In your case, the reliability is 100%, since you never had a risk (your test confirmed that).
Hi, Spoke to a local councellor, he suggested for peace of mind to get a test, received my result as negative for HIV DUO ULTRA, serum by ELFA test, can someone please tell me whats the reliability of this test at 16 days post exposure.
Thanks Teak, this is reassuring, was not looking for a changed answer, its just that the mind plays dangerous games when one is in doubt, so was reasoning out, its difficult situation for me, as I have been avoiding intimacy with my partner as I dont wanna infect her, if at all I am infected.
Reread the replies that you have already been given. The answers will not change no matter how many times you ask.
Just not able to sleep, My abrasion is still not healed, everytime I look at it it reminds me of HIV risk, just to ease my mind I wanted to know, when everyone says that there are chances of HIV infection through abrasion, so just wondering why you think my abrased penis shaft (almost 1 by 1 inch abrased) wont be a risk due to mu activity.
thanks
Thanks Friends, appreciate the way you all support the community..
You never had an exposure and you do not need testing.
Just to be on a safer side, should I get tested ? as I do not want my spouse to be harmed in anyway, and the guilt and anxiety is killing me..
any suggestion for a reliable test at 16th day post exposure ? Please
Thanks Joggen, I did take care, but was really worried about the abrasion on the shaft and the wild nature of the sexual activity, various thoughts run through the mind.
Thanks once again
The condoms protected you--abrasions or no abrasions.You never had a risk & you need to forget all about this.
Thanks for the quick response, i am tensed due to various posts about the rick of getting infected through abrasion/cuts/wounds..
Thanks
NO, NO, NO, you had protected sex. Protected sex isn't as complicated as you are making it out to be: head of penis covered = no risk for infection with HIV. It really is that simple. Instead of posting on an HIV forum, you should be popping champaign, because you had safe sex.
There will probably be 50000 HIV infections in the US this year, and all the sexually-related infections will be the result of unprotected vaginal and anal sex. You should be celebrating that you will not be one of them.
1.NO 2.NO 3. what is my risk in this situation--ZERO.
