I had unprotected sex with someone who has a latex allergy and engages in multiple sexual partners. I started PEP medication within 72 hours of the encounter. I have various symptoms such as chills, headache, runny nose, cold/cough, sore throat, weakness, stomach aches, joint and back pain, and weight loss. I am concerned about the side effects of PEP medication and the possibility of HIV transmission. What should I do next, and what symptoms should alarm me to seek immediate help?

I am 6.5 weeks pregnant and experienced minimal light pink discharge after external masturbation. I also have a cyst on my cervix from a previous pregnancy and miscarriage. Is this cause for concern, and could the contractions from orgasm be related to the discharge?

My 12-year-old daughter is experiencing constant, stabbing lower abdomen pain and pain in the vulva area, which started several days ago. Walking makes the pain worse. She is not sexually active and was accidentally kicked in the vagina while playing. The pain in her stomach just started last night. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

My clitoral hood swelled up 3 times its normal size 4 days ago. It is the regular color, and there is no significant discharge. The doctor initially thought it could be due to soap, a bacterial infection, or unlubricated overstimulation from sex. She prescribed yeast infection pills and Dicloxacillin, but after 5 days, the swelling has not reduced. Is it possible that the swelling is due to a bruise from sex, and will it eventually go down on its own?
