I'm really worried right now. I had a one-time encounter with an escort and we used a condom. I'm super concerned about my chances of getting HIV from this. Can you give me some insight on that? Also, Id really appreciate it if you could recommend which STD tests I should consider getting. I'm pretty anxious about this whole situation.

I'm kind of worried about this rat bite I got on my toe a month back. It was a small wound, but it did bleed a bit. I saw a doctor, got a TT injection, and took antibiotics to avoid infection. They also suggested I get the Anti Rabies vaccine, but I haven't gotten it yet. Do you think it's necessary for me to take the Anti Rabies Vaccine at this point?
yes you need to take rabies vaccination

I've been tested for VDRL and RPR, and both came back negative, but my TPHA result was positive with a titer of 1160. I haven't had any lesions, rashes, or other symptoms, and this is my first time testing positive for syphilis. I've done the VDRL test four times in the last two years, and they've always been negative. Can you tell me which stage of syphilis this might indicate and if a titer level of 1160 is something to worry about? What would the treatment be?
Consult a healthcare provider: It's important to discuss your results with your doctor. They can confirm whether you have latent syphilis and guide you through the necessary treatment. Possible further testing: Your doctor might order additional tests or monitor your condition to see if there are any signs of active infection. Even though you're not showing symptoms, treatment is crucial to prevent complications and transmission to others.
