I'm an asymptomatic carrier of salmonella typhi after traveling. am i at high risk for bacteremia or proctitis if i have anal sex?

Probably not, but...: ... you probably shouldn't be having anal sex all (and perhaps not vaginal sex), at least not with new partners, until this problem is gone. If you have a regular partner who is aware of the risk, that should be OK, but you must not put new or unknowing partners at risk. Condoms probably would only partly reduce the risk. But probably no risk for you. See an infectious diseases specialist.

Dear Doctors - can you get anal/rectal symptoms of Mgen (or other STI) without anal sex? In other words, can you get Proctitis even though the entry point was the penis? My healthcare provider says not, but it isnt clear on the web. Thanks?
