I had a sexual encounter with a woman I met at a nightclub, involving both protected and unprotected vaginal sex. I'm currently taking PEP for HIV prevention but am considering stopping due to side effects and reassessing the risk. Additionally, I have strep throat and am concerned about the impact of taking PEP alongside penicillin on my liver and kidneys. Should I continue PEP, and what are the potential risks of combining PEP with antibiotics?

I was treated for BV a couple of weeks ago and was recently told I am fine, except for a skin issue that was treated with steroid cream. Today, I noticed a small amount of yellow-green discharge among mostly white discharge. I want to know if this is normal or if I should be concerned. I have had discharge for a while in general, but haven't paid much attention to the color. My last pap test was in February and was normal. I haven't had sex since November 2019 and have been checked since then. I do all the recommended preventive measures like using probiotics, cotton underwear, wiping front to back, and showering after exercise. Is there anything else I can do to prevent infections?

I have mild vaginal itching with no discharge and a persistent fishy odor, especially after sex. I have had this for about a week. I have never had a pap test or pelvic exam, and I am on birth control pills. Could this be bacterial vaginosis (BV) rather than a yeast infection?

I am 11 days late for my period, and pregnancy tests have shown negative results. My periods are usually regular, but this is the first time in 6 years that they have been irregular. I have been taking prenatal vitamins and experienced very light brown discharge. What could be causing my missed period, and is the discharge normal?

If I got blood drawn and the bandaid came off after I left the clinic, can I contract HIV since the needle point was fresh on my skin?

My period has been going on for 2 weeks and it's starting to become a nuisance. Is there a reason why it might be staying for this long?
