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.

View allI'm a bit concerned after getting my covid test results. When I took the test, I had a cough, and my CT value was 21. Now, I don't have any cold or cough symptoms anymore. Is this something I should be worried about? What do you think?
A CT value of 21 indicates a high viral load at the time of testing. Since you no longer have cold or cough symptoms, it is a good sign that your body has likely fought off the infection. However, it is still important to monitor your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance. In the meantime, you can consider taking a course of antibiotics like Azithromycin 500mg once daily for 5 days to prevent any secondary bacterial infections.

I've been really anxious since I had sex about a month ago. I did an HIV ELISA test, and it came back nonreactive. If I decide to get tested again after three months, what are the chances that the results will be the same? Or could they change? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect.
If you had a non-reactive result on an HIV ELISA test one month after having sex, it is a good sign. However, it is recommended to get tested again after 3 months for a more conclusive result. The result after 3 months may still be non-reactive, but it is important to confirm with another test to be sure.

I'm really stressed out because I had protected sex about a month ago, and now I can't stop worrying about the possibility of having contracted HIV. I'm not sure what to do or if I should get tested. Can you please give me some guidance on this?
I understand your concern, but if you used protection, the risk of HIV transmission is extremely low. However, if you're still worried, consider getting tested for peace of mind. It's always best to address your concerns with a healthcare provider who can guide you further.
