View allI'm really worried about my syphilis tests. About two months ago, my TPHA level was 1320 and RPR was 12. My doctor put me on doxycycline, 100 mg twice a day for 21 days. After finishing the treatment, I tested again and my TPHA had increased to 1640, with the RPR still at 12. They then gave me a penicillin injection, 2.4 mu, and told me to get tested after another two weeks. This time, my results were TPHA 1640 again, but RPR went up to 14. I even did a test at a different lab and the TPHA was 12560 there. I'm scared and not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand these results?
Your test results indicate a persistent syphilis infection, and the treatment outcomes are concerning; the increasing RPR titers (1:2 to 1:4) and varying TPHA results (1:320 to 1:640 to 1:2560) suggest that the infection may not be responding to the treatments administered; consult a specialist,

I'm really anxious because I had unprotected sex with a woman, and now I'm at 82 days. I've been planning to get an HIV test after 90 days. Lately, I've had a dry cough for about two months. Could this be a symptom of HIV or am I just overthinking it? Can you help me understand this better?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm a 24-year-old female and I've been struggling with typhoid for the past few years. This time, it's hit me twice in just a two-month gap. I had a typhidot test after taking some medicine, and it came back weakly positive. I'm wondering if Monocef is a good option for treating typhoid in my case? I'm also dealing with a lot of weakness, joint pain, chest pain, and headaches. What should I do?
yes monocef is enough and take healthy food and water, normally typhoid take 2 wks to subside
