Duo is conclusive after 28 days so you wasted your time testing twice.
Docs can't diagnose hiv from symptoms, otherwise no one would need to test. You should move on from hiv ideas.
If you really think you have health problem see doc because you have been worrying and wasting your own time for 3 months trying to diagnose with no medical training which has a low probability of success. Most of those symptoms can be in a worried person's imagination or else they are super minor symptoms that everyone gets. Mouth sores? Everyone gets them. Your tongue was likely always this white color but you didn't notice it before because you weren't looking for at your body trying to detect "hiv symptoms."

Thank you so much for writing to clear.
But pleaae, i have doubt that this test only detects the antibodies or antigen which are the response of our immunity.
What if my immunity is weak as i had suffered pleural effusion in my left lung in 2020 for which i had been on Anti Tuberculosis Teatment for 6 months.
Would that be a case to delay down my ab/ag production.

You are just guessing that the tests don't work.
You should have contacted the manufacturer to verify if the test is affected by your medication, instead of wasting your energy for 3 months guessing INCORRECTLY that you have a disease.
You didn't even have a risk for hiv, so if I was you, I wouldn't waste more time worrying about your PLACEBO test for a disease that can't be present.

Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (hand, body, fluids when peeing, etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
Find a better doctor next time you have a medical question, because the one you saw was uninformed and gave you really bad advice.

I can understand why you are nervous after that doctor's ridiculous comment but he is totally wrong. I presume you are in a foreign country where the government interferes with the doctors. hiv isn't an insect that can crawl from the head of your penis into your urethra when you peed. Plus it was dead at that point anyway.
Yes , i am trying to get all the southing comments of everyone as the enxiety is killing me so bad.
So, i got tested again yesterday by HIv duo test which is at 93rd day after exposure which has come out negative.
But i am still feeling scared as i can feel the apin in my arms .

That's pretty silly, for you to be worrying that hiv has caused a pain in your arms. I don't think anyone here can help you with that kind of IRRATIONAL anxiety problem. This is just an hiv forum, and anxiety is treated in a one on one meeting with someone, not a chat forum.
The good thing is you don't have hiv, so eventually you will find someone who can convince you that you don't have hiv. Maybe you should see a therapist instead of wasting any more months.

Thank you for this forum for providing immediate help to the guys like me who is going through a very tough time.
I just had a discussion with the doctor and she said that the 93 day reuslt of HIV dual combo is conclusive to be sure about excluding HIV.

Your doctor is not educated on the subject. It's conclusive at 28 days and beyond. There really isn't anything more to say though.
Is this the same doctor that said you could get hiv from peeing? You will not get correct information from an unscientific person like that.
No, he is not that doctor who told me that.
She is a different lady who told me that-
28 days HIV duo combo is 95% accurate
45 days is 99.9% accurate
And 90 days is conclusive

Not sure why you keep posting the same questions over and over here. You only trust your own ideas about hiv even though you have no medical training and should not trust your own ideas. Make sense? No.
You've told us that we are all wrong and only you knows how hiv is spread, yet you keep coming back asking more questions - you keep telling us that our answers are wrong and you claim that you are the expert. Make sense? No.
I'm finished with this thread.
