I'm dealing with lymph node tuberculosis on my neck and after four months of taking medication, I noticed some pus coming out on its own, which was surprising. When I consulted with a surgeon about it, they mentioned surgery wasn't necessary. Now, I'm occasionally noticing some pus on my neck. What should I do about it?

I'm really worried about my HIV exposure. I took an HIV test at both 3 months and 7 months post-exposure, and both results were negative. Are these results definitive, or is there a possibility I should get tested again? I would really appreciate your guidance.

Can being bitten or scratched by an Indian bat give someone rabies? Should I get a post-exposure prophylaxis if I've been near bats? I'm really worried about this whole bat thing and would love some advice.

I recently had protected intercourse with a massage therapist I didn't know, and it only lasted about 5 minutes. I'm really concerned and wondering how good condoms are at keeping you safe from HIV, especially since the condom didnt break the whole time. Could you shed some light on this?
