So, I went to get my beard shaved at a barber shop, and I noticed that the barber didn't change the blade. I ended up with a small cut too. Should I be worried about the risk of HIV transmission in this situation?

View allI'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 worried about a friend of mine who is HIV positive. She was on this medicine called Teevir from Mylan, but after a few months, she just stopped taking it. I'm wondering if there might be a better doctor or medicine available for her. Is there anything new or different she should try?
Continue same treatment.

I'm trying to understand the results of my recent Widal test. The report shows Salmonella typhi O at 1:160 dilutions and Salmonella typhi H at 1:140 dilutions, plus Salmonella paratyphi AH and BH both at 1:120 dilutions. The impression says it's positive, so does that mean I have a typhoid infection? Could you explain what these numbers indicate? Also, Id really appreciate some advice on what kind of diet I should be following right now.
