Am I Free?
Mr. Teak,
My story is this. I am a male who have once had unprotected sexual intercourse with a woman here in singapore.
I have tested at Action for Aids in DSC Clinic Singapore using rapid blood testing at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 5 months, and at 11 months post exposure and it all came back negative.
My question is. Can I rely on this results and finally move on with my life. It is almost a year and 2 months since that stupid mistake happened and just now I have a severe headache runs for almost 2 weeks and I tend to
co-relate these symptoms to HIV?
Please advise.
Many Thanks.

you are well and truly negative at three months you could have stopped testing ... the guidelines are 3 months for a conclusive result .... you are negative ...
I have read that Determine HIV 1/2 rapid blood test cannot detect HIV-1 subtypes H,J,K? and how does the AFA here in singapore conclude that a 3 months post exposure test is conclusive if they are using the above test kit which cannot able to detect HIV-1 subtypes H,J,K?
Can you pls give me some inputs on this issue.. You can confirm this fact on its product catalogue.
It is true that there have been a cases of late seroconversion? how long is the late seroconversion from the time of exposure?
I forgot to tell that I am asmathic person and Im taking ventolin for this. Does this drug may affect the rapid blood testing results?
