Hiv symptoms
I fear i might have been infected with hiv 6years back. I have no symptoms. I did a 4th generation CMIA antigen and antibody test which is non reactive after 6 years of possible exposure.I fear that it might be a false negative as I was taking steroids for some treatment for the past 5months.My questions are:
1)Had i been infected with HIV, would I get any symtpoms by now?
2)Can steroids cause immunosuppression and reduce the HIV antibodies so that it cannot be detected by HIV antibody test and cause a false negative?

Second Grade Internal Hemorrhoids
My father, 66 years, is suffering from Second Grade Internal Hemorrhoids as you can see from attached files. He was suffering from heavy anus bleeding for which he was prescribed some medications as you can see in the files. He went fine and then he discontinued medicines except Laculose which he is regularly taking two TSP daily night since more than 6 months.
Last night, he again suffered from bleeding and we are very much worried. Could you prescribe some medications? Should he discontinue Lactulose syrup?

Pain in armpit
Hello, my left armpit had been feeling a bit uncomfortable for the past month or so. The other day as i was massaging the area, I feel quiet a few rice-grain sized lumps which i assume to be my lymph nodes. None of them were swollen however 1 or 2 of them were very painful and tender when i pressed on them even though they were not swollen and couldn't be seen otherwise. A week ago, similar discomfort started in my right armpit and i found the same thing, no swelling but 1 point was tender and painful. I've also found a similar point but a bit rounder near my inner elbow on my left arm. What causes painful lymph nodes without swelling? Or could be some other type of inflammation? They are small like a rice-grain, not very hard to touch, painful when pressed, and I think are movable. Kindly advise, thank you.

About Medication
I had Vitamin D and B12 deficiency and I was advised to take D-Rise and Neurobion forte.
The recent reports attached however says there is a slight increase in both those levels, should I continue the course? If yes, what should be course duration?
I also feel my scalp itchy whenever I eat food containing green chillies, this is happening for the last 4 years before which it was perfectly fine. Is there any medication to this?
