I'm really anxious because I had unprotected sex with a woman, and now I'm at 82 days. I've been planning to get an HIV test after 90 days. Lately, I've had a dry cough for about two months. Could this be a symptom of HIV or am I just overthinking it? Can you help me understand this better?

View allI'm dealing with Malaria Plasmodium Falciparum again, the second time in just two months, and now it's turning into a bit of a malaria problem. On top of that, I've got Salmonella Typhoid with OD 1320, Salm. Typh. OA 1160, Salm. Ptyph. OB 1160, and Salm. Typh. HD 1160. My lymphocyte count is really low, at just 3.0, with the reference being 2040. Is taking Ciproflaxin 500mg twice a day for 7 days going to be enough for this? I live in Nigeria, so this is quite a concern for me. Would really appreciate any advice.

I'm a bit worried about my health. I've had a fever for the past three days, and my test results show IgG is negative, IgM is weak positive, and Ns1 antigen is weak positive. Could you help me understand what this might mean? Does this indicate that I might have Dengue? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on.
Your test results strongly suggest a possible early dengue infection, given the weak positive NS1 antigen and IgM. Early-stage symptoms and lab tests are critical to confirm and monitor the disease progression. Consult your doctor immediately for appropriate care and monitoring.
