I'm dealing with Malaria and my doctor prescribed Falcigo sp kit, but I can't remember the dosage and how long I'm supposed to take it. Could you help me out with this?

the Falcigo-SP Kit is a single-day treatment. The contents of the kit (usually 3 tablets) are taken together as a single dose with water after a meal.Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and Do not consume alcohol while on antimalarial medication.

View allI got bitten by a female monkey on my left hand's ring finger, and it's been bleeding and has a small wound. I washed it with antiseptic and tincture Iodine, but now the finger is a bit swollen and stiff. I had a tetanus shot back in November 2016. Should I be worried about this, and what should I do next?
Get a Tetanus shot and complete Anti Rabies treatment as soon as possible

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.
