I'm worried because I just found out I have typhoid fever, and my test results showed an O antigen level of 1160 and an H antigen level of 180. Does that mean my typhoid is severe? Also, how long should I expect to wait before I start feeling better?

I've been really anxious about this HIV thing. I had protected sex with a sex worker, but I was drinking at the time. From what I remember, there wasn't anything risky involved in what we did. Am I still at risk for HIV?

I'm really concerned about my widal test results and I'm hoping you can help me understand them. The results show agglutination with "O" at a 1160 titer, but there's no agglutination with H, AH, or BH. Does this mean I have typhoid? What do these numbers indicate, and should I be worried about any specific symptoms or follow-up tests? I'm just a bit anxious and want to be sure about what's going on with my health.
