Question

I'm a bit worried about the 56-day window period for taking an HIV p24 antigen and HIV III antibody test. Does that timeframe really give accurate results after potential exposure? I've heard different things and just want to be sure I'm getting tested at the right time. Can you give some advice on how reliable this is?

The recurrence of lip swelling after taking Norflox TZ, similar to your previous reaction to Levofloxacin, suggests a possible allergy or hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolone antibiotics; it's essential to consult an allergist to discuss the reactions and determine the best course of action for future antibiotic treatments, as they may recommend alternative antibiotics or allergy testing.

I completed all 5 doses by August 13th, but now I'm having some symptoms like shortness of breath and a mild fever. Should I be concerned about rabies even after finishing the vaccine?
