Why is it that girls are intelligent than boys at school but boys end up being successful and rich when they are older? (Patriarchy strike)

Boys often do well in schools as they grow older - girls tend to be more mature than boys at a younger age, but boys catch up. Of course, that doesn't explain why boys tend to be more successful in the long run! Unfortunately, much of the world is still stacked against girls - boys often get paid more than girls for the same job, and get promoted more quickly just for being male. Men are pressured by society to succeed in the workplace, while women are pressured to get married or have children. While many women will fight the double standards, many women will get disillusioned and give in. Women bear the blunt of childbirth and childcare as well - they end up sacrificing more of their career for the sake of their family and children.

Can you escape hiv after affected with gonorhea

 
 
The short answer to your question is _NO_. Gonorrhoea _does not_ provide you with any protection from HIV. On the contrary, gonorrhoea increases the chance that you may get infected by HIV. Gonorrhoea causes inflammation and injury to the genital tract. This injury makes it easier for HIV to enter the blood stream. So if you have gonorrhoea and are sexually exposed to HIV, you are more likely to be infected by HIV. Let me repeat, _Gonorrhoea does not protect you from HIV_.

Should I continue taking ARV when my undetectable viral load


 
Your viral load is undetectable because the ARV that you are taking is actively suppressing the virus. Once you stop taking your medication, HIV will start to multiply again. Over time your viral load will increase and CD4 count will decrease. Not only that, the virus in your body may also become resistant to the drugs that you are taking, making it more difficult to control. An undetectable viral load _does not_ mean that the virus is removed form your body. It only means that multiplication of the virus is suppressed and it cannot infect new cells in your body. Treatment for HIV is life long. You should not stop it.

How does a razor blade used by an HIV infected person transimit the virus if l cut myself with it when it is said hiv virus does not last longer when exposed to oxygen


 
How long HIV can survive on a razor blade depends on how much fluid is present on the blade. On a relatively dry surface, HIV cannot survive for very long. However, in the presence of blood or body fluids, HIV has been known to survive for upto 7 days at room temperature, and even longer at lower temperatures. The survivability of HIV outside the body depends on many factors which cannot be quantified. The amount of virus in the fluid, the amount of fluid, and the ambient temperature are some of the factors that influence survival of HIV outside the body. HIV does survive in the presence of oxygen. What kills HIV outside the body is exposure to sunlight or heat. It cannot be determined exactly how long HIV can survive on a razor blade. This is the reason why you are advised not to share razor blades or toothbrushes or syringes and needles. Better safe than sorry.

Does itching on the penis forehead after unsafe sex mean lm HIV positive?


 
I have repeatedly said on this channel that _HIV infection has no symptoms_. HIV gradually destroys the immune system of the body. When this destruction reaches a critical level, the immune system cannot fight any infections. This causes the individual to suffer from other “opportunistic” infections. These are the symptoms that are seen and these occur late in HIV infection. Itching on the penis after sex _is not_ a symptom of HIV infection. A common infection that is contracted after unsafe sex is Candidiasis which can cause itching on the genitalia. If it is troubling you, I would advise you to consult a doctor who can treat you after examination.

Part of a tooth has broken so should the bearer remove the whole tooth?

The treatment of broken tooth would depend on the level of dentistry facilities available in your region. Depending on the severity of injury, broken teeth can also be salvaged. One of the protocols involves doing a Root Canal Treatment (RCT) followed by either filling the tooth or placing a crown on it. It is possible that there is very little of your tooth remaining in which case it may have to be extracted. You must consult a dentist who can advise you after examining you.

Or

Get yourself to a dentist. Broken, even chipped teeth can be weaker and prone to further damage or infection unless treated. Take painkillers if you're in pain. At the dentist, you can discuss various options for making your tooth look whole again - bonding, capping, dental veneers, etc. Depending on the amount of damage and your budget, you can find the right solution to fix your smile!
