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 about something. I had sex with a condom with a commercial sex worker, and there was some kind of cut or abrasion on my penis shaft inside the condom. The condom didn't break or slip during sex, but I'm anxious about the risk of HIV transmission when taking the condom off. Could you help me understand what the chances are?

There is minimal risk,but try to avoid having sex until your wound is healed,and get yourself tested for HIV every 6 months once.
