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?

I'm really worried about my health situation and hope you can help me out. Back in June 2015, I had protected sex with a sex worker. Over the past year, I've done several HIV tests, including the tri-dot and an ICTC test, and all of them came back negative, even the one-year mark test. But I'm anxious because I've read online about a connection between HIV and filariasis. Lately, I've had jaundice and a swollen testicle, and I'm currently on medications like dec 100 mg. So now, I'm really confused and would like to know: how accurate is the tri-dot test, and could all these symptoms be related in any way? Am I really in the clear or should I be worried?

There is no such relation no need to worry you are free from hiv ,get yourself tested once a yr for 3 years

I'm looking at my widal test results and I'm a bit worried. The values are showing Salmonella Typhi O Antigen at 140 and Salmonella Typhi H Antigen also at 140. Salmonella Paratyphi AH and BH Antigens are both at 120. Does this mean the test is negative? And if so, does that rule out typhoid completely or is there still a chance it could develop later?

negative or low-level result indicating no active typhoid infection at this time
