I may have caught an STD, took Viread?

I am a 43 year old male and I feel so stupid. I got drunk in Las Vegas with some friends at a bachelor party, and ended up having sex with a “massage parlor” worker later in the night, a girl from Thailand. She gave me oral sex and then we had vaginal sex. I didn’t touch her vagina with my fingers. Earlier in the evening, i had trimmed myself in my pubic area and had a slight abrasion, no bleeding. I used a condom with her, and she even checked to see if it was intact, it was. She then wiped me down toward the tip of my penis with a Kleenex. I then went to the bathroom and urinated. About 6 hours later, my penis slightly felt discomfort after I peed again.
Now i am scared that i caught something, this all happened 4 days ago. The next day after the sex, I took a pill of Viread (tenofovir) and took it for four days. Viread is for chronic hepatitis and also used sometimes for HIV. I read that some people used it for post or pre exposure prophylaxis to HIV (as a part of Truvada). I was given some Viread pills from a close friend who actually had extras because he does have chronic hepatitis. What are my chances of having caught a disease or HIV? Do I need to worry about this because I am very worried. What should i do doctor? Do I need to be on meds or do I need to get tested? Thank you!

I have pimples that look like tiny worms, tried ivermectin?

Help me please! I pulled this out of my face. It looked like a pimple. I have other pimples that now look like tiny worms in my face, arms, and legs. I expelled one 2 inches long in my in my stool. It was flat with dark then light square pattern. I have tried ivermectin in desperation. But I don’t know if that’s what I should be taking and how long to take it. They came out my eyes too, looked like little hairs and larvae. I had slight edema in my ankle and sometimes feel stickyness on my skin. I keep getting things inside me. I was cleaning a dirty stove today and a red dot attatched to my leg, that turned into a worm after I tried to scrape it off. It then had little ones spread around it. I’m really scared. Please help me!

My son was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 2a1 he is also getting a “constricted’ feeling in his throat. Is this normal?

Good day. I have a son, age 14. He was diagnosed with Charcot Marie Tooth disease type 2a1 about 8 years ago – we did genetic testing, and it is the MFN2 gene. he is wheelchair bound, with little use of his hands and legs. However, for the last few days he is also getting a “constricted’ feeling in his throat. Is this ‘normal’ for this disease? It does not last very long – about 5-10 minutes. I am obviously a bit concerned. Regards.

I am 21, do I need a Pap smear test?

Lately I have been having weird discharge and I’m worried. At first my discharge changed to being heavy and watery with a weird odor then just dry and uncomfortable meaning I stopped having a discharge. Now it heavy once again with the same odor. I did go to a doctor yesterday and was offered a Pap smear exam but because of my fears and backed out. Initially I believed I had a yeast infection so that’s what I told the doctor and because I didn’t want to do the Pap smear he just decided to give me a one dose medication for a yeast infection. However today I’m not so sure I made the right decision. I have noticed a change in my discharge since taking the pill, however when I went to the bathroom and wiped a noticed a brown streak in my discharge. I immediately start to panic and reading up on YouTube only increased my fears. I am honestly worried sick.. to the point of breaking down. I need some advice before i approach my sister. P.S My period started 14 days ago (last for 7 days). Also, noticed that I barely ever get aroused and when I do I don’t get “wet”. 21 year old virgin. I would have mentioned a lot of these things to my doctor but he was so fast paced, somewhat in a hurry that I forgot. Help me.

I take clozaril, is it dangerous to have MAC anesthesia in combination with this medication?

Hello!! I have a question about anesthesia. I need to get surgery on my foot to cut down a bump on a bone. The doctor said it’s only going to be a fifty minute procedure and I will be able to leave the hospital the same day. I take the medication clozaril for a sleep problem (even though it is normally prescribed for schizophrenia), and I was just wondering if it is dangerous to have MAC anesthesia in combination with this medication. Is it better to use a certain anesthetic than others when in combination with it? I was told by my doctor that I just shouldn’t take it the morning of the operation but I just wanted to get a second opinion because I have never had surgery before and am a bit nervous about it. I am 41 years old, female, weigh 135 pounds, am 5’7, and clozaril (200 mg a day) is the only medication I take. Thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

I received a chest x-ray, chest CT scan with contrast dye and an MRI would these tests show breast cancer?

Hi. I am a 41 year old woman.
Last year I was hospitalised with a severe bacterial infection. I received a chest x-ray, chest CT scan with contrast dye and an MRI. I also had a follow up chest CT scan with dye a few months after leaving hospital. This was September 2016.

My question is, would these tests show breast cancer, and secondly, would it be risky to have a mammogram so soon after these tests that use radiation .
Thanks.

Creatinine is 1.1 and my TSH is 6.18 does this indicate a thyroid problem?

Just received my bloodwork test results. My BUN is 25 , my Creatinine is 1.1 and my TSH is 6.18. I’m taking 50 mcg of Levothyroxine. Does this indicate a thyroid problem or something wrong with my kidney. Last year everything was normal and I’ve been taking Levothyroxin for around 8 years. Does my dose simply need to be increased or am I in big trouble..
