Dear Dr. I had an sexual intercourse with an escort nearly 7 months ago..It last only 2 minutes..I used condom But I’m not sure I have safe sex..İn these term I have several Anti-Hiv test. After 37,65,88,112,120,150,180,189 and 200. All of them was negative..I attached my last test result..I’d like to ask you…I’m totally free from hiv or need re-test until for example one years..Thanks for your help..
I am 27 years old female.
I have been suffering of imbalance, exhaustion, lack of focus and nervousness…and I have also been suffering from pain in my right area of stomach comes and goes for a while.
So I made a complete blood test to check up, and the result shows lack of white blood cells (3.4) and high lymphocytes percentage (60%).
With this comment: mild leukopenia. relative lymphocytosis with few reactive lymphocytes.
So please I want to know what does it means and do I have to make any further tests?
70 year old female Asian
Very low blood pressure 80/50 I am on blood med for high blood.
Dizzy I am ,vomiting.
My PSA and free PSA have been rising but not consistently.
Had a biopsy 2 years ago that was negative.
PSA 6 months ago was 6.5, 2 months ago dropped to 4.35, and yesterday was 8.7.
Also had free PSA ratio done yesterday with was 8.6%.
No urinary tract issues I’m aware of or prostatitis symptoms.
Besides cancer, what can cause free PSA to be so low and PSA serum to
bounce around so dramatically?
Not taking testosterone or anything else. Prostate size is small – @25.

Concerned about my daughter’s recent blood work. My daughter is Caucasian, 7 years old, about 50″ tall, and 54 lbs. She is taking Vyvanse 20mg for ADHD and Zarontin for CAE. She just started the Zarontin early February. Recently she hasn’t been sleeping well. She has swollen lymph nodes on her neck (one has been there for a while, and she is due for an Ultra Sound of neck soon). Her PCP did some blood work yesterday, and some of the results make me wonder what is going on with me baby? Today she was sleepy most of the day.
The numbers that have me the most concerned are:
ANC (absolute Neutrophil count) – 1.0 Low
WBC (White Blood Cell) – 2.6 Low [yet was 4.8 three weeks ago] -what can cause this drop?
Globulin 1.9 Low
Monocyte 19.0% High
What can cause this deviation from the normal ranges? and the big drop in WBC?

Hi, I am a 25 year old male. I have been very fatigued for about a week and having numbness in my left arm and chest pain and shortness of breath. About three days ago I felt like I was going to pass out. I had time to go to a urgent care today and they advised going to the ER. The ER did a EKG and said they think I had a minor heart attack/myocardial infarction. My chest X-ray and cardiac enzymes were normal so they said I am stable now and can return to normal activity but to follow up with a cardiologist. Is this correct or is the EKG just affected by being nervous about being in the ER
Can you help me read my MRI arthrogram I am waiting for the results but I m impatient and would like to have a general idea of what to expect
hello, recently i had an acute EBV antibody test done (not the titer test), and my results were all negative. my question is this, Can i rule out a chronic active EBV infection with my results? do i need more testing?
I’ve just turned 40 and have advanced glaucoma. I am taking Duotrav. The minute I started taking it I became very tired, then started having confused episodes. My weight was jumping around, I’d eat 1000 calories in a day and gain 2 or 3 pounds. Been on it 10 weeks. I’ve now got swollen feet, knees and thighs. It is getting worse, this morning I pulled an empty wheelie bin 15 metres and became out of breath and dizzy. My chest felt tight too. It has gone now, but I can’t see my opthalmologist for a few days. A few weeks ago, I had a sudden attack where I felt like the room was spinning violently and I ended up on the floor in a cold sweat.
Is this a medical emergency or should I just wait and see my opthalmologist? I live a long way from the nearest hospital and it would take a lot of energy to travel to it, but I have children and don’t want to risk my health.
I was fit before I started on this medicine, I ran a marathon less than 4 months ago.
The medication I take for my advanced glaucome is Duotrav, I also take cod liver oil, 200mg of ferrous sulphate, a multi vitamin and 5000iu of vit D3. I’m 5ft 4in and I weigh around 145 pounds. I have pre-diabetes. I had asthma as a child, but grew out of it.
I am 25 year old Female iron 3.3. I have been feeling extremely exhausted and unable to do basic tasks, Anytime I walk outside or do anything my heart races immediately. I have had times where have felt faint, I did hear ringing in my ears, my hands and feet started tingling and my heart raced and on on occasion of this episode everything went black and I passed out. Thankfully these episodes do not happen very much, they are not brought on by anything are appear to be completely at random,
All of this lead me to get some blood work done. I realize that I have very low iron of 3.3 in addition to that my transferrin saturation is a 4.9
This is what I have read online
:Iron deficiency is diagnosed by a transferrin saturation of less than 16%. The serum iron is low and the total iron binding capacity is usually increased.
Patients with low total iron binding capacity have anaemia of chronic disease if the transferrin saturation is ≥16% or iron deficiency along with anaemia of chronic disease if the transferrin saturation is <16% Serum Ferritin test. Results can be high in IDA and usually low in ACD, in ACD it can be dangerous and even fatal to take iron":
what im trying to figure it out is why is my transferrin satuation not going and are very low at 4.9% even when my iron is very low 3.3 ... also my transferrin recepters are within normal range. ferritin is 9 Hemoglobin 113 Hematocrit 35% I do not show signs of inflammation or sweeling because of the CRP, my liver appears to be fine I had my thryiod tested that is also fine.. Vit B, C folic Acid also fine.
All I have read says that in normal iron deficiency receptors and saturation should go up in order to recieve more iron but I cannot figure out what it means if they dont, and if I take irons supplements can this be dangerous because there is nothing for the iron to bind to? Could this mean I have some type of Bacteria or cancer my body is hidding the iron from?
So to summarize my questions are.
1. What kind of additional tests if any do I need to take to diagnoses what type of Anemia have or what is the cause of my Anemia.
2. Why is my Transferrin Satuation so low what could be some reason?
3. In any diseases or infection wouldn't my CRP raised? is this a sign that I do not have a infection or bacteria or disease etc.
4. Is it dangerous for me to take iron supplements? Could this be a bacteria or cancer that my body is hidding the iron from?
5. Is having such low Iron a liability or dangerous to me? I do feel awful but I was just wondering if this is also a concern.
Any recommendation are greatly appreciated I am desperate for any help anyone can give.
Thankyou
