I'm really worried about what happens if someone is exposed to the HIV virus. How soon would symptoms start showing up, and what are the first signs to look out for?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Most people infected with HIV experience a short, flu-like illness that occurs 2-6 weeks after infection. After this, HIV may not cause any symptoms for several years.

View allI'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?

I'm getting my rabies vaccines right now and I'm wondering if it's okay to eat non-veg like mutton and chicken during this time. Can you advise me on this?
There is no specific diet restriction while on rabies vaccination regimen. You may consume a non-veg diet without concern.

My cat bit me again today. I got the Abhayrab vaccine back in July, with the full series of 5 shots. Since the bite happened today, on November 19th, 2017, I'm wondering if I need to get vaccinated again, take a booster, or if I'm already protected and don't need to worry. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
