Doctor, my Widal blood test report shows TO 1:160, TH 1:80, while AH and BH are negative. I want to confirm whether I have typhoid fever or not.

A TO value of 1:160 may suggest exposure, but it is not a confirmation of typhoid. Since AH and BH are negative, it is unlikely to be active typhoid. If symptoms persist (fever, abdominal pain), get further tests.
