I'm getting the anti-rabies vaccine because I was bitten by a dog. Is it okay if I have alcohol while I'm going through this vaccination process?

I'm really worried because my wife has had a lump in her right armpit for about three months, and now there's swelling in her right breast too. Her doctor had her do a PPD TB skin test, and it came back positive with a 20 mm induration, even though she doesn't have any typical symptoms like a cough or fever. She's on anti-TB meds now, but I'm wondering if TB could really be causing the lump and the swelling. Is the skin test enough to confirm TB, or should we look into doing more tests? Your advice would be really helpful.

yes tuberculosis can cause lump. skin test is a initial diagnostic test

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?

You Can get it done at any time but repeat the test after 6 months from now
