I'm really anxious and stressed right now. My one-year HIV test from Lal Path Lab came back negative with the CMAI test. Should I worry about HIV anymore or can I finally relax?

Hey, I had a question about Rabipur injections. So basically, I got 5 shots of it around 14 years ago. I'm wondering if I need to get a booster dose now, and if it's something that lasts for life. Also, how many doses are we usually supposed to get anyway? Appreciate any advice!

It provides immunity for 10yrs.But if you have doubts of exposure to dogs,then getting a booster is no harm.

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
