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've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?

Repeat it after 6 months and visit Physician for appropriate management

I'm a bit confused about my Widal test results. The report shows typhi O and typhi H at 180 positives, while paratyphi A and B are both 120 negatives. Does this mean I have typhoid or not? I'm worried and would really appreciate your advice on what these results indicate.
