I'm getting my rabies vaccines right now and I'm wondering if it's okay to eat non-veg like mutton and chicken during this time. Can you advise me on this?

There is no specific diet restriction while on rabies vaccination regimen. You may consume a non-veg diet without concern.

View allI'm really worried about my HIV status after having unprotected sex. How soon can I get reliable results from an HIV1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test? I've heard it's different from a qualitative test, so I want to make sure I get accurate information.
After unprotected sex, the HIV-1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test can give a quantitative HIV status typically within 9 to 11 days post-exposure. It is important to note that this test measures the amount of HIV virus present in the blood, rather than simply detecting its presence.

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.
