I'm really concerned because I've been on medication for the past three days, and I still have a 99.5-degree temperature. My test results showed that both typhoid and dengue IgM are weakly positive. Could there be something else going on, or is this type of fever expected? I'm not sure if I should be worried or if this is normal recovery.

View allI'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

I know that the eyes have mucous membranesso does that mean HIV can be transmitted this way? Could you explain if the eye can be a transmission route for HIV?
