How to get rid of a sore throat?

Question 1
How to get rid of a sore throat?...  I have one and I ran out of ibruprophen (dont know how to spell that lol) so any ideas?

Answers
1)   Honey and green tea....tastes rancid but works ! - Sid33

2)   yes i do the honey and green tea thing....i also try the throat drops and rest for a couple days and them im good....good luck - Essential Truth

3)   What I have been told/ heard is that you should get a glass of water, and put about 1/4 cup of salt and mix it around. It doesn't taste too good but it works
Hope it helps! - Brady Pappas

4)   cough medicine, garlic, parsley, hot sauce, throat spray, drinking something hot, believe it or not nasal spray, it could be from a fever blister a.k.a. a cold sore so use carmex lip balm on ur mouth not in it lol. u can still hav a cold sore even though u dont see it appear. once u hav a cold sore, the virus doesnt leav ur body, it stays with u so u hav it forever until they come out with a cure for herpes. it doesnt mean ur dirty and discusting, u can catch it from nyone that spits on u, u drink after, eat after, kiss and so on. cold sores r activated by heat, stress, or coming in contact with a person that has one. i wouldnt say u hav a cold sore, just look to not eat after a person that has one. just use throat spray for it or garlic or my other suggestions. if it still hurts by monday, u should go see a doctor cuz a sore throat should only last about 2-3 days. - stik boi

5)   Lemon tea and honey drink it as hot as u can! It tastes good and it works. - CHONKEY

Question 2
Could I be HIV positive?...  Bare with me please,

I fell in love with my ex-boyfriend around 2 months ago. We met on the phone through a friend and hit it off instantly. We were the same person. We all arranged to hang out at the mall a week later so we could meet up for the first time. We didn't start dating until a week after that.

The things he told me about himself would make any girl breakup with him. The bad things hes done, why he had just got out of a prison almost a year ago....and worse. I loved this man so much I told him the past was the past. And it was true, he really had changed. He was the smartest sweetest guy ever. He was 25, im 19. I told my parents about him and was planning on introducing soon.

We connected on such a level I probably will never again do with anyone else. I am a Christian> i always preached that I would save my virginity for my husband and that its a gift to not be wasted.

In his apart, May 20. He performed oral sex on me. Ok, fine. I DID NOT perform oral sex on him. In the heat of the moment we decided we wanted to have sex. He knew I was a virgin and asked if I was sure, for some reason I said yes. I really thought this guy was the one. I was willing to give up my promise to God for him, stupid mistake.

Three days later my aunt calls me and tells me that this guy was HIV positive. I could have died right there. I called and asked "why he didnt tell me", but he kept saying he didnt know what i was talking about. I hung up. He called back and was like ok so now you know, now what do we do.

All I could do was scream and wanna hang myself. IF he loved me and cared so much why would he do that to me. He was born with the sickness, but thats not an excuse to not warn the person you love. Let me make that decision for myself you know.

We did use protection, but his performance of oral sex on me was not protected. IM scared to go get tested, i havent been to work in weeks. Im growing ill just thinking about it. Could there be a possibility? What do I do? What am i supposed to feel?

Answers
1)   Get a test done, no way anyone here would know. - Bridges

2)   As you used a condom (assuming you used it correctly and th condom was not defective) it is unlikely that you will have contracted HIV when you had vaginal sex. As for catching it through oral sex, there is a risk of contracting HIV this way:

"Risk is classified as either being documented (transmission that has actually occurred, been investigated, and documented in the scientific literature) or theoretical (passing an infection from one person to another is possible). While there is documented risk when having oral sex with an HIV infected partner the risk is much less than with anal or vaginal intercourse. This fact makes it very hard to calculate the actual risk with oral sex. Another factor that makes risk determination difficult is the fact that most people who engage in oral sex also engage in other types of sexual practices, namely vaginal and anal intercourse. Still, there have been document cases of HIV transmission strictly from oral sex." http://aids.about.com/cs/safesex/a/oralsex.htm

YOU MUST HAVE AN HIV TEST NOW. Early detection and treatment of HIV infection is the best way to remain healthy. There are drugs that can be given after direct exposure to the virus that can reduce the chances of you getting HIV. - nicepuddin

3)   better get a test now
as this is a earlt stage MAYBE the virus can be stoped
or controled atleast - Lone Wolf

4)   It would be very difficult for you to contract HIV from him performing oral sex on you, unless he had open wounds in his mouth that were bleeding. Just like you can't get HIV from kissing. Saliva does not transmit the HIV virus.

You HAVE to go get tested. Its scary I know, but you aren't doing yourself any favors by sitting at home doing nothing. You most likely don't have HIV, and the test would confirm that. Then you can move on with your life- stop paralyzing yourself with fear and take action.

On a different note, stop trying to tell yourself that this guy LOVES you. Maybe you were great together, and maybe he's a nice person, but someone who loves you wouldn't put you at risk for a life threatening disease, then try to LIE about it. You are too old to be this naive about how guys are when they want sex. You should have known better. - lavaquerabesa

4)   DO NOT TOUCH/PICK AT YOUR FACE.
oils and dirt from your hands get transmitted to your face and clog your pores. also picking at pimples causes scarring.
also, keep your hair away from your face, and keep it clean. the oils from your hair can also clog your pores, causing pimples.
as for getting rid of them, i can't really make much of an evaluation because you didn't provide much background information about your skin. such as whether it's oily, normal, dry or sensitive. but for now i would advise you to wash your face in the morning and at night with a gentle NON-COMEDOGENIC (meaning it will not clog pores) cleanser. that's the best advice i can give you at the moment. - gaiian966
