General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
What test you have undergone is WIDAL test to screen for typhoid fever. The result at this stage could be said that it is negative.
In case you still have fever and it is suspected to be typhoid, then you need to see for exact measurement of titres and/or blood culture depending on its necessity.
Hope the information provided is clear.
All the best.
