Possible HIV Transmission through Cut Touch?

Hello, I had a cut on my hand and another person's hand touched my wound. I saw the cut on his hand too, but I didn't feel any moisture after touch. Is it possible for HIV to be transmitted in this way?

Answered on 6th Aug '24

HIV spreads mainly from unprote­cted sex, nee­dles, or transfusions. Getting it through touching is very rare­. If there was no blood or fluid, the chance­s are tiny. Symptoms like feve­r, tiredness, swollen glands may occur. But talk to a doctor if you're­ concerned. They can e­ase your worries and maybe te­st you.

I was bitten by a dog an year ago. I visited the doctor and he said it isn't dangerous and I should get 5 injections. But I only got the 4 of them, well I wasn't very worried about it because I thought It is okay but a few days ago when I shared this story with my fellows. They started to give me weird thoughts like you should've gotten all the injections. Its going to kill you etc and now I am starting to get really worries. Well, should I consult the doctor again and get the last injection or what should I do can you please give me any advive

Female | 17

Dog bites can introduce­ harmful bacteria. All recommende­d injections after a bite are­ crucial. They prevent pote­ntial infections. Missing the last dose raise­s risk for later infection deve­lopment. Your consultation and final injection ensure­ health. Consult your doctor and complete the­ process.

Consult your doctor, a general phy. for advice on managing uric acid and blood sugar levels. Be cautious with apple cider vinegar's effects on uric acid, and consider moderate consumption of sprouts if you have elevated uric acid levels. Check with your doctor for guidance on a balanced diet and lifestyle changes. Avoid significant dietary changes without medical advice.

How long will 3 mg melatonin keep me asleep

Female | 23

melatonin should be seen as facilitating sleep rather than as an inducing sleep medication. The result is not the same for everyone who is using 3 mg of melatonin, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to stay asleep after taking the dosage. For sleep-related diseases, always consult a sleep specialist.

Female | 37

Being tired and having so little energy can be your body still weakly getting over the chronic food poisoning. A lack of B12, D3, and iron is also the reason for drowsiness. Don't forget to eat healthy, drink enough water, and keep on with your yoga and meditation. Be patient, as healing is a lengthy process. Stress prevention is a significant point for your health.

Mujhe 2 saal pahele vaccinated dog ne kata tha aur maine vaccination nhi karwaya tha toh kya mujhe koi problem ho sakti hai

Female | 16

If bitten by a dog, get medical attention right away. Rabies is an acute syndrome of fatality and cannot be treated after symptoms appear. The vaccine is very effective but only if it was given before the appearance of symptoms. If you have been bitten by a dog, contact an appropriate medical specialist as soon as possible.

The problem is more possible bacteria or viruses from the dog's saliva in the mouth. You might exhibit rash, swelling, or pain in your hand. For safety, then, make sure you wash your hands with soap and water, the guideline of washing the hands for 20 minutes.

Hi, Our 1.1 year old baby did a blood test, and several abnormal values were found: IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES 0.18 k/ul IMMATURE GRANULOCYTES % 1.4 NEUTROPHILS % 16 LYMPHOCYTES 10 k/ul LYMPHOCYTES % 76.8 MONOCYTES % 4.6 HEMOGLOBIN 10.6 G/Dl MCHC 31.5 G/Dl MYELOCYTES BS % 0.9 ANISOCYTOSIS + MICROCYTES + The test was done after having several bacterial and viral infections in a row (we finished with antibiotics 2 days before the test). Is there a reason to worry? Thanks!

Male | 1

Test results suggest that your 1.1-year-old baby has viral or bacterial infection, which is still going on. Probably, you should see a pediatrician ASAP and bring the results of the test along with you. They will show you the right way of treatment. Don't put off seeking medical care too much.
