I'm 16 weeks pregnant and haven't gained any weight since my 12-week appointment. I had a lot of nausea in the first trimester and lost some weight. Is this normal, and should I eat more to ensure the baby is getting enough nutrients?

Can I get HIV transmission through nail cuticles and torn skin, getting in contact with vaginal fluid? I had a contact with an escort with no penetrative sex, just touching her body and noticed some torn cuticles on my hand. I am worrying if I touched her vaginal fluid which may have come in contact with my torn nail cuticles.

My vagina recently started itching really bad and I wasn’t sure if I should see a doctor. It’s only been for now two 1/2 days. The itchiness comes and goes and is pretty random times. It’s a little red, but I’ve been awful about leaving it alone. I have Leukemia at 6. What could be causing the itching and what should I do?

I've been experiencing yellowish discharge and a weird odor from my vagina for about 3 weeks, which has been constant. The discharge is of moderate consistency, not too thick or too liquidy. My periods are regular, and I had my last period 29 days ago, starting a new cycle today. I've only had oral sex with one partner in the past 3 months, and I don't have any unusual cramps, itchiness, or other symptoms. I've never had an STD screen or been diagnosed with an STD. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

I'm 4 weeks 3 days pregnant and had some light brown spotting yesterday, which turned red today. I don't have any cramps, and the spotting is not enough to fill a panty liner. I'm concerned about the possibility of a healthy pregnancy after this spotting. What could be the cause of the spotting, and should I be worried?
