I'm really worried and need some advice. I had an Elisa HIV 1 and 2 test done 21 days after a possible exposure, and it came back negative at 0.006. Is that result conclusive, or should I think about getting tested again in 2 or 3 months? I only had oral sex and kissed the lips of a sex worker quite a few times. Am I still at risk?

I'm really worried because my dog recently had rabies and unfortunately passed away. I didn't get bitten or scratched, but I did come into contact with its saliva. Back in 2016, I took a series of 5 rabipur shots after a bite exposure, and this year I went for a single rabipur booster. Do I need to get more shots now? I'm pretty anxious about this, so any advice would be really appreciated.
2 shots of rabipur should be taken , if saliva has touched any open wound. otherwise not. required

I'm just a bit worried and curious about something. If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, what are the chances of someone else getting infected? Also, after the window period, what kind of HIV test would be good enough to rely on?
If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, the chances of others getting infected are low but not zero. It is still possible for HIV to be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or sharing needles with someone who is HIV positive. After the window period, the most common and reliable HIV test is the HIV antibody test. This test looks for antibodies that your body makes in response to the HIV infection. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.
