I'm really worried because my dog recently had rabies and unfortunately passed away. I didn't get bitten or scratched, but I did come into contact with its saliva. Back in 2016, I took a series of 5 rabipur shots after a bite exposure, and this year I went for a single rabipur booster. Do I need to get more shots now? I'm pretty anxious about this, so any advice would be really appreciated.

View allI'm wondering if, after being exposed to HIV, the antibodies still show up in the body even four years later. Is there any possibility that they might vanish over time? And if they might disappear, would they still be detectable after a long period?
Yes, HIV antibodies can remain present in the human body for many years after exposure. In some cases, the antibodies may decrease over time but they are usually detectable even after a long period. It is important to note that HIV testing is still recommended for accurate diagnosis and monitoring of the infection.

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've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
Yes you are doing it right follow your doctors advice
