Is exudative granulomatous lymphadenitis something I should be really worried about? I've heard it might be related to tubercular exudate. Is it treated the same way as tuberculosis? I'd really appreciate some advice!

I'm a bit worried about my rabies shots. I got 5 doses of the anti-rabies vaccine back in January after a dog bite, but turns out the dog didn't have rabies. Recently, another dog scratched my leg with its teeth, leaving just a scratch with a little blood. This happened about 10 days ago on October 1st. Should I get vaccinated again?

Since you've already completed the full anti-rabies vaccine series in January and the scratch wasn't deep or from a rabid dog, you likely don't need to take the vaccine again. However, if you're still concerned or have any doubts, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.

I recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 10 days?

For an accurate HIV RNA PCR test result, it's typically recommended to wait at least 10-14 days after potential exposure. Since you tested 15 days after the incident, it should provide a fairly reliable result, but the accuracy improves with more time. For complete certainty, consult with your doctor.
