I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.

I'm just curious about how reliable the HIV rapid test is at the six-month mark, like after 180 days. Can you share if it's considered conclusive by then?
No it's not confirmatory, it's screening test, confirmatory test would be ELISA.

I recently visited a massage place and something is really bothering me. I was wearing one of those disposable poly pants and lying on my stomach. The massage therapist, who was a woman and nude, sat on my buttocks during the massage, and I ended up ejaculating in my pants. There wasnt any kind of penetration at all. But now Im really worriedwhat if her vaginal fluids somehow got through the disposable pant and came into contact with my penis or anus? Is there any chance I could have contracted HIV from this?
HIV can be transmitted through vaginal secretions without penetration if there is direct contact with the penis or anus
