Question

I'm looking at my wife's Widal test results, and I'm a bit concerned. The report shows S Typhi O 120, H 120, and S paratyphi AH 120, BH 120. Does this mean she has typhoid? Can you explain what these figures mean and if we should be worried about a typhoid infection?

Question

I'm dealing with MDR TB and have been getting daily kanamycin injections for three months now. Lately, every time the nurse pulls out the syringe, it starts bleeding and the blood looks diluted. It doesn't stop bleeding for 20 to 25 minutes. What should I do about this bleeding issue?

Question

I work in a medical lab and often deal with blood samples from patients. Sometimes blood accidentally splashes on my face and even into my eyes. I know that the eyes have mucous membranesso does that mean HIV can be transmitted this way? Could you explain if the eye can be a transmission route for HIV?

Question

I'm trying to understand the window period for the HIV 1 and 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test, like the CMIA test. Is it safe to say that getting tested three months after exposure would give me a conclusive result? I've been stressing about it and just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. Can you shed some light on this?
