I'm currently undergoing treatment for TB lymph nodes, and I've been on the medication for about 10 months now. I've got about 2 months left to complete the course. I'm really anxious about whether it's okay to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on my TB meds. Can you shed some light on this?

View allI'm really anxious right now because I accidentally came into contact with serum blood from someone who's HIV positive at the pathology laboratory where I work. I'm worried about the possibility of getting HIV from this. Can you help me understand the risks or what I should do next?
Accidental exposure to HIV-positive blood can be worrying. To reduce the risk of HIV transmission, you should immediately wash the affected area with soap and water. Additionally, you should seek medical evaluation as soon as possible. Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) medication can be prescribed to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. It is important to start PEP as soon as possible, ideally within hours of exposure, for it to be most effective.

I'm really worried and could use some advice. It's been 9 months since I had unprotected sex, and I've been tested for HIV three times, each time after 3 months. All the results have come back as "Non-Reactive." What exactly does that mean? I'm just so anxious thinking I might have HIV or AIDS. Could you please help me understand this situation?
It's okay to be concerned, but your non-reactive HIV test results at 3, 6, and 9 months are reassuring, as they indicate you are not infected with HIV. If you still feel anxious, consult a doctor for further guidance or counseling to ease your worries.
