Question

I'm married and it's been about 1.5 years now. I don't smoke or drink at all, but I'm getting worried because a few months ago, my wife had fistula surgery and her HIV test was negative at that time. The gynecologist recommended I take a retrovirus test, and it's been stressing me out. I had an HIV test done about 5 years ago and it was non-reactive. Do you think there's any chance of the virus getting transmitted? I'm pretty anxious about it and not sure what I should do next.

Question

I'm a bit worried because my Dengue IgM came back positive about 15 days ago, but the IgG and NS1 tests were negative. Im still feeling really weak even now. The strange thing is, I don't have a fever, headache, or any drop in my platelets or WBC. What should I do about this?

Question

I'm really worried about my blood test results. It came back showing that both TPHA and VDRL are reactive. Can you explain what kind of treatment I need for these, and how long it might take for the results to turn negative? I'm hoping to travel abroad soon, and this is really stressing me out. Can you guide me on what steps I should take next?

Question

I got my rabies shots around 8 months ago, but Im running late for the booster. A dog scratched my finger, but it's still healthy and living. Im worried about whether it's too late to get the rabies vaccine now. I read somewhere that as long as symptoms haven't started, it's not too late. Is that true? What should I do?
