For the past three months now The major symptoms I have are weakness, fatigue, fever and headache, with fatigue and weakness being the most prominent. This has affected my work self I have done several tests and the results usually show malaria and typhoid. At a point and even currently there is no longer any malaria. But typhoid still shows on all my WIDAL tests results. I have taken virtually all typhoid drugs and none seems to alleviate my problems. In fact it gets worse once I start taking any of them. It was that bad, at a point it was counselled that I do other tests to exclude the possibility of other things. The following tests were done viz. HIV - (have done like 4 of it at different times), NEGATIVE.

I cannot see from which place you are but in endemic places (where Diseases is common in the population) for typhoid, WIDAL test is considered positive only if the O antigen and H antigen Titres are more than 1: 160 or 1: 320. It doesn't seem that you have Malaria or Typhoid. If fever still persists, you'll need more detailed assessment nonetheless.
