Why Do I Have Raynaud's Symptoms?
It appears like you have Raynaud's Phenomenon. The condition makes your fingers and toes to change color, cause the cold and numb feeling, particularly, when you are exposed to cold or stress. This is due to blood vessels in your extremities overreacting to these triggers, thus, decreasing blood flow. The best way to do this is to wear warm clothes, gloves, and socks, and also avoid the cold that triggers such episodes.

Platelet Count: Is 5.5 Lakh Normal?
A platelet count of 5.5 lakh is normal. These tiny cells help blood clot properly. Low platelets mean bruising easily, bleeding too much, and cuts won't stop bleeding. High platelets might signal infection, inflammation, or medical issues. So, regular check-ups with your doctor monitor those platelet levels. Your number looks good now. But definitely double-check with a doctor.

Is my uric acid level of 5.9 acceptable?
The uric acid level of 5.9 is already above normal. It might remain asymptomatic at first, yet if untreated, it may lead to gout, which is characterized by pain and swelling in the joints. Your uric acid level can be decreased by drinking more water, avoiding alcohol, and less red meat and seafood. Besides this method, exercising regularly may also be beneficial.

Should I retest for HIV after 2023 negative result?
If you had unprotected intimate relations in 2022 and your HIV test was negative in October 2023. You are not required to take another test as long as you haven't been risky since then. HIV symptoms sometimes show up late, so if you feel something out of the blue, like inexplicable weight loss or too many infections, then it's good to get tested again.
