Hi, thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Samonella Typhi====1:160 (mild +ve or weak)
Typhi============1:320 ( strong +ve)
Typhi A ============1:20 ( negative 100%)
Typhi===============1:20 ( negative 100%)

One strain is positive and 2 nd is mild , so you have to take a complete course of treatment for typhoid fever .
Point to be noted that negative result will come after 6 month of treatment stopping.
Good luck
