Question

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?

Question

I've got some redness and pain on the spot where I had a Mantoux Test done about two days ago. The redness has spread to roughly 15 mm. Could this mean something I should be concerned about?

Question

I'm really concerned about my situation here. I was bitten by a street cat before and went through the full rabies vaccination series of 5 doses. Then, 6 months later, the same cat bit me again, and I got 3 more doses of the vaccine. Now, if this same cat bites me once more just 2 months after my last rabies shot, do I need to get vaccinated again? If so, how many doses would be necessary? Also, just to mention, the cat hasn't been vaccinated. What should I do?

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried about my recent blood test results. I had a torch panel test done using EIA, and the results showed that my HSV 12 IgG level is at 1.6 and the IgM is at 0.2. What does this mean? Does it indicate that I have a herpes infection? Can you help me understand this better?
