I'm a bit worried about my Widal test results. My Typhi O is 180 positive and Typhi H is 140 positive, but Typhi AH and BH are negative. I've had a fever for the past five days. Does this mean I have typhoid?

View allSo about three weeks ago, I had a situation where the condom broke during intercourse, and it was only for like 13 seconds. The girl is confirmed HIV positive, and I've been really stressed since then. I did a PCR qualitative HIV test on the 13th day after it happened, and then a duo combo HIV test the next day, both came back negative. Then I took another duo HIV test on the 23rd day, and that was negative too. Do these results mean I'm in the clear, or should I still be worried until I hit the 28-day mark for the confirmatory duo test?

I had sex with someone new last night and during it the condom broke. It took me about a minute before fixing it and switching to a new one. Now I'm stressed about the risk of getting HIV from this. Is there a real chance I got infected? What should I do now if there's a possibility of having caught something?
Hi, I understand your concern. There's a potential risk of HIV transmission if the other person is HIV positive. I recommend starting **PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis)** within 72 hours and getting tested. Please consult a doctor immediately for evaluation and guidance.
