I'm trying to understand these test results better. It says "Salmonella typhi O TO Reactive up to Titre 140" and "Salmonella typhi H TH Reactive up to Titre 1160." Then there's "Salmonella paratyphi A H AH Reactive up to Titre 180," but "Salmonella paratyphi B H BH Non Reactive." Should I be worried about these numbers? What's the difference between my typhi and paratyphi results? Any advice on what these mean for my health? I'm kind of concerned about what I should do next.

View allI'm really concerned about my HIV status after having an unprotected encounter with a sex worker. I've taken several tests: an HIV Antibody Test at 21 days and at 2 monthswhich were both negativethen a CMIA Method test at 12 weeks, and a Rapid Test at 3 months. I also did a CMIA test at 20 and 22 weeks, and all these were negative too. Are these results considered conclusive? I've been experiencing some issues like recurring colds, muscle and joint pains, and low levels of Vitamin D and B. Could these symptoms mean something? I'm just worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Based on the negative results from multiple HIV tests at various intervals, it is highly unlikely that you are HIV-positive. However, the symptoms you're experiencing, such as recurring colds, muscle and joint pain, and low vitamin levels, may indicate other underlying health issues. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to further investigate these symptoms and address any deficiencies.

I'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;
