Question

I'm really concerned about how long it usually takes for someone to test negative after being positive for COVID. Can you provide some guidance on this?

Question

I had an encounter with a prostitute a day ago and during sex, my condom tore. I'm really worried about possibly getting HIV. How soon should I go for a test?

Question

So, I'm a 23-year-old guy, and earlier today, a bat flew into my room and landed on my bed. It was pretty small, and I figured I could just pick it up to let it out, right? But when I tried doing that with my left hand, it turned its head and bit my thumb. There arent any visible marks, not even a scratch, and the skin didnt get pierced, but Ive heard bats can transmit rabies. I immediately washed my hand with a lot of soap and antiseptic. Should I be worried even though theres no visible bite mark?

Question

I had sex with a prostitute about five months ago where there was a blowjob, some really quick fingering, and we used a condom with Vaseline lubricant. I got tested at a path lab in Malaysia with an HIV 1 and 2 ag ab Elisa test and the results came back non-reactive. I also did a rapid test kit five months later and that was negative too. Do I really need to get tested again at six months, or can I just move on and stop worrying about this?
