I've recently done a dengue test and the results showed NS1 weakly positive, but IgM and IgG are both negative. I'm a bit confused about what this means and what kind of treatment I should be looking at. Could you help me understand this better?

View allI'm really worried about my recent exposure and I'm not sure about the window period for an HIV test. Can you tell me how long I should wait before getting tested? Also, I'm looking to find an ICTC government center in Bangalore. Could you advise on where I might find one?
The window period for an HIV test is typically up to 12 weeks after exposure, as it takes time for the body to develop antibodies that can be detected by tests like ELISA. In Bangalore, you can find ICTC (Integrated Counseling and Testing Centre) and government centers at various locations. Some options include: - National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Bengaluru Branch: This branch offers HIV testing and counseling services. - Government Hospitals: Many government hospitals in Bangalore have ICTC centers that provide free or low-cost HIV testing and counseling services. - Private Labs: Some private labs, like those listed on the Practo website, offer HIV testing services, including home sample collection.

I'm feeling really anxious and depressed after an experience with an escort where the condom accidentally slipped. I immediately pulled out and put on a new one, but now I'm really worried about my chances of catching HIV or an STD. It's been three days, and I can't stop thinking about it. Can you help ease my mind or let me know what my risks really are?

I've been dealing with minor fevers recently, especially in the evenings, and I'm worried because I had typhoid almost two years ago. I decided to get some tests done, and the results showed my Typhi IgM is weak positive and typhi H is reactive up to a titre of 140. I'm not sure what this means. Does this indicate I still have typhoid, or is this a normal finding after having had it before?
no it is a minor infection
