I'm a bit worried after looking at my throat ultrasound report. It mentions something about an infectious etiology like Koch's disease. Can you explain what that means? Is it something serious I should be concerned about?

I'm really worried because I had an HIV ELISA test for my visa, and the result was 0.14, which I know is negative. But why didn't it come out as 0? Is it even possible for someone to actually get a 0 on their HIV ELISA test?

In HIV ELISA testing, a result of 0 does not typically occur as it indicates no presence of antibodies at all, which is rare. A result of 0.14 is considered negative for HIV, as it is below the cutoff value for a positive result. This means that there were no significant levels of HIV antibodies detected in your blood sample. It is important to continue practicing safe sex and regular testing for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.

I'm a bit confused about my Widal test results. The report shows typhi O and typhi H at 180 positives, while paratyphi A and B are both 120 negatives. Does this mean I have typhoid or not? I'm worried and would really appreciate your advice on what these results indicate.
