I'm worried about my friend who had a possible HIV exposure. He got tested at 30 days with the HIV12 antibodies combo test from Dr. Lal Path Labs and it came back negative. Then, he took another test at 45 days with SRL lab, and that was negative too. Is there still a chance he could seroconvert after 45 days? This whole situation has got us both stressed out.

I've had a low-grade fever for the past two months, and my doctor recommended some blood tests. The results showed that I have typhoid, my WBC is elevated to 16,000, and my ESR is at 70. I'm really worried about what this could mean and what steps I should take next. Could you please help me understand this better and advise me on what actions are necessary?
HOSPITALIZATION IS IMPORTANT. CONSULT A GENERAL PHYSICIAN M.D.. I.V HIGHER ANTIBIOTICS WITH I.V NORMAL SALINE. ELCTROLYTE IMBALANCE SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY I.V FLUID. DIET IS ALSO TAKEN CARE BY IV FLUIDS. ORAL DIET IS ONLY LIQUIDS SO IT IS PERFECT.

I'm really concerned about my recent blood test results. They showed 1:160 for Salmonella Typhi O and 1:320 for Salmonella Typhi H. I was initially tested because I had viral symptoms. I'm just confused as I don't actually feel any typical Typhoid symptoms. Could this really mean I have Typhoid, or could there be another explanation for these results?
Your Widal test results indicate a positive for Typhoid fever. The titers for Salmonella Typhi O and Salmonella Typhi H are significant at 1:160 and 1:320 respectively. Even if you do not have any symptoms of Typhoid, these results suggest an active infection. It is important to start treatment promptly to prevent complications. You can take antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin with adequate hydration and rest.
