napaparanoid lang ako nung last time na nag do kami ng gf ko meron syang singaw na maliit at na-bj nya ako possible kayang magka herpes ako?

 

 

the only way to know for sure is to have your gf`s singaw checked out by a physician.. a dermatologist will suffice..

hi doctors,

 

Just a question on HIV. I often have sex with multiple partners, all of which are females by the way...and I always use condom on all of them...never did it live with any of them. Do I still need to worry about catching HIV? or do I still need to have myself checked for it once in a while?

 

Thanks,

Floyd

using condom only decreases the chance of getting HIV, one study shows that using condom reduces the risk by 85%. That sounds excellent, but it is not. If you persist in sleeping regularly with someone who is positive or with numbers of unknown people who are possibly positive, then eventually, condom or no condom, you may get AIDS. Vaginal or anal sex using a condom is not a low-risk or no-risk activity. It carries a medium risk at best.

 

The most effective way to prevent sexual transmission of HIV is to abstain, or for two people who are not infected to be faithful to one another, but then again, the decision is still yours to make. Have yourself tested once in a while to see if you are HIV positive or not.

i would suggest you get a check-up with an ophthalmologist to be sure. my wife, an ophtha herself, usually advises her patients that it usually takes about 2 weeks for 1st time users to adjust to using glasses. with that said, i still say get a check-up coz they still might have given you the wrong grade of lenses

anong amoy ? may discharge ba ? ikaw lang ba talaga partner niya and vice-versa ? if you want to be sure kung ano talaga ang cause ng amoy, consult an ob-gyn for proper evaluation and management (papsmear ,gram stain,etc)

skin question...

 

my best friend have this dry skin thing on her elbow, index finger (just before the nail), foot, and some spot on her legs, there are times she had to scratch it really hard to relieve herself from the itch but eventually she wounds herself by doing so. Once the wound is healed the itch goes back and the cycle continues. What kind of skin disease is this? She tried katinko, dermalin, and trosyd but all they do is just dry the skin and the itch returns after a week or two... She's so shy to go to a dermatologist with her skin condition is there anything you guys can recommend for a treatment? As far as I can remember this happened after she went to boracay

most probably fungal infection but then again she must see a dermatologist to be sure....

Docs, I had originally posted this in the Watching your BP forum.

Thanks in advance.

I'm 45 years old and have been taking a combination of Lipitor 10mg (Atorvastatin) & Concor 5mg (Bisoprolo fumarate) for the past 8 years now and I am able to maintain my BP in the normal levels. Liver test along with other monitoring tests done every 6-8 months show the results are within normal ranges. I try to do my daily 30 min cardio exercise whenever I can but not as frequently as required. I go to my doctor for my monthly BP checkups and prescription for the drugs. I have been told that these medication are to be taken for life.

 

Doc, my question is can I stop taking these medicaton right away and just watch my diet and do regular exercise?
