4th generation test question
Dear all, this wasn't a thread just for my personal knowledge. A HIV test that look for HIV 1 & 2 AB/AG is consider as a 4th generation test right?
Hi there.
This should be in a new thread really buddy but I will answer here.
Your test is conducive and would have been by 42 days even if it was a 3rd generation.
There is no way at all that your symptoms, which were way too early and non indicative of HIV, were anything to do with you encounter.
You can start to sleep again now knowing that you are absolutely HIV negative, your result will not change.
Best Wishes

First of all i would like to thank you for helping people through this forum.
I'm 29 male.I performed unprotected oral sex(cunnilingus) and protected vaginal sex on an escort. After the exposure within a day i had fever, cold and sorethroat and diarrhea. I used clarithromycin antibiotic and cleared them all within a week.I still have night sweats and didn't have any other symptoms like loss of appetite,swollen lymphnodes, rash,fever till 3 months after that initial symptoms which occured within a day.
After 92 days of exposure i got tested for HIV and other important blood tests. All the blood results were normal and the HIV result was negative.I don't know whether the HIV test was performed using a 3 or 4 generation . below are my confusions/concerns.
1.should i go for 6 months testing as well if the test was performed using 3 generation?
2.My doctor said that all my blood tests are normal. does this mean i dont have any auto immune disease and dont need HIV test after 6 month, if the test was performed using a 4th generation testing kit?
please help me . I didn't sleep for 3 months
Thank you and awaiting reply
