I'm looking at my widal test results and I'm a bit worried. The values are showing Salmonella Typhi O Antigen at 140 and Salmonella Typhi H Antigen also at 140. Salmonella Paratyphi AH and BH Antigens are both at 120. Does this mean the test is negative? And if so, does that rule out typhoid completely or is there still a chance it could develop later?

negative or low-level result indicating no active typhoid infection at this time

View allI'm really worried because it's been 34 days since I got bitten by a stray dog, and the dog's still alive. Does that definitely mean it wasn't carrying or spreading the rabies virus when it bit me?
If the stray dog that bit you is still alive after 34 days, it significantly reduces the likelihood that the dog was shedding rabies virus at the time of the bite, as dogs typically die within 3-14 days after showing symptoms of rabies, but it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or local animal control for further guidance and to determine if post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is still necessary.

I had sex multiple times with a sex worker and even tried oral. I'm kinda worried now, is there any chance I might have caught an STD or even HIV from this?
Yes, there's a risk of contracting STDs, including HIV, especially if protection wasn't used consistently. Oral sex carries a lower risk but isn't completely safe. It's important to get tested promptly to ensure your health and peace of mind.
