AboutMark Behar Expertise Almost any question or concern about sexually transmitted infections, abnormal Pap smears, anal cytology (anal "Pap smears"), gay men's health issues.
There is no such thing as “d/d free” or “clean” (free of infection), so why do so many of us deceive ourselves into thinking that some people are indeed totally free from a potentially infectious disease, like HIV, herpes, hepatitis, syphilis, chlamydia, warts, gonorrhea, etc., just because they say so? Clinical laboratory tests are not perfect, and having a “negative” or “nonreactive” test does not mean that a person is free from infection. Perhaps at the moment the test was taken, the person was uninfected; or, perhaps, the test wasn’t sensitive enough to detect presence of the infection. There is really no way that anyone can determine that they are truly “disease free,” and there are over a hundred of infectious conditions that can be spread without your knowing anything.
Rather than trying to “prescreen” or “serosort” a potential sex-mate with deceptive questions that are impossible to know by today’s technologies, a wiser option may be to consider everyone infected with something, and either use appropriate protective measures (“safer sex”), or accept the responsibility and conseqences of possibly “catching” something from someone who’s hotter than expected (pun intended!).
There is much research that supports the contention that an HIV positive person reliably taking HIV medications, and having an undetectable viral load, presents a lower risk for transmission of HIV than people who may think or say they are HIV negative, but are not. Food for thought!

Answer Hello Abdul Wajid,
"Pus" cells in your urine are always due to an infection and inflammation, possibly a sexually transmitted infection. Norfloxacin is an antibiotic that may or may not effectively treat what you have. Unfortunately, I do not know what you have!! The serratiopeptidase is a dietary enzyme that may have helped you when taking the antibiotic-- so as to not have stomach upset or diarrhea, that frequently occurs when taking some antibiotics; vitamin E has little or no use or benefit.
You may have had a prostate infection, or a urethral infection caused by chlamydia, gonorrhea, ureaplasma, mycoplasma. Some diagnostic tests may be in order to determine whether you were correctly treated for what you had.
