I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.

I recently got my HIV test results back, and they came out as non-reactive with a COI of 0.290. I'm a bit confused about what this means. Is it a positive or negative result? Can you help me understand?
I can understand your concern. Why were you advised hiv 1 and 2 test in the first place? Was there any history of risky behaviour recently? The present report which you have posted here is negative. There's nothing to worry regarding it. But if there's any recent history of risky behaviour, then repeat the test after 3 months. Because the test can be negative during window period.

I'm really worried because my dog recently had rabies and unfortunately passed away. I didn't get bitten or scratched, but I did come into contact with its saliva. Back in 2016, I took a series of 5 rabipur shots after a bite exposure, and this year I went for a single rabipur booster. Do I need to get more shots now? I'm pretty anxious about this, so any advice would be really appreciated.
2 shots of rabipur should be taken , if saliva has touched any open wound. otherwise not. required
