I'm really anxious right now. After I took off the condom, I accidentally touched the tip of my penis with the same hand. Could this be a risk for HIV or any other harm? I'm pretty scared about this.

I've been dealing with minor fevers recently, especially in the evenings, and I'm worried because I had typhoid almost two years ago. I decided to get some tests done, and the results showed my Typhi IgM is weak positive and typhi H is reactive up to a titre of 140. I'm not sure what this means. Does this indicate I still have typhoid, or is this a normal finding after having had it before?

no it is a minor infection

Can you use a vacutainer needle without a safety lock on a different patient if its already been used on someone else? Also, is there a risk that the blood might clot in the needle, causing it not to work properly? What are the chances of someone getting HIV if blood is accidentally drawn with a needle that's already been used? Even if the blood is flowing out and not in, is there still a risk of HIV transmission?

kindly don't use contaminated needles or Vacutainer's and follow proper sterilized methods . Yes, there is a chance of transmission of various infections not only HIV. There are many other infections as well.
