I'm really worried because I've been dealing with typhoid fever for about a month now and I'm on antibiotics, but around 10 days ago I developed a sore throat and it's just not getting any better. Can you please give me some advice on what's going on with my sore throat? I'm really concerned about it.

Sore throat is usually not related to Typhoid but may occur. Please see a doctor who will examine your throat and advise you accordingly.

I'm curious and a bit worried about something. If a woman who is HIV positive gives me oral, could I get HIV from that? Also, what are some other ways STDs can spread?

Yes, HIV transmission is possible through oral sex, although the risk is considered lower compared to vaginal or anal sex; according to the CDC, the risk of HIV transmission through oral sex is estimated to be between 0-3% per act, with receptive oral sex (performing oral sex) posing a higher risk than insertive oral sex (receiving oral sex); other possible ways of STD transmission include vaginalanal sex, sharing needles, blood transfusions, and mother-to-child transmission during pregnancybirth.

I'm a bit worried about my recent PCR test result. The CT value came back as 20, and I'm not sure if that means the infection is mild. Could you help me understand what this value indicates and what precautions I should be taking?

I'm dealing with Malaria Plasmodium Falciparum again, the second time in just two months, and now it's turning into a bit of a malaria problem. On top of that, I've got Salmonella Typhoid with OD 1320, Salm. Typh. OA 1160, Salm. Ptyph. OB 1160, and Salm. Typh. HD 1160. My lymphocyte count is really low, at just 3.0, with the reference being 2040. Is taking Ciproflaxin 500mg twice a day for 7 days going to be enough for this? I live in Nigeria, so this is quite a concern for me. Would really appreciate any advice.
