Dear doctor,
I had my last sexual exposure 11 months 2 weeks back that was unprotected oral with a women of unknown status and then again 8 months back i had unprocted anal intercourse for about less than a minute with a girl of unkown status , i later asked her she said she does not have HIV.
I am a future doctor , being studying medicine for the last 4 years at university.However i have the following questions to ask you -
1) I Had a duo test done for p24 antigen and antibody to hiv 1/2 , twice.I heard this has a high false negative rate.Is the test conclusive at 7 months post exposure ? And if i was positive but still in my window period ( a rare late seroconverter) my p24 antigen would still have been detected right ?
2)I had a proviral pcr dna test done , it was negative , this was 7 months 2 weeks post exposure.is this test conclusive this late or only detects virus at earlier times ? And is it possible for my viral load to be under 100 copies at 7 months 2 weeks post exposure without me taking any HIV medicine ?
3)What is the range for a healthy CD4 and CD8 count in a HIV negative person ? I am male , 20 years old and i do smoke i went for the test at 6 months 2 weeks post exposure.My result was cd4 count 527 and cd8 count 421.Is this normal for a negative person ?
4)Do x-rays and antibiotics affect the conclusiveness of the HIV tests ? And I had 2 CBC counts they were all normal , does this indicate i do not have any infections in the body ?
5)Have you ever seen anybody have a negative PCR test and antibody test at 8 months post exposure but seroconvert later ?
6)I have a feeling of weakness and fatigue for 2 months now , don't know what is causing it . Do ARS symptoms occur 7 months post exposure ?
And does a HIV related fever dissapear in 3 days of having medicine ? the fever was around 101 then went down on me having crocin.
Thanks sir
Clarence
