I've been having a fever for the past 78 days, and my temperature's been hanging around 98.6 to 99 degrees Celsius. I was on antibiotics after seeing a doctor, but with my recent blood test, it says S. typhi H is positive at 180. Even with the medication from the doctor, my fever is still at 99 degrees. Can you please tell me what's going on or what I should do next?

I'm really anxious about a recent encounter I had with someone at a spa. We only had straight vaginal sex for about a minute and used a new condom, which didn't break. She removed it carefully with tissue, so I thought everything was okay. I got tested for HIV 12 days later, and it came back non-reactive, but I'm still really nervous because I don't know if she has HIV or not. What should I do?
No need to worry get your self tested 6 months once for a period of 2 years as you had risky exposure.

I've noticed that every time I get a fever, malaria P. vivax seems to be the diagnosis, and I'm usually treated with Resochin 250mg and Basokuine. The problem is, it seems to come back again after some time. I'm really looking to find a way to prevent this from happening permanently. Any advice on what to do?
To prevent recurrent malaria caused by P. vivax, you will need a radical cure, usually with primaquine or tafenoquine, in addition to the standard treatment. Ensure you complete the full course of treatment, and take preventive measures to avoid mosquito bites and reinfection. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to ensure there is no relapse. If you have frequent relapses, it's important to discuss this with your doctor, as they may recommend further investigation or a change in treatment approach.
