I'm really worried right now. I had sex with a sex worker and used a condom, but I'm anxious about the risks of HIV. Is there any chance of getting HIV if the outside of the condom touched my penis after ejaculation? Also, after I touched her vagina and then my penis, could that have been risky too? Another thing, I kissed her body but avoided her lips and vagina. Should I be concerned about that? Please help me figure out what to do next.

View allI'm really worried because my HIV rapid test came back negative after 7 months, and even the HIV Western Blot test was negative at 4 months. But I've been experiencing a lot of infections in my body. Is it possible that the tests might not be conclusive? Could there be any reason why my immune system is acting this way if not due to HIV?
Based on the negative results from both your HIV rapid test (at 7 months) and the HIV Western Blot (at 4 months), it is highly reassuring and suggests that you are not infected with HIV. However, if you're experiencing multiple infections, it could be worthwhile to investigate other underlying causes with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

My mom has had this swollen node on her neck for about 4 months now. It didnt hurt or anything at first, but it started to get bigger. After running through a bunch of tests like FNAC, turns out its a TB gland. We've been on TB meds for like 3 months now, but she's started feeling pain and theres pus building up inside the node. It hasn't gone down at all. What should we do?
increase the dosage take it according to her weight

My cat bit me again today. I got the Abhayrab vaccine back in July, with the full series of 5 shots. Since the bite happened today, on November 19th, 2017, I'm wondering if I need to get vaccinated again, take a booster, or if I'm already protected and don't need to worry. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
