The titres do not indicate a positive test. In any case one cannot rely only on the test to diagnose typhoid. One needs to also correlate the symptoms with the test results to arrive at a diagnosis.
You can repeat the Widal test after 3 days and if the titres have gone up then the suspicion of Typhoid can be confirmed
