Question 1

I was bitten by a dog about 13 years ago and didn't get any vaccinations at that time. I've come across some articles suggesting that rabies can appear even 25 years after a bite. I'm really concerned and it's been affecting my daily life. Should I consider getting the rabies vaccine now?

Question 2

I'm really concerned about my HIV status after having an unprotected encounter with a sex worker. I've taken several tests: an HIV Antibody Test at 21 days and at 2 monthswhich were both negativethen a CMIA Method test at 12 weeks, and a Rapid Test at 3 months. I also did a CMIA test at 20 and 22 weeks, and all these were negative too. Are these results considered conclusive? I've been experiencing some issues like recurring colds, muscle and joint pains, and low levels of Vitamin D and B. Could these symptoms mean something? I'm just worried and would appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

Based on the negative results from multiple HIV tests at various intervals, it is highly unlikely that you are HIV-positive. However, the symptoms you're experiencing, such as recurring colds, muscle and joint pain, and low vitamin levels, may indicate other underlying health issues. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to further investigate these symptoms and address any deficiencies.

Question 3

I'm dealing with malaria and the vomiting sensation is really tough to manage. Even though I'm on the prescribed medication, it's not helping much with the nausea. What can I do about this?

I'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.
