I'm wondering if there's any risk of getting HIV from getting a handjob where the person used oil. And what about other STIs? Is there anything else I could be at risk for? Do I need to get tested, and if so, which tests should I consider?

View allI'm a bit worried and could use some advice. So, about 20 days ago, I got bitten by a dog and went through the whole rabies vaccination process with the 4 shots. Am I okay to be intimate with my wife now?
yes

I'm really stressed out. I recently had my first sexual encounter with a commercial sex worker, and during ejaculation, the condom slipped and ended up hanging in her vagina. It's been 15 days since then and the anxiety has been eating at me. I'm really worried about the possibility of HIV transmission because of the slip-up. Do you think I should go for an HIV RNA test now, or is it better to wait for a while?
It's understandable to feel stressed after such an experience, but the risk of HIV transmission from a condom slip is generally low if the condom was used correctly. It's advisable to get an HIV test at 3 months for conclusive results, but if you're very concerned, you can consult with a healthcare provider about the possibility of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP).

I've got a question. I was bitten by a cat and got a TT shot the next day. I've also started my antirabies vaccine. After my first dose, I drank some lemon juice. Should I be worried about that?
These symptoms suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection or food poisoning. Consider the following: Rest and stay hydrated with plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water or sports drinks. Take anti-diarrheal medication like loperamide or consult a doctor for prescription medication. Apply heat to the stomach to alleviate cramps and consider over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for joint pain. Consult a doctor if symptoms worsen, persist, or are accompanied by bloody stools, severe abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing.
