I've got a question about the rabies vaccine. So, I had the full rabipur course back in November and December 2019. But then I got exposed again in February 2020 from a dog lick and took booster dosesone on February 4th, another on February 28th, then March 28th, and the last one on April 27th. Now, I'm worried about how long I'm actually protected. If I have another incident like a bite or a lick in the future, what should I do? Can you give me some guidance on this?

View allI'm really worried about some symptoms I've been having. There's swelling in the gland under my jaw at the mandibular angle, and my lymph nodes on the right side of my neck are enlarged. I've been dealing with a discontinuous fever, a headache, and I just can't seem to eat muchIve lost some weight and feel fatigued all the time. I have a history of typhoid, and sometimes I get a sore throat. Theres been a slight decrease in the gland size after some treatment, but Im still concerned. What could this be, and should I be doing anything else?
Considering your wife's fibroid condition, I'll provide a brief overview of the two surgical options: *Myomectomy vs. Hysterectomy* 1. *Myomectomy*: Removes only the fibroids, preserving the uterus. Suitable for women who want to maintain fertility. 2. *Hysterectomy*: Removes the entire uterus, eliminating the risk of future fibroid growth. *Risks Associated with Myomectomy* 1. _Bleeding and hemorrhage_ 2. _Infection_ 3. _Adhesions and scar tissue_ 4. _Fibroid recurrence_ *Recovery Time for Myomectomy* 1. _Hospital stay_: 2-3 days 2. _Recovery time_: 4-6 weeks 3. _Return to normal activities_: 6-8 weeks *Considerations for Your Wife* 1. _Age and fertility desires_: If your wife wants to maintain fertility, myomectomy might be a better option. 2. _Fibroid size and location_: The size and location of the fibroids may impact the complexity of the surgery. 3. _Overall health_: Since your wife's surgical profile is normal, she may be a good candidate for myomectomy.

I'm worried about my friend who had a possible HIV exposure. He got tested at 30 days with the HIV12 antibodies combo test from Dr. Lal Path Labs and it came back negative. Then, he took another test at 45 days with SRL lab, and that was negative too. Is there still a chance he could seroconvert after 45 days? This whole situation has got us both stressed out.
ask him to get tested at an interval of 6 months if that also turns out negative,then he is free from disease
