[brian70]

Hi.

I had unprotected sex around the date of 03/03/09,and took the an STD test on 05/02/09.
RPR - Syphilis : Non-reactive - your test is negative.
HIV 1 Antibodies : Non-reactive. (%75 the lab said on the phone) - your test is negative.
also on the page was :
Antibodies IgG Index = Negative 1.09
Your Screening Test for Herpes 1 IgG is POSITIVE.
Your Screening Test for Herpes 2 IgG is NEGATIVE.

-I would appreciated to know please what is Non-reactive really means,and if you suggest I should retest for HIV 1 if yes how long i should wait to retest,also I did not notice any symptoms or anything different about my body from herpes or nether hiv till this day 05/22/09
ANY help or info would be much appreciated.

3 months is required for a conclusive test result.  at that point...your test will be reliable and conclusive...NOT at 2 months as stated above.

sorry to keep asking,When I calld the lab on phone she said something about the HIV test was %75 what she realy means by that,and what is the normal (negative) percentage? also is 3 months enough to retest?
Thank you.

You should retest to obtain a conclusive test result.

Thank you again.

3 months from the date of possible exposure is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result.

non-reactive means you lack the antibodies for it. Thus the antigens did not get attached by your antibodies. Thus meaning your body was not exposed to HIV. At 2 months 98% of people show to to be postive with HIV. Id say your safe, and no need for further testing.
