View allI've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?
Repeat it after 6 months and visit Physician for appropriate management

I'm really confused because I got bitten by a dog and my doctor told me to get 3 doses of the rabies vaccine, but I thought there were 5 doses in the series. Why did my doctor say I only need 3 shots? Should I be worried about this?
Your doctor likely prescribed 3 rabies vaccine doses because you're considered to be at low to moderate risk, which usually requires 3 doses. The full 5-dose schedule is typically given to those with higher exposure or specific risk factors.
