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?

I might be pregnant. I did not use any contraceptives but took Plan B. My last period started on September 10. I am 18 years old and have no other medical history. My menstrual cycle is 26 days, and the last unprotected sex was on September 15. I experienced bleeding from September 23 until now, which is now brown. My period was supposed to come on October 5, but I took a pregnancy test today which came negative. Is this normal, and what should I do?

I think I have a yeast infection. I'm 20 years old, and I've been experiencing itching in the vaginal area and around my butt, with slightly more discharge than normal and it being slightly thicker. I had a normal pap test in January, I'm on birth control (Lo Loestrin), and I've had no sexual activity for the last two months. What should I do to confirm and treat this?
