How do I see if my 17 year old daughter is still a virgin without asking her?

You can't! Besides, a teenage daughter may quite possibly lie even if you ask her....and if it turns out she's not a virgin, there's nothing you can do about it anyways. Instead of worrying about whether your daughter is still a virgin, make sure she is healthy, doing well in school, and has solid friends.

If you get the chance to talk to your crush and you realize he doesn't like your tribe, what do you do?

Unless you are passionate about ridding the world of bigotry and prejudice, don't waste your time on him and move on. Your crush is not the person you thought he was - next time, find out a little more about the person before falling in love!

My boyfriend is too good at it. Is he cheating?

Sex is something that almost everyone can manage to do by instinct. However, some people are naturally better at it than others, just like some people are naturals on the dance floor, while others are awkward. Of course, practice makes perfect, but your boyfriend may simply be talented at sex even without too much practice. Unless you have other reasons to believe he is cheating, just consider yourself lucky!

Girlfriend HIV but I want to marry

 
After reading all the questions on this forum about how everybody seems to fear HIV and people living with HIV, your question is refreshingly different. As I have said many times in this channel, HIV is no longer a killer disease. This is because of the number of different medicines that are available for therapy. HIV today has become a treatable infection and hardly anyone progresses to AIDS.

From the point of view of the person infected with HIV, Anti Retroviral Therapy (ART) suppresses viral multiplication to the extent that the virus cannot be detected in blood. This is known as “undetectable viral load”. Suppression of the virus means that their immune system does not get damaged and they can lead healthy and active lives.

From your point of view, as the person wanting to marry an HIV positive person, an undetectable viral load means that the chances of transmission of the virus from her to you is negligible. In fact it has been shown that persons with HIV who are taking their ART regularly, having an undetectable viral load, and do not have another sexually transmitted infection, are virtually non-infective. The use of condoms in sexual intercourse when combined with undetectable viral load is perhaps the best way to prevent HIV transmission.

I would advise both of you to consult your doctor or a HIV counsellor in your area for a detailed discussion on the issue.

Is alcohol needed in the body️

 
The body _does not require alcohol_ for any purpose. Alcohol is said to contain “empty calories”. This means that while alcohol contains almost 7 calories per gram, these calories are devoid of any vitamins or minerals that are available in other foods. Due to the high calorific content of alcohol, it prevents the utilisation of fat in the body. This could lead to obesity. The social and addictive ill-effects of alcohol are well known. Occasional consumption of alcohol in the form of moderate social drinking may have some recreational value. From a medical standpoint, alcohol is useless as far as bodily functions are concerned.

Bleeding as a sign of virginity️

 
This is a question that I resisted answering for a long time as it is not strictly a medical issue. However, a lot of our subscribers are asking this question. A virgin is culturally accepted as a person (male or female) who has not had sexual intercourse. Virginity has _nothing to do_ with any physical characteristic. In females, there is a thin bit of tissue, called the hymen, in the vagina that can rupture during the first act of penetration. This is what gives rise to the bleeding that you are asking about. However, this tissue can also rupture from exercise, and other physical activity. The structure of the hymen can also vary from being completely absent to being thin and elastic to being thick and in some cases, it may even obstruct the vaginal opening. It is possible that even if present it may not rupture during sexual intercourse. Owing to this wide variation in the structure of the hymen and the fact that it can rupture from physical activity, absence of bleeding should not be taken as a sign of lack of virginity. Bleeding may also occur due to injury to the vagina during sex. Bleeding from the vagina _is not_ an indication of virginity. Absence of bleeding _does not_ mean that a woman is not a virgin.
