I just got my dad's blood test report and it says IGG is negative, IGM is positive, and the NS1 antigen is negative. I'm kind of worried and wondering, does this mean he might have Dengue virus? Could you help me understand these results?

View allI'm currently on MDR drugs and have been for the past 16 months. Initially, I was on capreomycin injections daily, along with thiomide E 750 mg, pyrazinamide 2000 mg, moxifloxacin 400 mg, and clofazimine 100 mg. Now my doctor is suggesting that I stop the medication, but some people are saying I should continue for 18 to 24 months. Can you help me understand if I should stop the medication as advised or continue for a longer duration? I'm really worried about what's best for my health.

I'm a bit worried because I had an encounter with a monkey today, and it chased after me. When I got home, I noticed a small cut, but I'm not sure if the monkey actually touched or scratched me. Should I be concerned about any potential health risks from this?

My cat bit me again today. I got the Abhayrab vaccine back in July, with the full series of 5 shots. Since the bite happened today, on November 19th, 2017, I'm wondering if I need to get vaccinated again, take a booster, or if I'm already protected and don't need to worry. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
