View allI'm really worried after visiting a barber shop because I'm afraid I might have been exposed to infections like HBV, HCV, or HIV. Could you tell me more about when I should get tested? I heard that an antibodies test for HIV can be done after 4 weeks or even up to 12 weeks, but I also read something about a p24 antigen test that can be taken after 4 weeks. How accurate are these tests? I could really use some advice right now.
Antibodies test for HIV can be performed after 4 weeks for preliminary results, but for more accurate results, it is recommended to wait for 12 weeks post-exposure. The p24 antigen test can be performed after 4 weeks to detect the HIV virus directly. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I recently got tested at Lal Path Labs and found out that both Chlamydia and Herpes came back reactive. I'm unmarried and now I'm confused about whether I should get married or not.

Your son is due for the IPV and Hib vaccines, but unfortunately, they're not available right now. Don't worry, I've got some advice to help you navigate this situation. Firstly, *delayed vaccination is not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either*. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that kids receive the Hib vaccine at 12-15 months, and the IPV vaccine at 12-18 months . Since your son is already 2 weeks overdue, *you should consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action*. They may recommend alternative vaccination schedules or provide guidance on when the vaccines are likely to become available again. In the meantime, *make sure your son is up-to-date on all other recommended vaccinations*. This will help protect him from other serious diseases. Lastly, *don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or a vaccination specialist for further guidance*. They can provide personalized advice and help you make informed decisions about your son's vaccination schedule.
