I'm a bit anxious because I had sex using a condom, but it slipped off during the act. This happened last week, and now I'm really worried about the possibility of getting HIV from my partner. I'm considering seeing a doctor to check if everything's okay. What would you recommend?

I got bitten by a rat and took a tetanus shot within 5 hours. The doctor advised me to get rabies shots too, just to be cautious. Is that the right thing to do? The wound is almost healed now. What do you think?

Yes, the doctor's suggestion to take rabies injections as a precautionary measure is correct, even if the wound has almost healed, as rabies can incubate for weeks to months; taking post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), including rabies vaccination, within 24-48 hours of the bite can effectively prevent rabies infection.

I'm feeling really anxious and depressed after an experience with an escort where the condom accidentally slipped. I immediately pulled out and put on a new one, but now I'm really worried about my chances of catching HIV or an STD. It's been three days, and I can't stop thinking about it. Can you help ease my mind or let me know what my risks really are?
