I've been dealing with typhoid for the past two months, and it's causing a bunch of issues like relentless weakness, headaches, and nerve pain. I'm really concerned because it doesn't seem to be getting better. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something more serious? What should I do to alleviate these symptoms?

Given your prolonged symptoms, consult your doctor about possible complications or relapse, and consider further testing (e.g., Widal test, blood culture) to determine the best course of treatment, which may include adjusting your antibiotic regimen or addressing potential underlying conditions contributing to your persistent weakness, headaches, and nerve pain.

I'm a bit worried and could use some advice. So, about 20 days ago, I got bitten by a dog and went through the whole rabies vaccination process with the 4 shots. Am I okay to be intimate with my wife now?

yes

I had unprotected sex about a year ago and then tested positive for HSV 12 IgG. Now, after a year, I got retested and it shows negative for HSV. But, whats worrying me is that my Western Blot test says HIV 1 is indeterminate with HIV 1 p24 GAG detected, and HIV 2 is not detected. Also, the HIV 12 ELISA test is negative and the HIV 1 RNA quantitative PCR test shows 'Target Not Detected'. I'm really anxious about what this means. Do I have HIV? What should be my next steps? I'm really hoping for some guidance on how to interpret these results.

Yes you can have it no problem
