I'm looking at my widal test results and I'm a bit worried. The values are showing Salmonella Typhi O Antigen at 140 and Salmonella Typhi H Antigen also at 140. Salmonella Paratyphi AH and BH Antigens are both at 120. Does this mean the test is negative? And if so, does that rule out typhoid completely or is there still a chance it could develop later?

negative or low-level result indicating no active typhoid infection at this time

I'm really concerned about my recent blood test results. They showed 1:160 for Salmonella Typhi O and 1:320 for Salmonella Typhi H. I was initially tested because I had viral symptoms. I'm just confused as I don't actually feel any typical Typhoid symptoms. Could this really mean I have Typhoid, or could there be another explanation for these results?

Your Widal test results indicate a positive for Typhoid fever. The titers for Salmonella Typhi O and Salmonella Typhi H are significant at 1:160 and 1:320 respectively. Even if you do not have any symptoms of Typhoid, these results suggest an active infection. It is important to start treatment promptly to prevent complications. You can take antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin with adequate hydration and rest.
