I'm worried because I kissed someone on the lips who has been getting the rabies vaccine after a dog bite. Is there a chance I could get infected from this? Do you think I should get the rabies vaccine too just to be safe?

View allI just got my dad's blood test report and it says IGG is negative, IGM is positive, and the NS1 antigen is negative. I'm kind of worried and wondering, does this mean he might have Dengue virus? Could you help me understand these results?

I'm just a bit worried and curious about something. If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, what are the chances of someone else getting infected? Also, after the window period, what kind of HIV test would be good enough to rely on?
If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, the chances of others getting infected are low but not zero. It is still possible for HIV to be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or sharing needles with someone who is HIV positive. After the window period, the most common and reliable HIV test is the HIV antibody test. This test looks for antibodies that your body makes in response to the HIV infection. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.

I'm really confused and worried because it's been two years and my HIV tests are still negative, but I'm experiencing symptoms like nail lines, oral thrush, itchy and painful lips and tongue, swollen lymph nodes in my neck, and a burning and numb sensation in my legs and hands. Could I be a late seroconverter even though my results are negative? What should I do when my symptoms don't match the test results?
You should test for HIV viral load, and CD4 count.
