Question

I'm feeling quite anxious about something that happened over three weeks ago. I got bitten on the hand by a bat, and when I saw a general physician, they suggested just a tetanus shot. They mentioned that rabies vaccines aren't necessary for bat bites here in India. But I'm getting worried now. Is that really the case? Should I be doing anything else to protect myself from rabies?

Question

I'm really worried right now. I had a one-time encounter with an escort and we used a condom. I'm super concerned about my chances of getting HIV from this. Can you give me some insight on that? Also, Id really appreciate it if you could recommend which STD tests I should consider getting. I'm pretty anxious about this whole situation.

Question

I'm feeling really anxious about something that happened yesterday. After work, I got a haircut and ended up with some small razor cuts on my head. This morning, my friend who has HIV and had a wet, moist wound on his palm touched the same area on my head where those cuts are. I'm really concerned about whether there's any risk of contracting HIV from this. Could you help me understand if I should be worried?
