I've got a question about my recent HIV test. I took an HIV 1 RNA PCR Quantitative test about six weeks after potential exposure, and the result was "target not detected." Is this result completely conclusive, or should I think about getting tested again later? I'm a little worried and want to be sure everything's okay.

I've been experiencing something strange and it's a bit concerning. Every evening around 5 o'clock, I start getting a fever, and it sticks around until about 9 o'clock. After that, I feel completely fine, only for it to happen again the next day. This has been going on for the past 15 days. I'm on antibiotics, but they don't seem to be helping. The blood test says I have typhoid, but I don't notice any other symptoms of it in myself. What should I do?

Follow proper antibiotic course and immunizing diet
