My cat bit me again today. I got the Abhayrab vaccine back in July, with the full series of 5 shots. Since the bite happened today, on November 19th, 2017, I'm wondering if I need to get vaccinated again, take a booster, or if I'm already protected and don't need to worry. Could you help me figure out what I should do?

Methi (Fenugreek) and Hypothyroidism

Methi's Effect on Thyroid

Goitrogenic properties: Methi contains compounds that may interfere with thyroid function, potentially worsening hypothyroidism.

Thyroid hormone absorption: Methi may also reduce the absorption of thyroid hormones, such as levothyroxine (Thyronorm).

Precautions

Moderation is key: If you have hypothyroidism, consider limiting or avoiding methi consumption.

Consult your doctor: Discuss your diet and methi consumption with your doctor to determine the best approach.

Fruits to Limit or Avoid for Thyroid Health

Pears: High in goitrogens, which may interfere with thyroid function.

Peaches: Contain a compound that may reduce thyroid hormone production.

Apricots: High in goitrogens, which may worsen hypothyroidism.

Plums: Contain a compound that may interfere with thyroid hormone production.

Remember

Balance is essential: A well-balanced diet with minimal goitrogenic foods can support thyroid health.

I'm really worried about my HIV status after having unprotected sex. How soon can I get reliable results from an HIV1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test? I've heard it's different from a qualitative test, so I want to make sure I get accurate information.

After unprotected sex, the HIV-1 RNA quantitative real-time PCR test can give a quantitative HIV status typically within 9 to 11 days post-exposure. It is important to note that this test measures the amount of HIV virus present in the blood, rather than simply detecting its presence.

Is it possible to catch rabies from a 1-month-old puppy that hasn't had its shots yet, just through playful bites and licking? There aren't any bite marks or wounds, but I'm wondering if rabies can be transmitted without any bleeding involved.
