I'm really worried because my 60-day-old puppy just bit me and left a scratch on my hand. There's a little bit of bleeding too. He's not vaccinated yet, so I'm not sure what steps I should take right now. Can you give me some advice on what I should do?

View allI'm trying to understand what it means when the widal test result says "non reactive." Could you explain this in detail? Also, I've been dealing with typhoid for about 4 months now and it just won't go away. Can you recommend any good doctors for treating typhoid? I'm really worried since it's been such a long time.
-A "non-reactive" result in a Widal test means that no significant antibodies against *Salmonella* (the bacteria causing typhoid fever) were detected in your blood. This usually indicates you don't currently have an active infection, but its not always

So, I've been with my wife for two years now, and we got married in May 2015. We started off using condoms, but for the past few months, at least three I think, we've stopped using them. Both of us got tested for HIV and the results were non-reactive, which was done on May 23, 2016. This was after at least three months of having unprotected sex. The test we did is the ECLIA Cobas e411 Roche. Do you think there's any need to redo the HIV test, or is it fine as long as we're both staying loyal to each other? Is the test we have already sufficient?
ideally not needed unless you have concern.get yourself tested once in a year

I've got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?
These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following: Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.
