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 about a testosterone propionate injection I had on my butt. It's been over two weeks now, and things just seem to be getting worseI keep getting fevers, and there's a lump where the injection was with increasing swelling. Do you think another surgery could help? What should I do? I'm looking for advice on this.
The lump has to be properly examined to determine what it is. Treatment will vary according to the findings. It is best to opt for a consult with a surgeon as soon as possible.

I'm really worried about something that's been on my mind for a while. Back in 2002, I got bitten by a dog but didn't get any rabies vaccination at that time. Then in 2008, after getting concerned, I decided to get 3 anti-rabies shots, and because of some psychological stress, I ended up getting more. By 2011, I had taken a total of 12 rabies vaccines. So I'm really anxious now and need to know: Is there any chance I could still get rabies from that bite in 2002 because I didn't get vaccinated immediately? And is it possible to experience any reactions or side effects due to the number of vaccines I've received over the years? Previously, a doctor mentioned there's a very remote possibility, less than 1%, of getting rabies, but I'm just so nervous and can't stop thinking about it. Can you please help me understand if it's still a risk?

I'm really concerned about finding reliable HIV testing methods. I've read about the 4th generation HIV 12 Antibodies and p24 Antigen test with a shorter window period of around four weeks after exposure. I live in Chennai and have tried to locate a lab or medical center that offers this test using the CMIA method but haven't had any luck so far. Do you have any suggestions on where I might find this test available in Chennai?
The 4th generation HIV 1 & 2 Ab and p24 Ag test by CMIA method is indeed a latest test for HIV testing with a short window period of about 4 weeks from exposure. Unfortunately, I couldn't find specific labs or medical centers in Chennai that offer this test. However, I recommend searching online for "4th generation HIV test in Chennai" or "CMIA method HIV test in Chennai" to find relevant options. You can also check with local hospitals or pathology labs to inquire about the availability of this test.
