I recently had unprotected sex multiple times and took Plan B within a few hours. My last period started on December 12th, and I'm worried I might have already ovulated, making Plan B ineffective. I weigh about 180 pounds and am 5'8", so I'm concerned about the effectiveness of Plan B for my weight. Should I consider taking Ella or starting birth control pills immediately? Additionally, I'm on my parents' insurance plan and want to keep this private. Will insurance companies notify my parents, and are there affordable alternatives like IUDs?

I have hives and am using topical steroids. I want to know if untreated HIV can progress to AIDS and how long that process takes.

My vaginal discharge has always been normal, following a typical cycle. Recently, I keep getting thick, rubbery discharge 1-3 days before ovulation. It's mostly clear or white-ish, but sometimes has a brown or pink spot. I'm not sexually active, have been tested for STIs, and there's no foul smell. It's not yeast or bacterial overgrowth. I have a uterine fibroid. Should I be concerned?

I have been tested positive twice for bacterial vaginosis (BV) and it keeps reoccurring. I’ve been trying to take boric acid suppositories and probiotics to get rid of it. I did take the medication that was prescribed but it came back shortly after. Trying to do all I can but it’s uncomfortable at this point. How can I manage this condition without insurance and explain it to my boyfriend to ensure better hygiene and understanding?

I am 10 days after my last period and still have 2 weeks until my next one starts, but I started bleeding yesterday and am still bleeding today. Is this something I should be concerned about?
