I'm a 24-year-old female and I've been struggling with typhoid for the past few years. This time, it's hit me twice in just a two-month gap. I had a typhidot test after taking some medicine, and it came back weakly positive. I'm wondering if Monocef is a good option for treating typhoid in my case? I'm also dealing with a lot of weakness, joint pain, chest pain, and headaches. What should I do?

View allI heard that the WHO has changed their guidelines for the rabies vaccine. It used to need 5 doses, but now I'm not sure what the current recommendation is. Can you shed some light on how many doses are needed now? I'm a bit worried about making sure I follow the right protocol.

I had unprotected sex about three months ago, and while I haven't noticed any specific issues, I'm a bit worried and want to make sure I don't have any STDs or STIs. What tests should I get? Are there any good labs in Bangalore for this? And how often should I be getting tested?

I had oral sex with a girl and ejaculated in her mouth back in November 2018 and I didn't know her blood status. Eight days after the encounter, I did a PCR RNA test and it was negative. Then, at one month, I took an HIV Tridot and syphilis test, both negative. At 75 days, I repeated the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests, and they were also negative. I took the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests again on January 30. Those came back negative too. Is the HIV Tridot test accurate after 82 days? I'm really anxious about this...
It's understandable to feel concerned, but based on the tests you've had, including the HIV Tridot after 82 days, it is highly accurate, and a negative result is reassuring. HIV testing generally gives reliable results after 3 months, so you can have peace of mind. If you still feel anxious, consulting with a healthcare provider for further guidance is always a good step.
