View allI'm trying to understand my Widal test report and I'm pretty worried. It mentions Salmonella typhi O and H at 180 dilutions and Salmonella paratyphi AH and Bh at 1160 dilutions. Is this an indication of a typhoid infection? Could you explain what this means for my health? Also, I'm curious about what kind of diet I should be following right now. Your advice would be really helpful.

Can being bitten or scratched by an Indian bat give someone rabies? Should I get a post-exposure prophylaxis if I've been near bats? I'm really worried about this whole bat thing and would love some advice.

I had a situation a few months ago where I was with a prostitute and the condom broke during sex. The next day, I took her for an HIV test, and thankfully, it came back negative. Since then, I've been really anxious about it even though I've had no symptoms. Can you help me understand what the chances are of something being wrong? I'm trying to calm my nerves but it's tough not knowing.
When she is negative there is almost zero chances of you getting the disease,no need to worry get yourself tested for every 6 months
