I agree 100% with the advice you were given by your doctor. You had a low risk exposure (HIV in outwardly healthy college students is extremely rare). You didn't need HIV testing at all, but once you had the indeterminate results, exactly the right follow-up testing was done. You can rely 100% on those results; negative p24 and viral load test prove you don't have HIV. Having yet another test in a few weeks is a conservative approach, but you should do it to help deal with your anxiety. You can expect a negative result.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
Thanks Doc for working on the weekends, I NEEDED THAT. For all of you who are going through the same experience The mind plays some serious tricks on you. I will sleep tonight and probley feel much better tomorrow!!...Thanks again!!!
Wow! I cant believe what happened. I just called the lab and they told me that the screening test was never ordered by the walkin clinic and only ordered a western blot. After looking at my other test she told me sweetie you are HIV -. What a 5 week nightmare I have experienced, I think I need a therapist after all of this. Doc why arent these walk in clinics giving any instruction in doing these test? Thanks a million!!!!!!! I feel great!!!
