Question

I've been having sexual interactions with another male, but our activity hasn't involved actual penetration, just some touching. I'm really concerned and want to know if this kind of contact could still put us at risk for HIV transmission.

Question

I'm really worried about the redness and deep pain at my IV site, and it's spread all over my arm. Can you suggest any home remedies to help with the swelling and inflammation?

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

I'm a bit worried because a monkey just grazed my right hand with its teeth, and there's a small mark, but luckily no blood. I've already gotten a TT shot, but should I also get a rabies vaccine? Can you advise me on what to do next?
