I'm a bit worried because my dog, who I've already gotten vaccinated, bit me again within ten days of its last vaccination. Do I need to get another round of anti-rabies vaccinations for myself, even though my dog's vaccinations are up to date?

View allI was bitten by a dog about 13 years ago and didn't get any vaccinations at that time. I've come across some articles suggesting that rabies can appear even 25 years after a bite. I'm really concerned and it's been affecting my daily life. Should I consider getting the rabies vaccine now?

I'm really worried about my recent exposure and I'm not sure about the window period for an HIV test. Can you tell me how long I should wait before getting tested? Also, I'm looking to find an ICTC government center in Bangalore. Could you advise on where I might find one?
The window period for an HIV test is typically up to 12 weeks after exposure, as it takes time for the body to develop antibodies that can be detected by tests like ELISA. In Bangalore, you can find ICTC (Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre) and government centers at various locations. Some options include: - National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Bengaluru Branch: This branch offers HIV testing and counseling services. - Government Hospitals: Many government hospitals in Bangalore have ICTC centers that provide free or low-cost HIV testing and counseling services. - Private Labs: Some private labs, like those listed on the Practo website, offer HIV testing services, including home sample collection.
