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 had sex with a prostitute about five months ago where there was a blowjob, some really quick fingering, and we used a condom with Vaseline lubricant. I got tested at a path lab in Malaysia with an HIV 1 and 2 ag ab Elisa test and the results came back non-reactive. I also did a rapid test kit five months later and that was negative too. Do I really need to get tested again at six months, or can I just move on and stop worrying about this?

as you had risky exposure better to get yourself tested for every 6 months for 2 years
