Question

I recently got some blood work done because I was worried about dengue. My results showed IgG negative, IgM weak positive, and NS1 AG negative, but my platelet count is normal at 2.78. I'm a bit confused about what all this meanscould I be having dengue right now? What should I be looking out for?

It is possible that you have a recent dengue infection. To manage the symptoms and aid in recovery, you can take Paracetamol 500mg every 6 hours for fever and body aches. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I recently found out I have typhoid 1120, and I'm really worried about how long it's going to take before I'm fully recovered and feeling better. Could you let me know what symptoms I should expect and how soon they might go away? Also, I'm a bit unsure about what foods are safe to eat during this time and if there are any specific diet precautions I should follow.

Question

I've been really anxious about my HIV status, so I went for tests at different times. I had an ELISA test on the 14th day, a CMIA test on the 32nd day, and another CMIA test on the 41st day after what I think was my last exposure. All of them came back negative. Can I trust these results and consider them conclusive? Also, how reliable is the CMIA combo test in general?
