Question

I'm really concerned about my situation here. I was bitten by a street cat before and went through the full rabies vaccination series of 5 doses. Then, 6 months later, the same cat bit me again, and I got 3 more doses of the vaccine. Now, if this same cat bites me once more just 2 months after my last rabies shot, do I need to get vaccinated again? If so, how many doses would be necessary? Also, just to mention, the cat hasn't been vaccinated. What should I do?

Question

I've been taking TB meds for 8 months and my Genexpert test came back negative. But now I'm getting fevers again, like between 101 and sometimes 99.3. What tests should I do to figure out why this is happening?

Question

I had sex with a prostitute about five months ago where there was a blowjob, some really quick fingering, and we used a condom with Vaseline lubricant. I got tested at a path lab in Malaysia with an HIV 1 and 2 ag ab Elisa test and the results came back non-reactive. I also did a rapid test kit five months later and that was negative too. Do I really need to get tested again at six months, or can I just move on and stop worrying about this?
