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.

I got a little scratch from a stray kitten who hasn't been vaccinated yet. It wasn't really bleeding, so I put off getting vaccinated myself. I ended up getting the rabies shot 44 hours after and a tetanus shot after 28 hours. Do you think this was too late, or am I still okay? I'm a bit worried and would love your take on it.

ideally within 24-48 hours so no need to worry

I'm really worried because I had protected sex with a prostitute and during it, I noticed blood on the condom and my stomach. She mentioned she was on her period, but now I'm anxious about whether there's anything else I should be concerned about. This happened about 18 hours ago. Could you please help me understand if there's a risk for anything or anything I should do now?

Immediately get yourself tested and visit Physician for appropriate management

I'm really worried about my HIV status. I had unprotected sex about a year ago and did a screening test for HIV 1 and 2 antibodies, which came back non-reactive at 0.1. I recently took the HIV 1, 2, and p24 combo test again and got the same non-reactive 0.1 result. Should I be concerned, or can I trust these results?

can you clarify your concern i am unable to understand your concerns
