Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, As you are having the symptoms of weakness and aches in joints, restlessness, flatulence, dizziness and tiredness for which your doctor has advised to undergo tidal test. The tidal test revealed S. Typhi H - Positive 1:160 and S. Typhi O - Negative suggest that you are typhoid fever but tidal test is not a confirmatory test for typhoid. If there is a rising titre of tidal it is suggestive of typhoid fever. If tidal test is done after second week it should be confirmed by stool and urine culture. Thank you.
