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?

I'm a bit worried because my dog, who I've already gotten vaccinated, bit me again within ten days of its last vaccination. Do I need to get another round of anti-rabies vaccinations for myself, even though my dog's vaccinations are up to date?

I'm a bit confused about my Widal test results. The report shows typhi O and typhi H at 180 positives, while paratyphi A and B are both 120 negatives. Does this mean I have typhoid or not? I'm worried and would really appreciate your advice on what these results indicate.

I'm 28 and recently had sex with a prostitute, but I'm not sure about her HIV status. After I got an erection, some serum leaked from the condom and got into her vagina, though she cleaned up right away. I'm pretty worried and just wondering if there's any risk of HIV transmission from this situation?
