question about HIV test
Hello, please i want to know what is the accuracy of the 4th gen HIV test at 18 days? i tested and came out negative. but some people say its not very accurate at the time. can someone help me with that please. Thank you
You had no risk of acquiring HIV from the episode you describe. Your illness is not related to HIV.
Thank you for your help, the problem is my flu is not getting better. i took antibiotic for my lymph nodes because the doctor told me its an infection and I'm not getting better at all. thats why I'm suspecting acute HIV symptoms
As long as your penis was covered by the condom during vaginal sex you were not a risk. Unprotected oral sex is not a risk for HIV. You don't even need to test for this as you have absolutely NO risk for HIV.
i had protected oral and vaginal sex with a csw on oct 4th, but i have a bad flu since 2 weeks and enlarged lymph nodes, nausea and vomiting, thats why I'm very worried
The 4th Gen DUO test is not considered conclusive until 28 days. What was your exposure?
