I recently tested positive for Trichomoniasis. Does this mean I have HIV? What are the symptoms of HIV, and how long does it take to get the results of an HIV test?

I have been using NuvaRing as directed for over a year, but this past month I left it in for 2 days longer than normal due to stress. After taking it out, I had sex 3 days later and took Plan B. I've been feeling crampy and bloated but did not have a period during my off week. Did I most likely mess up my schedule, or what is your opinion?

I had an embarrassing bowel movement during sexual intercourse for the first time. I am concerned and would like to know what could be the cause and how to prevent it from happening again.

I have been taking combination pills for a while, but the timing last month was a bit off, though I have taken one every day. I had unprotected sex a day before my withdrawal bleeding was supposed to come, but it didn't. I took Plan B within 48 hours and had spotting on the same day. Does that mean Plan B worked? I still haven't gotten my withdrawal period yet. Is the irregularity new, and how old are you? When did your last period start and end? Have you experienced any recent changes in stress or weight? Is there anything else in your medical history the Doctor should know?

I believe I have a vaginal infection. It has been recurring for the last couple of weeks. My doctor prescribed clotrimazole, but it caused too much burning, so I stopped after three applications and switched to Canes Oral yesterday. I am 74 years old, a widow for the past three years with no sexual partners. I also have an underactive thyroid, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, all of which are being treated by my doctor. What can I do to treat and prevent this vaginal infection?
