HIV risk

Last month(29 Sept 2013) i had sex with a call girl whose hiv status i am not aware of. I inserted my finger on her vagina  for almost 2-3 minutes,but i am not sure whether i had a cut or not in my finger.Visibly it was not there as per my notice.but might have an opening in between the nail which was not bleeding.I have kissed her vagina with my lips which had a crack and not bleeding.I did not use my tongue at all.I I used condoms during vaginal intercourse.I did not wash myself after the sexual act.After this encounter i was so scared and stressed for 2-3 days.On the fourth day(3rd oct 2013) i got symptoms of fever (especially at night) with joint weakness,fatigue and shivering.I already had mouth ulcers because i was using some fibrous dental wear for past few days.I went to Dr and he asked me to get admitted.He ran all the tests for malaria and widal test which all came negative.But my total bilirubin level was 1.48mg/dl and indirect bilirubin was 1.40mg/dl.All other blood counts were normal.The wbc count was9270/ul and neutrophils were 71%, lymph 23% ,mono-5%,Eosno-1% during the first day of hospitalisation.The x ray of chest and sonography reports were normal.Exceptthe radiologist  suggested in report as "hypoechoic echostructure of liver suggested clinico  pathological correlation" . i was hospitalised for 6 days and i was severely stressed and could not sleep properly.The nurse took the temperature which was normal but i felt excessive heat whenever i  sleep.I got burning sensation in penis,the urine report showed 1-2/hpf pus cells and epithelial cells were occasional and he prescribed cital syrup.I felt the entire episode of fever like acute hiv symptoms.i got discharged on 11th oct 2013 but sometimes i felt feverish and nausea.i took rest for  one week but i was under severe stress and whenever i take food i felt problem in swallowing and the mouth ulcers still remained.Now from 23rd oct i felt like a red sore/wound(2 red pimple like very small) like on the glan of my penis near the urinal opening.It is making me uncomfortable.Now i have mild flow of mucous from nose to throat and always felt like coughing but no coughing were experienced except some mucous flow in throat.i am severely stressed now and i have made in my mind that i am infected with hiv .i could not sleep or concentrate

At 31 st day of possible exposure at Vijaya hospital, Chennai i have done  

1)Anti HIV 1&2[Ag/Ab] third generation -Non reactive

2)p24 Antigen by CMIA - non reactive

3)VDRL which is also nonreactive

4)HBSAG by CMIA ,Anti HCV by CMIA,Anti HAV IGM which were all nonreactive



At 41st day i have done HIV rapid test which gave result in half an hour which is non reactive

But i experienced all the symptoms like recurring penis pimples,

Postrate infection with groin pain,Armpit pain(not continuous but sometimes) ,mucus flow thru throat etc, but no temperature

At 62nd day i have done an Elisa at Chennai lab which also came negative
At 62nd day the WBC count seems to be 6300cells compared to 9270cells in the previous month
now also i feel slight throat infection, penis pimples,groin pain(not continuos but recurrent),sometimes i feel very tired  etc
1)Is it a clear case of HIV?
2)How reliable is 62nd day ELISA test ?
3)Will prolonged use  tab oflox,moxikind cv625,sn15,montec lc(during  hospitalisation and later) delay the window period(because tab oflox is stated as chemotheraputic drug)
4)Will hepatitis infection delay the window period?
5)will hepatitis virus be detectable in a blood test at 31st day of exposure?

thank you
syam

Mr.teak mentioned that no test is conclusive in the window period,
The window period is 3 months as per the guidelines.
he just wanted to mention that even if it is fourth generation or third generation, test is conclusive only after 3 months.

He is just reassuring that we never had a an exposure to HIV virus.
It is just ur anxiety which is causing u problems

Neither one of you had an exposure and there are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test result earlier than 3 months post exposure.

The total cost was around Rs 4700/- in Vijaya Hospital
I don't know whether they will do the test without the vijaya hospital doctor's prescription.
I have got the advice from the forum to go Ranbaxy - Mylapore (or) SRL ( Annanagar) labs
I guess Ranbaxy might be doing a fourth generation Elisa (which as per the forum is conclusive after 6 weeks )

Move along..You never had an exposure and testing not required.
By the way HIV transmission never happen in oral sex and your intercourse was protected.
If u worried still take a test @ 12 weeks mark and it will be conclusive.
You can have test at Ranbaxy - Mylapore (or) SRL ( Annanagar)

You used condoms for the penetrative vaginal sex therefore you never had a risk & never needed to have all those HIV tests.
