I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.

I'm a bit worried about my recent PCR test result. The CT value came back as 20, and I'm not sure if that means the infection is mild. Could you help me understand what this value indicates and what precautions I should be taking?

I'm really stressed and can't focus on anything because I'm worried. Is the p24 duo HIV test accurate if I'm testing at 21 days? I'd really appreciate some clarity on this.

I'm looking at my husband's blood test results, and I'm a bit worried. It says he's rapid positive for Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen. The Antibodies Panel shows IGG as negative but IGM is weakly positive. Plus, his platelet count is quite low, showing 26.0 when the reference range is 150-410. Does this mean he definitely has Dengue? What should we do next?

you take medication.
