HIV testing at 5 weeks.
Hello. 5 weeks ago I received unprotected oral from a csw and then finished it with protected vaginal penetration. I have been very worried about hiv and got myself tested at week 3 and week 5 with spot antibody tests. Results were negative. I got myself tested with an EIA p24 antigen + HIV antibody test as well. Result was negative. Are these tests conclusive or should I wait for full 3 months?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Even i checked your report its a combo test , p24 antigen + antibodies early detection test . Its a 4 th gen test. I think Dr.tan not looked your report properly. if you still worried get one more 4th gen test for your peace of mind . I believe you are from India , you can get the 4th gen test at Dr.lal path lab , metropolis lab. else ask Dr.tan.

You don't have any HIV risk to test . p24antigen+antibody test (EIA) was at the 34th day from exposure is conclusive. Move on .
