I'm really worried about a testosterone propionate injection I had on my butt. It's been over two weeks now, and things just seem to be getting worseI keep getting fevers, and there's a lump where the injection was with increasing swelling. Do you think another surgery could help? What should I do? I'm looking for advice on this.

I'm really worried because a dog licked a small scratch on my leg on July 10th, 2017. I started getting the rabies vaccine on July 12th, 2017, but then the dog died on July 14th, 2017. I completed all 5 doses by August 13th, but now I'm having some symptoms like shortness of breath and a mild fever. Should I be concerned about rabies even after finishing the vaccine?

continue your vaccination

I'm really worried because my HIV rapid test came back negative after 7 months, and even the HIV Western Blot test was negative at 4 months. But I've been experiencing a lot of infections in my body. Is it possible that the tests might not be conclusive? Could there be any reason why my immune system is acting this way if not due to HIV?

Based on the negative results from both your HIV rapid test (at 7 months) and the HIV Western Blot (at 4 months), it is highly reassuring and suggests that you are not infected with HIV. However, if you're experiencing multiple infections, it could be worthwhile to investigate other underlying causes with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
