Question

I'm a bit worried after looking at my throat ultrasound report. It mentions something about an infectious etiology like Koch's disease. Can you explain what that means? Is it something serious I should be concerned about?

Question

I had oral sex with a girl and ejaculated in her mouth back in November 2018 and I didn't know her blood status. Eight days after the encounter, I did a PCR RNA test and it was negative. Then, at one month, I took an HIV Tridot and syphilis test, both negative. At 75 days, I repeated the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests, and they were also negative. I took the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests again on January 30. Those came back negative too. Is the HIV Tridot test accurate after 82 days? I'm really anxious about this...

Question

What are the chances I could get rabies if I missed the 3rd shot and ended up taking it later along with the 4th? I got bitten by a stray cat on December 5, 2017. The bite wasn't too deep, but it was bleeding a bit. I washed it with soap and put on some Soframycin as soon as I got home. I had my first shot on December 6, the second on December 9, but then I missed the third one which I later took on December 20 along with the fourth shot. The fifth shot was on December 27, and I'm supposed to have my last one on January 3. Should I be worried about rabies?

Question

I'm really worried after my recent blood test about the possibility of needles being reused in a vacutainer. The phlebotomist assured me it wasn't reused, but I can't help but wonderis it even possible for a vacutainer needle to be reused? If it was reused, what blood-borne diseases could I potentially be exposed to?
