IV1 & HIV2 Antibodies, Combo Test Includes p24 Antigen.

[crazyrahul75]

Dear Doctor. I have been in a traumatic state of mind for the past couple of days. I live in India and had sex with a Russian commercial sex worker initially with a condom which she took off mid way stating that she just got her tests done last week and was negative. In a state where we both were high on alcohol, i couldn't really figure out the blunder that i was committing. I later questioned her that she would be allowing other men too to do the same and she replied that she was choosy and could differentiate amongst her clients, to which i have my doubts. She even told me that she could get me her last week hiv reports if i was so messed up in the mind.

I got an HIV1 & HIV2 Antibodies, Combo Test Includes p24 Antigen (Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay) done on 16th day which was non reactive and measured 0.16. Today is the 28th day and i went in for another test, the result for which would be out today in the evening. I am a married man and don't want to pass any infection (god forbid) if any to my wife and she has already been questioning me as to why i have been using a condom all throughout for the last couple of days as she is a bit allergic to latex and says she wont let me use it anymore.

My whole world has turned Topsy Turvy (A) because of guilt (B) due to fear of contracting / passing a dreaded disease.

Is the above mentioned test on the 28th day reliable and accurate in India ? In case i am negative, Can i carry on my life with my spouse like any normal person. ? The guy who draws blood samples at the center told me that 3 months was ideal. Upon asking him why not 28 days he had no answer to that. My question is do we really need to wait that long (3 Months) where each day is another day of anxiety and fear ....????

Your help and suggestion will be highly appreciated
