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?

Concerns about a child's fever are natural.
Current situation:
- Age: 1.5 years
- Fever: 101.4F (38.6C)
- Medication: Crocin (6ml) since yesterday night
Next steps:
- Consult a pediatrician: Reach out to your child's pediatrician for guidance.
- Monitor temperature: Continue tracking your child's temperature.
- Watch for other symptoms: Look for signs of distress, such as difficulty breathing, vomiting, or diarrhea.
- Keep your child hydrated: Offer plenty of fluids, like breast milk, formula, or electrolyte-rich beverages.
When to seek immediate attention:
- Fever above 104F (40C)
- Difficulty breathing
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Refusal to drink fluids
- Seizures or convulsions
Consult a pediatrician for personalized advice.

View allI'm trying to understand these test results better. It says "Salmonella typhi O TO Reactive up to Titre 140" and "Salmonella typhi H TH Reactive up to Titre 1160." Then there's "Salmonella paratyphi A H AH Reactive up to Titre 180," but "Salmonella paratyphi B H BH Non Reactive." Should I be worried about these numbers? What's the difference between my typhi and paratyphi results? Any advice on what these mean for my health? I'm kind of concerned about what I should do next.

I had oral sex with a girl and ejaculated in her mouth back in November 2018 and I didn't know her blood status. Eight days after the encounter, I did a PCR RNA test and it was negative. Then, at one month, I took an HIV Tridot and syphilis test, both negative. At 75 days, I repeated the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests, and they were also negative. I took the HIV Tridot and Syphilis VDRL tests again on January 30. Those came back negative too. Is the HIV Tridot test accurate after 82 days? I'm really anxious about this...
It's understandable to feel concerned, but based on the tests you've had, including the HIV Tridot after 82 days, it is highly accurate, and a negative result is reassuring. HIV testing generally gives reliable results after 3 months, so you can have peace of mind. If you still feel anxious, consulting with a healthcare provider for further guidance is always a good step.
