ANY TEST AT 19 MONTHS IS CONCLUSIVE
Is TMA the same as PCR???
Thank you. It wasn't a PCR, it was TAM methodology RNA test. Also had HIV 1/O/2 Abs-ICMA at same time, 2 different blood draws.
So you are 100% confident tests were accurate and hiv negative???!!!
You have been answered over and over again, there is nothing more we can tell you.
Wow, great advice to give someone who is stressing over a life-threatening disease! Tell them so what, and to see a doctor for their worries! Thanks!!!
Are you trying to be funny?!?!
Ask where you have done the test if they did it correctly or not
Could the tests have been done incorrectly therefore yielding an incorrect result???!!!
Move on man, repeating the same thing again and again does not change the response you are getting.
So even months past seroconversion the test will still detect the RNA???
These tests are highly sensitive and they can give more false positive rather than false negative.
If you had the virus than it would have definitely shown in the results.
Thank you! One last question. Is a HIV-1 RNA Qualitative test accurate after sero-conversion? I have read that it is accurate in aiding a '+' result, but maybe not so accurate as a stand-alone test to prove a negative result. FYI-I took this test 19 months possible exposure. If hiv would have been contracted, would my body have controlled the virus enough that it would not be picked up in the RNA test 19 months later? Results: HIV-1 not detected.
You had NO risk for HIV, there are thousands of other ressons for your symptoms but if you are fixdated in HIV then it is not going to help. See a doctor for your symptoms it has NOTHING to do with HIV.
Thanks but been having some crazy symptoms that could be hiv related: pityriasis alba, molluscum contagiosum, and canker sores. Are you sure that there was no chance of being infected and that the tests could not have been wrong?
Viruses are very fragile they cannot survive outside the body so, only way the transmission occurs is inside the body. You have NO risk.
If the blood was seconds fresh, still no possibility of transmission? I was pushing inside my nose very hard as my nose was bleeding and that is when I realized I had touched the other persons blood with that same finger!
Thanks Vance. What if blood was 10 seconds fresh from + person to inanimate object to my mucosal nose membrane that I scratched and was bleeding? I scratched it again after having touched inanimate object with the Fresh hiv + blood! Scares me!
Is blood from hiv + person on an inanimate object infectious if I touched it and touched my nose on the inside, which was bleeding?
