I've been wondering about something since I got bitten by a dog last week. It's a street dog, but it's been taken care of by a family. I'm not sure if it's been vaccinated, so I've started my Rabipur vaccinations and have had three doses so far. With all of this happening, can I eat non-veg food right now? If it's not safe, how long should I wait before I can have it again? Also, if I can have non-veg, are there any specific diet restrictions I should follow for now? Just trying to figure things out.

Variable Stool Texture and Timing

Possible Causes

  1. Gastrointestinal motility: Variations in gut motility can cause changes in stool texture and timing.
  2. Dietary factors: Consuming different types of food or drinks throughout the day can influence stool texture and frequency.
  3. Hormonal fluctuations: Hormonal changes throughout the day can affect bowel movements.
  4. Underlying medical conditions: Certain conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroparesis, or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) can cause variable stool texture and timing.

Common Patterns

  1. Morning stool: Often more solid due to overnight gut motility and hormonal changes.
  2. Afternoon and evening stool: May be flatter or more liquid due to increased gut motility and hormonal changes throughout the day.

Recommendations

  1. Keep a food and symptom diary: Track your diet, stool texture, and any symptoms to identify potential patterns or triggers.
  2. Consult a gastroenterologist: Discuss your symptoms with a specialist to rule out underlying medical conditions.
  3. Maintain a balanced diet: Eat a fiber-rich diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support healthy gut motility and bowel habits.

I'm getting my rabies vaccines right now and I'm wondering if it's okay to eat non-veg like mutton and chicken during this time. Can you advise me on this?

There is no specific diet restriction while on rabies vaccination regimen. You may consume a non-veg diet without concern.

I'm really worried about a situation that happened about a week ago. I had an encounter with a commercial sex worker where I was grinding, rubbing, and poking her nude vagina for around two minutes. I had my underwear on, and there was a release of precum, while she was completely naked. She mentioned that she experienced a leakage of fluids. I'm concerned about the possibility of her fluids getting through my underwear and reaching my urethra. Is there a risk of HIV or any STDs being transmitted through this kind of contact, even with my underwear on? Should I consider getting tested, or am I overthinking? I've read some things online saying it might be nothing, but I would really appreciate your advice.

You do not need to worry about HIV transmission in this scenario, as the virus does not pass through intact fabric like underwear. Naked frottage (grinding without penetration) carries an extremely low to negligible risk for HIV. However, if you're anxious, you can do an **HIV test (4th generation)** after 4 weeks for peace of mind and rule out other STDs with a routine panel. Rest assured, your described exposure is highly unlikely to result in any infection.

I'm a bit worried and need some advice. I had protected intercourse recently, but I'm still planning to get the HIV 1 and 2 tests done just to be safe. I'm wondering if I could get accurate results in 23 days, or does it usually take longer for a final confirmation? Any suggestions on how this process generally works?

You Can get it done at any time but repeat the test after 6 months from now
