I'm really worried because I had unprotected oral sex with a commercial sex worker back in October 2020. Since then, Ive had persistent lymphadenopathy. I've taken numerous tests: HIV Tridot on December 6th came back negative, HIV ELISA on December 16th also negative. I had an HIV-1 RNA PCR test in the first week of January which was negative, and then HIV-2 RNA PCR and western blot on January 19th also negative. Even tests like the HIV duo on January 30th and western blot on February 10th were negative, and I did assessments at the 7-month mark including HIV duo, western blot, HIV qualitative RNA PCR, and ICTCall came back negative. Should I still be worried about HIV?

View allI'm really worried because this morning I accidentally drank some water from a can that had a dead rat in it. Can anyone advise me on what I should do now? I'm pretty scared about it, please help!
Immediately rinse your mouth and throat with clean water, then drink plenty of safe water to help flush out your system; monitor yourself for symptoms like fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, which can indicate leptospirosis or other waterborne illnesses;

Hey, I'm really confused about something I came across in my test results. It mentions STyphi O 180, and I'm worried whether it indicates typhoid or some other condition. I don't have much knowledge about this, so any clarity you could provide would be super helpful.
S.Typhi O 1:80 refers to a specific blood test result that indicates a possible infection with Salmonella Typhi, the bacteria that causes typhoid fever. A titer of 1:80 suggests a moderate level of antibodies against the bacteria in your blood. This result is commonly seen in individuals with typhoid fever. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment. The recommended treatment for typhoid fever usually involves antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Azithromycin, taken for a specific duration under medical supervision.

I'm a bit confused about my Widal test results. The numbers are 120, 140, 180, 160, and 1320O with an "H," "AH," and "BH" noted. The interpretation says "not conclusive," so I'm not sure if this means the test is positive or negative. Could you explain what I should understand from this?
The interpretation is not conclusive for a diagnosis of typhoid fever. Further investigations and clinical correlation are needed to confirm the diagnosis. For now, it is recommended to maintain proper hydration and nutrition, get adequate rest, monitor for symptoms such as high fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
