I'm really worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?

View allI'm looking at my husband's blood test results, and I'm a bit worried. It says he's rapid positive for Dengue Fever NS1 Antigen. The Antibodies Panel shows IGG as negative but IGM is weakly positive. Plus, his platelet count is quite low, showing 26.0 when the reference range is 150-410. Does this mean he definitely has Dengue? What should we do next?
you take medication.

I'm a bit worried about a scratch I got from a dog about two days ago. I couldn't get a rabies shot immediately, and I'm planning to get it soon, but it's been over 48 hours now. Will the vaccine still be effective if I get it within 72 hours, or is it too late to prevent rabies?
If you get the rabies shot after 48 hours but before 72 hours of a dog scratch, the vaccine can still be effective. It is ideal to get the rabies vaccine as soon as possible after a potential exposure. The standard regimen for rabies post-exposure prophylaxis involves a series of rabies vaccines, such as Rabipur or Verorab, given on days 0, 3, 7, and 14. Additionally, a dose of rabies immunoglobulin may be administered on day 0 for those with high-risk exposures. It is important to follow the recommended schedule for the vaccine to ensure protection against rabies.
