I'm currently undergoing treatment for TB lymph nodes, and I've been on the medication for about 10 months now. I've got about 2 months left to complete the course. I'm really anxious about whether it's okay to get the Covid vaccine while I'm still on my TB meds. Can you shed some light on this?

I'm just curious about how reliable the HIV rapid test is at the six-month mark, like after 180 days. Can you share if it's considered conclusive by then?
No it's not confirmatory, it's screening test, confirmatory test would be ELISA.

I'm a bit worried because I had sex with my wife before realizing she has typhoid. Is there any chance I could catch it too? What steps should I take now?
There is a risk of transmission of typhoid through sexual contact, especially if proper hygiene measures are not followed. It is important for both you and your wife to get tested for typhoid. If the test results are positive, treatment with antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin may be necessary. Additionally, practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding sharing personal items, can help prevent the spread of the infection.
