I'm really worried because I accidentally drank some water that my auntie's dog had been drinking from. I'm scared about the possibility of rabies. A while back, in December 2017, I got the Equirab and Verorab vaccines after I was bitten by a dog. Do I need to get another rabies shot now?

I'm really trying to understand what a "TARGET NOT DETECTED" result means from an HIV 1 RNA PCR quantitative test. It's been 7 weeks, and seeing that result has me a bit anxious. Does this mean the virus isn't there at all, or could it be something else?

That says you have no infection
