Question

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 HIV status after having an unprotected encounter with a sex worker. I've taken several tests: an HIV Antibody Test at 21 days and at 2 monthswhich were both negativethen a CMIA Method test at 12 weeks, and a Rapid Test at 3 months. I also did a CMIA test at 20 and 22 weeks, and all these were negative too. Are these results considered conclusive? I've been experiencing some issues like recurring colds, muscle and joint pains, and low levels of Vitamin D and B. Could these symptoms mean something? I'm just worried and would appreciate some guidance.
