I've had some tests done for HIV after 3 months, and the results were non-reactive for both the 4th generation HIV test and the HIV RNA qualitative and quantitative tests. Does this mean I'm in the clear, or should I get them checked again? I've been experiencing some symptoms like swollen lymph nodes and a white tongue. Could these just be from stress, or should I be concerned?

I'm a bit stressed because it's been over two weeks and I'm still experiencing this low-grade fever that spikes over 99.8 in the afternoons and normalizes by midnight. The fever tends to increase with even a little activity and comes with a mild headache. Plus, I'm dealing with a lot of gas. Initially, I had body aches and a headache on one side. When I took a blood test after a week, my widal test was positive with s typhi O 1160 and s typhi h 180, but s paratyphi ah was nil. The thing is, the typhidot test came back negative for salmonella typhi igg and igm. I'm really puzzledis this really typhoid or could it be something else? I've been on cefixine 200, dolo650, and nexpro rd40 for 89 days now. If it is typhoid, how long should I expect this low-grade fever to stick around? I'm quite worried about all of this.
It seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of a bacterial infection, possibly typhoid, given the positive Widal test results. However, the negative Typhidot test suggests it might not be a classic case of typhoid. The fever could also be related to other causes like a viral infection or gastrointestinal issues, especially with the presence of gas. Continue with your prescribed treatment, and if symptoms persist or worsen, it's essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more tests.
