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?

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 recently had protected sex on June 26th and got an HIV RNA PCR test done on July 12th, which is like 15 days later. I'm really anxious to know if the results will be accurate. Is it true that you can do an HIV RNA PCR test after just 10 days?
For an accurate HIV RNA PCR test result, it's typically recommended to wait at least 10-14 days after potential exposure. Since you tested 15 days after the incident, it should provide a fairly reliable result, but the accuracy improves with more time. For complete certainty, consult with your doctor.

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.

What are the chances I could get rabies if I missed the 3rd shot and ended up taking it later along with the 4th? I got bitten by a stray cat on December 5, 2017. The bite wasn't too deep, but it was bleeding a bit. I washed it with soap and put on some Soframycin as soon as I got home. I had my first shot on December 6, the second on December 9, but then I missed the third one which I later took on December 20 along with the fourth shot. The fifth shot was on December 27, and I'm supposed to have my last one on January 3. Should I be worried about rabies?
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Based on the information provided, your: NT (nuchal translucency) at 13 weeks was slightly elevated (3.2mm), but amniocentesis and NIPT reports showed low risk. Please share the 20-week anomaly scan report for a more accurate assessment. Generally, a 20-week scan checks for fetal anatomy and detects potential abnormalities. A healthcare professional or a fetal medicine specialist should review the report to confirm if everything appears normal.
