What are the risks of touching the genitals of someone who is HIV positive?

I wouldn't be too worried if you do not have any cuts in your skin while you were in physical contact with your hands. 1) Human Immunodeficiency Virus - HIV can only survive in bodily fluids. It does not survive very long in open air. Unless you had contact with the vaginal or seminal fluid from the genitalia of the affected individual, it's unlikely were exposed to the virus in the first place. 2) Your skin has strong natural barrier against viruses and bacterial and HIV (virus) cannot penetrate through the layers of your skin to reach the vulnerable tissue which HIV thrives on.

How does consuming food containing a high level of purine affect my body?

You’re probably concerned about purine from what you’ve heard about gout. Consuming food containing a high level of purine should not affect you if you have no medical problems, such as gout or renal failure (non exhaustive list so please check with your doctor). Studies on multiple populations have found that diet is at best estimated to be a very minor contributor as risk for gout development, as compared to something like genetic factor.

Which health screening tests are advisable for a healthy male in his 40s, and how often should they be performed?

There are many health screening tests that can be advisable for a healthy male in his 40s, and I don’t think there can be a comprehensive way to include every single test here. Here’s why: For example, someone with family history of colorectal cancer at an early age may require screening at an earlier age despite being healthy his whole life, versus some other male with no genetic history.
