HIV-1 PCR
Broken condom, for over 1 minute, with a prostitute in Pune, India. Did not realize. ELSA negative at 5 weeks.
"HIV-1 RNA Qualitative Real Time RT PCR Report" also negative at 5 weeks. Have I escaped this mishap. Is PCR test different fo HIV-2 ? Swear never to do anything stupid again!

Still far from conclusive but may be a good sign. Repeat the ELISA or another HIV antibody test 3 months post-exposure for a conclusive, if negative, result.
