Get personal advice

Sometimes you may want to ask a human person for advice. Web4Health provides such services in English using AOL Ask a qustion. AOL Ask a question is primarily a community question-answering service, where anyone who is knowledgeable in an area can answer questions. We do provide answers to questions by medical experts in the Swedish and German language!

There is thus no guarantee that your question in English will be answered by a medical expert or in accordance with good medical practices. However, our experience is that the quality of the answers and advice provided by the AOL Ask a question community is usually very good.

Web4Health medical experts will sometimes answer the questions you write here, but more common is that your questions are answered by the AOL Ask a question community of answer providers, who mostly are not medical professionals.

Writing anonymous questions: If you ask sensitive personal questions, you will probably want to do this anonymously. The way to achieve this is to give a user name to AOL Ask a question which does not in any way identify who you really are, and not give any personal identifying information in your AOL Ask a question registration. AOL Ask a question will also ask you for an e-mail address, but this e-mail address will not be shown to anyone except the providers of AOL Ask a question and Web4Health, so there is no danger in giving your normal e-mail address to AOL Ask a question.

You can also choose to have two identies in AOL Ask a question, one anonymous for asking sensitive personal questions, and one non-anonymous for other use of AOL Ask a question.
