HIV Testing (PLEASE HELP ME)

[freedom44]

Hi Doctor!

I had a "risky exposure" 36 days ago.

I was tested both Antigen p24 and antibodies (4º GENERATION ELISA) 12 days after the exposure, and the results were negative.

Then, I was tested again both Antigen p24 and antibodies, 20 (almost 3 weeks) days after the exposure, and the results were negative.

Finally, I was tested again both Antigen p24 and antibodies HIV (4º generation Elisa) 34 days (almost 5 weeks) after the exposure, and the results were NEGATIVE again.

1. My question is... how much accuracy do these tests I have already made have?
2. Do I need further testing?
3. Do you recomend me a test in 8 weeks or 3 months?
4. I have seen in the forum that a 4th generation test after 28 days is almost conclusive, so my last test would be conclusive?


Please, I would be very grateful if you could answer me, this anxiety is very bad.

Thank you very much, best wishes Doctor.

What was your exposure?
That will help teak or lizzie or nursegirl give you an answer

[freedom44]

My exposure was anal receptive, i was bottom.

It was with condom, but I didn't check it after the sex, so I don't know if it was broken or not.

Thank you

[Teak]

Had the condom failed you would have known by the feeling.

[freedom44]

Not sure about that... i'm just silly. He told me that he had ejaculated in the condom, so the only thing i can trust in is that... but I'm not sure about it, and I don't know if he's HIV+ either....

What do you think about my tests... and the accuracy of them... thank you

[Teak]

Not accurate at all. To obtain a conclusive negative test it is 3 months post exposure.

[freedom44]

but 4th generation is said to be accurate after 28 days, isn't it?

[Teak]

No. What is your location?

[freedom44]

Spain.

Why you say no? I've read some answers of doctors here saying that "negative duo test at 5 weeks will be 100% reassuring; even 3-4 weeks"

thank you

[Teak]

Duo test don't give you a conclusive negative test any eariler than a standard HIV test. What they can do is detect earlier.

[freedom44]

ffff... i thought that i could be calm with these results... oh my god, this anxiety is going to kill me...

[Teak]

Anxiety has never killed anyone.
