Question

I'm really concerned about my wife. She has typhoid with a Widal test showing 320 titers, but no malaria. On top of that, she's three weeks pregnant. I'm worried about what treatment options are safe for her and the baby. Could you please help with advice on what we should do?

Question

So, I went to get my beard shaved at a barber shop, and I noticed that the barber didn't change the blade. I ended up with a small cut too. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV transmission in this situation?

Question

I finished my 5 doses of RABIPUR vaccine in November 2016 and got another dose on February 16, 2017. I'm really confused about how long I'm protected from rabies now. Different doctors have told me different things, like I won't need a booster for 4 months, or just 1 dose a year is enough, or even that I should take 2 doses if there's a new exposure. Today I noticed a scratch near my neck, and I'm worried if it could be from an animal, maybe a dog or a monkey, though I'm not sure. Since I already had a recent dose on 16th Feb, will that cover me for this scratch today, or do I need another booster now?

Question

Can you use a vacutainer needle without a safety lock on a different patient if its already been used on someone else? Also, is there a risk that the blood might clot in the needle, causing it not to work properly? What are the chances of someone getting HIV if blood is accidentally drawn with a needle that's already been used? Even if the blood is flowing out and not in, is there still a risk of HIV transmission?
