I'm really concerned because I've been having a fever that sometimes goes above 103C for the last four months. We've done all sorts of tests like for malaria and typhoid, and they've all come back normal. Blood cells are normal, urine culture, 2D echo, and blood culture are also normal. The fever seems to spike at night, reaching up to 103C, and taking DOLO P650 just makes me sweat a lot but doesnt really help long-term. What's going on here? Why is the temperature still high when everything else seems normal?

The persistent fever of over 103C for four months, despite normal test results, suggests a possible underlying condition that might not be easily detected through routine tests. It could be due to an autoimmune issue, chronic infection, or inflammatory disorder. It's important to follow up with a specialist for further evaluation and possibly more advanced testing.

View allI'm really worried about my brother. He's 21 and had a fever for a long time, and we found out he has TB in his neck. The doctors at the government hospital put him on a treatment with 6 rifampicin pills daily, and after 6 months the node size decreased from 43mm to 29mm. They told him to continue for another month, but after that, they didn't do any follow-up or further checkups before stopping the treatment. Is it normal to stop the treatment without checking if the infection is completely gone or if the node size has decreased more? Should we try to get more checkups to make sure everything's okay?
no donot stop this treatment without consulting your doctor

I'm really worried about typhoid and how it's passed between people. Can it be spread through kissing or other close contact? How likely is it to be transmitted from one person to another this way?
Typhoid fever is not considered a sexually transmitted disease. It is typically transmitted through the ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Salmonella typhi. However, close contact with an infected person can increase the risk of transmission. It is important to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands regularly and avoiding sharing utensils, to help prevent the spread of typhoid fever. If you suspect you have been exposed to typhoid fever, antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin can be prescribed for treatment.

I'm really anxious about my recent HIV RNA test. It was done just two weeks after potential exposure, and the result came back as 100. Can you tell me if this is conclusive or if I need additional testing? I'm really worried and could really use your guidance.
Yes it is conclusive
