I'm really worried about my HIV exposure. I took an HIV test at both 3 months and 7 months post-exposure, and both results were negative. Are these results definitive, or is there a possibility I should get tested again? I would really appreciate your guidance.

I'm really concerned about the different types of typhoid. Can you tell me which one is more serious, the H typhi or the O typhi? I'm worried about which one poses a bigger threat to health.

H typhi and O typhi are both serovars of the bacteria Salmonella enterica. H typhi is also known as Salmonella typhi, which causes typhoid fever in humans. O typhi is another serovar of Salmonella enterica, but it is not commonly associated with causing disease in humans. For the treatment of typhoid fever caused by Salmonella typhi (H typhi), antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin are commonly prescribed. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the severity of the infection and other factors.

I'm looking at my wife's Widal test results, and I'm a bit concerned. The report shows S Typhi O 120, H 120, and S paratyphi AH 120, BH 120. Does this mean she has typhoid? Can you explain what these figures mean and if we should be worried about a typhoid infection?

I recently had protected sex with a sex worker, but she gave me a blowjob without a condom. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV?

While using a condom during vaginal or anal sex significantly reduces the risk of HIV, oral sex (especially unprotected) does carry a lower but not negligible risk. The likelihood of transmission through oral sex is much lower than with penetrative sex, but it's still important to monitor for any symptoms and consider getting tested for peace of mind. If you have concerns, consult a healthcare provider for advice and potential testing.
