I've been getting really anxious about my HIV status and could really use some advice. Nine months ago, I had unprotected sex, and since then, I've been super vigilant about getting tested. I've taken the HIV 12 test every three months up to now, and each time it's come back NonReactive. Should I be worried or does this mean I'm in the clear?

I'm a bit worried because my dog, who I've already gotten vaccinated, bit me again within ten days of its last vaccination. Do I need to get another round of anti-rabies vaccinations for myself, even though my dog's vaccinations are up to date?

Hey, I recently had an HIV exposure and it's been about 22 days now. I went for an HIV proviral DNA test and it came back as non-reactive, which is a relief. But, I've started noticing some acne on my chest. Could this be an early symptom of HIV infection? I'm a bit worried and would love to hear your thoughts.
