I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I had protected intercourse recently, but I'm still planning to get the HIV 1 and 2 tests done just to be safe. I'm wondering if I could get accurate results in 23 days, or does it usually take longer for a final confirmation? Any suggestions on how this process generally works?

I got a series of 5 rabies shots about a month back, and it was the Abhayrab brand. Recently, I got scratched by a dog again, so I decided to get 3 booster doses instead of the usual 2. I'm really anxious about whether having so many vaccines could cause any serious side effects. Could you please advise? I'm worried and need some guidance.

Nothing to worry. Trust me, it is safe.
