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.

I recently found out that my girlfriend had a past relationship, and now I'm just a bit anxious about things. To be cautious, I decided to get tested for HIV 1 and 2 using the Elisa method, and my results came back with a value of 0.09. I've attached my test report here. Could you help me understand what this means? Should I be worried or take any further steps?

-Hello, It's understandable that you're concerned. A result of 0.09 from the HIV 1 and 2 ELISA test is typically considered negative, as it is well below the cutoff for positivity. However, it's always a good idea to follow up with a healthcare profes

I'm really worried because my wife has had a lump in her right armpit for about three months, and now there's swelling in her right breast too. Her doctor had her do a PPD TB skin test, and it came back positive with a 20 mm induration, even though she doesn't have any typical symptoms like a cough or fever. She's on anti-TB meds now, but I'm wondering if TB could really be causing the lump and the swelling. Is the skin test enough to confirm TB, or should we look into doing more tests? Your advice would be really helpful.

yes tuberculosis can cause lump. skin test is a initial diagnostic test
