Avatar n tn Even then, I have been taking Dolcet daily as soon as I wake up, for pain management. I have recently been advised to have another injection, this time with SynviscOne, which I have agreed to do this week. I will post my experience on SynviscOne soon.
Avatar m tn You could take an open wound and rub it against HIV-infected blood, semen, poop, whatever, and you wouldn't get infected; the air degrades the delicate virus' protein shell, which is needs to infect. HIV can only be transmitted when it is directly inserted, via sex, needles, breastfeeding, etc, into the body.
Avatar n tn No risk.
Avatar n tn I have carbohydrate malabsorption (otherwise known as dissacharidase defficiency). Both are just fancy names for the fact that my body doesn't make enough enzymes to break down and properly absorb carbohydrates. Like ruffmagruff, i developed this out of the blue after having a bad stomach bug. took about 14 months of being pretty miserable before we figured out what what up. It was a total fluke: i wanted to lose about 10 lbs so i tried the south beach diet.
Avatar f tn Blood sugars averaging 160 mg/dl are high and 309 mg/dl extremely high. Better control and management of your diabetes is needed. Do you know what these are and what you need to do? In any case, if you blood sugars remain above 200 mg/dl I suggest you go to the nearest ER for treatment.

Avatar n tn The AIDS websites can scare you not have intercourse anymore. The symptoms for AIDS are also the same symptoms as some other infections. The little sores went away but if I start on my Valtrex like it was given to me in January I may not have these small out breaks. I will pick up the prescription today after I thought about eventhough I haven't had any gential symptoms of HSV-2 if it's in my blood I should take my medicine.
Avatar n tn I had a gash along the crease between my index finger and thumb, and although it was a few days old, the scab had not completely formed over the deeper skin layers (there was still some moisture on the wound). I was distracted because I was talking on the phone at the time, but I shook hands with my friend who had just been released from the hospital (after he spent a month recovering from collapsed lung and pneumonia--when he also found out that he has AIDS).
Avatar f tn I had an anterior hip replacement done in December. Last weekend the incision started coming open. I went to the doc this morning and he put me on antibiotics and wants me to go to a PT and have him do wound management 3 or 4 times a week. I talked to a friend who is a PT and she doesn't know what he's talking about. Can't I take care of the wound myself? It's kind of embarrassing having to hold my big fat gut out of the way so they can see the little hole right in the fold.
Avatar f tn I was questioning again and again because i called up an aids helpline and told them my situation and they told me i was at a possible risk as hiv can be transmitted through an open wound and mine was bleeding and there could have been a possible contact. Sorry to bug you again and again because i got reely paranoid and almost started crying.One last question can swollen lymph nodes occur after 11 months of getting HIV.
Avatar f tn m not sure if I need to see an Allergist, ENT, Gastroenterologist, Internist or who because about an hour after eating a carbohydrate I seem to get inflammation and swelling on my right side only...starting in my right sinuses, behind right eye, right ear, right throat, right lymph gland in neck, and going in a straight line down the right side of my chest and down to my right kidney. If I only eat meat, salads, and non starchy vegetables, water and plain tea, I don't have any symptoms.
Avatar m tn Yesterday,I was in a bar.But two men suddenly fought .A man was injured ,his blood splashed my lip's wound and the blood also got into my nose,If the man is the AIDS patient ,Am I risk? His blood just left the body to splash my wound ! So I am worry.
Avatar n tn Last night I was drunk in pub and this morning after I woke up I realized that at the joint of my right arm, there is a long but shallow wound about one to two centimeters long, but as u know I was drunk, I didn’t know how I got it. I am very panic and obsessive at the moment that I currently seek for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar n tn I spoke with my doctor and they said we might need to see a pain management specialist. I think she released me because she is a wound care doctor and the actal wound on the surface is healed but that is only a guess. I think there are some office politics going on as well. The swelling from the DVT is not because there is another one but because at the time I had them it was three very large DVT that caused permanet valve damage.
