A positive tidal test indicates that the serum of a person is having higher amount of bacterial antigens than that of serum in comparison. The body takes about 6 weeks of time to clear the whole of such antigens. Certain type of bacteria are resistant, to be sure of relapse, please consult a doctor who might do more investigation and help you.
