I'm really anxious about my recent HIV RNA test. It was done just two weeks after potential exposure, and the result came back as 100. Can you tell me if this is conclusive or if I need additional testing? I'm really worried and could really use your guidance.

I 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 health situation and hope you can help me out. Back in June 2015, I had protected sex with a sex worker. Over the past year, I've done several HIV tests, including the tri-dot and an ICTC test, and all of them came back negative, even the one-year mark test. But I'm anxious because I've read online about a connection between HIV and filariasis. Lately, I've had jaundice and a swollen testicle, and I'm currently on medications like dec 100 mg. So now, I'm really confused and would like to know: how accurate is the tri-dot test, and could all these symptoms be related in any way? Am I really in the clear or should I be worried?

There is no such relation no need to worry you are free from hiv ,get yourself tested once a yr for 3 years

I'm 28 and recently had sex with a prostitute, but I'm not sure about her HIV status. After I got an erection, some serum leaked from the condom and got into her vagina, though she cleaned up right away. I'm pretty worried and just wondering if there's any risk of HIV transmission from this situation?
