I've been dealing with open wounds for a few days now, and they just won't heal. There's still pus coming out even though I've been using antiseptic cream and bandaging them. On top of that, I'm feeling super tired and restless all the time. Do you have any idea what's going on or what else I should try? I'm getting really worried about this.

View allI'm trying to understand what "salmonella typhi TH 240" means. My result showed salmonella typhi TO 60. Does this indicate a ratio of 140? I'm experiencing a really high fever and feeling concerned. Can you explain this to me?
A "salmonella typhi TH = 240" means a high level of antibodies against *Salmonella typhi*, indicating a possible ongoing or recent infection. Your "TO = 60" suggests a lower antibody level, but it does not exactly represent a 1:40 ratio. Given your very high fever, it's essential to seek immediate medical attention to confirm the diagnosis and get appropriate treatment.

I had an E. coli infection before and now it seems to be coming back there's pus leaking from the surgery site where they drained the previous infection. Is this a sign the infection returned or something else going on?
Pus after prior E.coli abscess drainage could mean reinfection.Need clinical evaluation and possibly repeat antibiotics or drainage.

I had a scare today when the condom broke while I was with a sex worker around noon. We put on another one and finished, but now I'm really worried. I spoke to a doctor and ended up getting some PEP meds - tinofovir disoproxil and raltegravir zepdon for the next 28 days. I'm freaking out about whether I might still get HIV and when I should get tested. Does PEP actually work in these situations? Can you help explain this to me?
I understand your concern, and it's good that you've already consulted a doctor. **PEP (Post-Exposure Prophylaxis)** is effective if started within 72 hours of possible exposure to HIV. Since you started the medication with guidance, it can help reduce the risk of HIV infection. It's important to complete the full 28-day course. You should also follow up with your healthcare provider for HIV testing after about 4 weeks and again at 3 months to ensure accurate results. Stay safe and follow medical advice closely.
