I'm on treatment and it's been 66 days now, but I've been getting a fever at night around 100 to 100.4 degrees. Is this normal after two months of treatment? When can I expect this to stop?

View allI'm really worried about something that happened during a recent blood draw. At the private lab, I noticed the seal on the vacutainer needle was already torn before my blood was drawn, and now, a month later, I'm experiencing some unsettling symptoms like severe fatigue, headaches, dizziness, and red spots on my legs. My sore throat has continued, and there's a swollen lymph node near my elbow even after three months. I did an HIV test, the 4th-generation kind, and it came back negative after 8 weeks and 7 days. But I'm still concerned, especially since there was about a 7-minute gap between me and the previous patient. Can HIV be a concern here? Is it possible for vacutainer needles to be reused? I just want to understand if there's something more I should be looking out for.

I got bitten by a dog about three years ago and didn't get an anti-rabies vaccine then or since. I'm really worried about the risk of rabies now. The dog was a pet, but I dont know if it was vaccinated. It bit the fingers on my right hand, and I haven't had any symptoms so far. Can I still get a vaccine for that old bite?
No, u don't need to do anything now. Rabies if it were to acquired from dog it will get into a person within a day to a week or two. Nothing to worry for now.

I'm based in Pune and have been dealing with Tubercular Lymphadenopathy for the last 9 months, but I can still feel swollen nodes on the left side of my neck. I'm worried because even after all this treatment, the size hasn't gone down. Could you recommend a well-experienced specialist in Pune who can help me with this?
Ideally the swelling also should come down,as it is still persisting, visit Physician for follow up and appropriate treatment.
