I'm really worried because I had protected sex with a prostitute and during it, I noticed blood on the condom and my stomach. She mentioned she was on her period, but now I'm anxious about whether there's anything else I should be concerned about. This happened about 18 hours ago. Could you please help me understand if there's a risk for anything or anything I should do now?

I'm really worried about my friend. They had some kind of oral exposure about 5 months ago, and when they got tested at 3 months, they were negative for both HSV 1 and 2, both igm and igg. But heres what's concerninghe did another test after 5 months, and his igg value shot up to 18. Just last week, he was recovering from dengue fever, so I'm wondering if that's somehow causing the igg levels to be high. Should he go for another test just to be sure? If he does have this infection, whats the treatment like? Does this mean he has to deal with it forever now? Any advice would be really helpful.

I had an E. coli infection before and now it seems to be coming back there's pus leaking from the surgery site where they drained the previous infection. Is this a sign the infection returned or something else going on?

Pus after prior E.coli abscess drainage could mean reinfection.Need clinical evaluation and possibly repeat antibiotics or drainage.

I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.

ideally within 24-48 hours so no need to worry
