I'm trying to understand the results of my recent Widal test. The report shows Salmonella typhi O at 1:160 dilutions and Salmonella typhi H at 1:140 dilutions, plus Salmonella paratyphi AH and BH both at 1:120 dilutions. The impression says it's positive, so does that mean I have a typhoid infection? Could you explain what these numbers indicate? Also, Id really appreciate some advice on what kind of diet I should be following right now.

I'm just a bit worried and curious about something. If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, what are the chances of someone else getting infected? Also, after the window period, what kind of HIV test would be good enough to rely on?
If a prostitute tests negative for HIV, the chances of others getting infected are low but not zero. It is still possible for HIV to be transmitted through unprotected sexual contact or sharing needles with someone who is HIV positive. After the window period, the most common and reliable HIV test is the HIV antibody test. This test looks for antibodies that your body makes in response to the HIV infection. It is important to follow up with healthcare provider for proper testing and guidance.

I'm really worried because I had 23 lymph nodes on my neck after finishing my TB treatment. After seeing a doctor, I was given Moxif 400 and Pantocide 40, which helped, and the nodes burst out. I was fine for a while, but now after 7 months, a single node is back with pus-like symptoms. I'm really anxious about what's the best treatment for this and how long it will take to heal. Is there a chance it could come back again after 6 or 7 months even after getting treated? Please, I need some guidance on what to do.
Yes ,continue same treatment as advised by the pulmonologist. If symptoms re-appear pulmonologist opinion is advised.
