Avatar m tn I had unprotected sex in Latin America (once, and regretting ever since)-- 3 weeks later I had a urinary tract infection and figured out that I had Candida (Penile Yeast Infection)-- but the weird thing that was discovered was also Acinetobacter spp. Any ideas of my risk for HIV is amplified if this bacteria was found? Next week I will take my first HIV test (at 8 weeks)-- but am worried by this rare bacteria (which causes infections in immunocompromised patients). Thanks so much.

Avatar m tn Hello, I was in Latin America and had sex with a sex worker (both oral and vaginal). I'd say the vaginal portion lasted less then two minutes and I did ejaculate inside her (with the condom on). I don't believe that the condom tore or anything like that. Am I at risk for HIV or any other STD? I am very concerned about this. Also, if I get tested, would waiting six weeks between the incident and the test be sufficient? Thanks very much.
Avatar f tn 3 in every 5 children in America are obese. This has all come about in the span of what? 30 years?

Can we really not figure this one out and correct it? Could bad parenting be a factor? What say you?

Avatar n tn Soaking up the sun on vacation in Latin America. Could not be a better place to detox from that stuff! I was doing between 160-240MG daily for about a year. I am only 21 and am so happy I have made it this far. RLS is subsiding but still preventing me from getting good nights of sleep. Valium during the day has helped to relax me alot too. The good thing is that I am here for another 8 days so when I return back home to the US I will have 15 days sober!
