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?

I recently had protected sex with a sex worker, but she gave me a blowjob without a condom. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV?

While using a condom during vaginal or anal sex significantly reduces the risk of HIV, oral sex (especially unprotected) does carry a lower but not negligible risk. The likelihood of transmission through oral sex is much lower than with penetrative sex, but it's still important to monitor for any symptoms and consider getting tested for peace of mind. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare provider for advice and potential testing.

I've been having a fever at the same time every day, with shivering and body pain for the last 45 days. I visited a doctor, but they couldn't diagnose what's going on. Can you help me figure out what this might be? It's been pretty frustrating and worrying.

It sounds like you may have a recurring fever pattern, possibly due to an infection like malaria, dengue, or typhoid, which needs specific testing. Request blood tests like CBC, malarial parasite, and typhoid panel, and ensure adequate hydration and rest while awaiting results.
