experienced irregular bleeding and spotting. I took a qualitative blood pregnancy test on June 10th, which was negative. I'm concerned about the accuracy of the test and the side effects like irregular bleeding and white discharge. Is the test accurate, and what can I expect regarding my bleeding and discharge?
