Question

So, I recently had a widal test and my results came back with titers at 1:20, 1:40, 1:80, 1:160, and 1:320. I'm kind of confused about what these numbers actually mean for my health. Should I be concerned? What do these results indicate about my condition? Any advice would be really helpful.

Question

I'm really concerned about my wife. She has typhoid with a Widal test showing 320 titers, but no malaria. On top of that, she's three weeks pregnant. I'm worried about what treatment options are safe for her and the baby. Could you please help with advice on what we should do?

Question

I'm married and it's been about 1.5 years now. I don't smoke or drink at all, but I'm getting worried because a few months ago, my wife had fistula surgery and her HIV test was negative at that time. The gynecologist recommended I take a retrovirus test, and it's been stressing me out. I had an HIV test done about 5 years ago and it was non-reactive. Do you think there's any chance of the virus getting transmitted? I'm pretty anxious about it and not sure what I should do next.

Question

I'm trying to understand the differences between the Tri-dot test and the ELISA method for HIV screening. Which one is more accurate, and is there a reason why youd choose one over the other? I'm a bit worried and want to make sure I get the right test.
