Question 1

haven't had period since march. had sex in april used protection with no holes or leaks found. stressed, was suffering staph infection. what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Pregnant?: With no period since march, the most important thing would be to rule out that you're pregnant. Urine pregnancy tests are easy to purchase over the counter without a prescription and are easy to use.

Question 2

what is the incubation period of rabies in children after an exposure?

Accepted Answer

RABIES: Rabies is a serious viral encephalitis transmitted by saliva of infected bats and certain animals.The incubation period is 1 to 2 months to more than 1 year. Initial  symptoms are nonspecific followed by encephalitis, ascending paralysis and hydrophobia.

Question 3

hello is two year after exposure enough to detect hpv by dna test? is incubation period related to appearing of the symptoms or being detectable by test?

Accepted Answer

Antibody test: HPV is  usually tested by antibody test rather than DNA.  Vast majority of the people are able to eliminate the HPV virus. You are still young enough that you should take HPV vaccine to prevent infection with other strains of the virus.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.

Question 4

are the rapid covid tests accurate?
can the covid tests pick up the variants that are in the news now?

what is the incubation period for covid?  would you know by day 8 of possible exposure?

Accepted Answer

: Once infected with Covid-19, symptoms can begin anywhere from day 3 to day 8. Look for fever, dry cough, muscle aches. Many people will have no symptoms.  If you have been exposed in close proximity to someone who had covid 19, self isolate for 14 days to prevent spread and get tested. see a Dr for worsening difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, blue lips/nails or confusion/lethargy.

Question 5

what is the typical incubation period for the delta variant of covid-19? how soon after exposure would symptoms become apparent? is the timing different than with the initial strain seen last year?

Accepted Answer

: The Delta variant is more infectious with a briefer incubation period as early as about 1-3 days.  Nasal rhinorrhea and sore throat may be more prominent with this presentation.  If  you have concern, obtain a PCR COVID-19 test.  If not vaccinated and not actively infected, get the jab.

Question 6

how doctors explain the long incubation period (>1 year) of rabies , can pep vaccination still be effective after 9 months of possible exposure?

Accepted Answer

Rabies is tricky: Rabies is known for a wide variation in the incubation period. The average is 3 weeks to 3 months for infection to take hold. About 5% of cases occur 1 year after exposure. The longest case on record is 19 years. Experts don't know exactly why this is-but it probably has to do with the virus strain, other  viral properties, the patient (how strong their immune system is) etc. YES-I agree with PEP!

Question 7

what will happen after the incubation period for covid 19?

Accepted Answer

If infected: a person may become ill or may have no obvious symptoms. Symptoms of COVID 19 infection may include (but aren’t limited to) dry cough, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, fever, headache, sore throat, feeling tired,  loss of sense of taste/smell, decreased appetite, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, chills without or without shaking &amp; muscle aches.

Question 8

what is the incubation period for impetigo before it starts showing up?

Accepted Answer

1 to 3 days: It takes 1 to 3 days for the rash to appear after you aquire the infection.

Question 9

what is the incubation period for the flu in men?

Accepted Answer

5-7 days: 5-7 days, same in men, women, and kids.

Question 10

typical incubation period for rabies symptoms in humans?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on location of the bite or other exposure, becauset it takes time for the rabies virus to ascend through the nerves to the brain. Exposure on the hand or foot can take a couple of weeks; on the face it can be only a few days. If you've had a known or suspected exposure, don't take chances:  contact your doctor or the local or state health department ASAP.
