Question

I've been experiencing something strange and it's a bit concerning. Every evening around 5 o'clock, I start getting a fever, and it sticks around until about 9 o'clock. After that, I feel completely fine, only for it to happen again the next day. This has been going on for the past 15 days. I'm on antibiotics, but they don't seem to be helping. The blood test says I have typhoid, but I don't notice any other symptoms of it in myself. What should I do?

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?

Question

I'm super worried and need some clarity. So back in 2001-2002, I got bitten by a dog but didnt get any vaccines then. Jumping ahead 5-6 years later, I started getting anxious about it and took 3 rabies vaccines in 2008. Since then, Ive had a total of 12 rabies vaccines between 2008 and 2012, taking them post-exposure. Does that mean I'm still at risk of rabies in the future because I took the vaccines late? Also, last year I went to a mela and had dinner at a hotel where the food was kept on the floor in a container. Later, I started stressing out about whether a dog might have eaten that food too. I've heard rabies has an incubation period of 1-3 months. Im past 67 months now, so is there still a risk? Some people suggest getting tests like the Nuchal biopsy Rabies Antibody test. This is all overwhelming, and I could really use some advice.

I'm dealing with malaria and the vomiting sensation is really tough to manage. Even though I'm on the prescribed medication, it's not helping much with the nausea. What can I do about this?
