I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.

View allI've taken the HIV antibody and p24 antigen tests at the 5-month mark, and again after 6 months, and they both came back negative. I'm really anxious about whether this 6-month window period is enough to be sure that I'm HIV negative. Can you give me some clarity on this?
Based on your negative HIV antibody and p24 antigen tests at 5 months and 6 months post-exposure, it is highly likely that you are HIV negative. The window period for these tests is typically around 4-6 weeks, so testing at 5 and 6 months post-exposure provides a very reliable indication of your HIV status. It is recommended to continue practicing safe sex and regular testing for sexually transmitted infections for overall health maintenance.

So, a stray dog bit me about four weeks ago, and I'm super concerned because I heard rabies is a thing to worry about. The dog actually seems fine right now, hasn't shown any weird symptoms or anything. Could I still be at risk for rabies even though the dog seems healthy after all this time? What do I need to know or do next?
Rabies incubation period varies (typically 2-12 weeks, average 4-6 weeks). Since the bite occurred 28 days ago, rabies infection is still possible

I'm worried about dengue spreading between people. If my wife has dengue and we kiss, could I get infected too?
Dengue is primarily spread through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It is not spread through direct person-to-person contact such as kissing. However, it is important to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites, especially if your wife has dengue. You can use mosquito repellents containing DEET, wear long-sleeved clothing, and use mosquito nets to reduce the risk of mosquito bites. If you develop symptoms of dengue such as high fever, severe headache, pain behind the eyes, joint and muscle pain, rash, and mild bleeding (e.g., nosebleeds, bleeding gums), you should seek medical attention.
