I'm really worried and need some advice. If I had protection and my penis just touched or rubbed a little against the upper part of the vagina, is there still a risk of HIV? Should I ask him to get tested even though there was no penetration?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The risk of HIV transmission in this scenario is extremely low, especially if protection was used, and there was no penetration or exchange of bodily fluids. Routine testing is not necessary for such contact, but if you're anxious or unsure about potential exposure, getting tested can provide peace of mind.

View allI've been having some trouble with swallowing, like it feels weird or painful. So I went to my doctor, and two weeks ago, they did a throat swab and put me on Amoxicillin for a week. But the test results came back, and it turns out I have Staphylococcus Aureus mrsa. I'm a bit worried because I've heard mrsa can be resistant to Amoxicillin. Does this mean I need a different antibiotic now?
Yes if turns out to be resistant you have to switch to other antibiotic which is sensitive.

I'm feeling a bit anxious and was wondering, is getting an HIV test after 75 days considered conclusive? Could you help clear this up for me, doctor?
Yes, an HIV test conducted 75 days after potential exposure is usually conclusive, and if your result is negative, it is a strong indication that you do not have HIV. However, if you are still concerned, it may be a good idea to follow up with your healthcare provider for confirmation and peace of mind.

I'm a bit worried about my rabies shots. I got 5 doses of the anti-rabies vaccine back in January after a dog bite, but turns out the dog didn't have rabies. Recently, another dog scratched my leg with its teeth, leaving just a scratch with a little blood. This happened about 10 days ago on October 1st. Should I get vaccinated again?
Since you've already completed the full anti-rabies vaccine series in January and the scratch wasn't deep or from a rabid dog, you likely don't need to take the vaccine again. However, if you're still concerned or have any doubts, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional for peace of mind.
