Oral Sex and negative Hiv Duo Test
Dear Doctor
I visited a massage parlor in Dubai. The morocon lady did oral sex with me. I didnt ejaculate in her mouth. After that i was so much worried and went to one doctor here. He asked for an elisa test (i dont know the generation) after 10 days which was negative. After that i got test for hiv combo test (P 24 ag / ab CMIA) at 36 days and at 46 days which were also negative. Now doctor is telling that although these tests are re assuring but i have to got for a final test at 90 days whereas, another doctor is telling that due to low risk exposure and 3 negative tests, i can carry on with my life. I am so much confused. Furthermore, internet is also full of different opinions. Can you help me and confirm whether 46 days negative test is conclusive or not or should i wait for another 44 days. Please give me a response.

Find a new doctor and stop testing. You never had a risk...testing will only fuel your anxiety, and increase your chance for a false +, which will cause a tremendous amount of undue anxiety.

Ignore the "advice" from your doctor who, I am sure not a specialist in infectious diseases. Your risk never existed. An HIV Duo test is conclusive and accurate after 4 weeks anyway, You do not have HIV
Thank you for your kind support and advice but my doctor is killing me and still telling that 90 days test is conclusive and all these tests are for a good indicator but not the final one.
Concur with Howard completely, the Duo test (4th generation test) is conclusive from 28 days, you are absolutely free from HIV. (Not that you had a risk in the first place :) )
Time to down tools and forget about HIV now, you have done the right (but unnecacerry) thing of testing to put your mind at rest, accept your result and move on happy in the fact you do not have HIV.

Stop testing for goodness' sake! As the others said, this was a no risk event and you didn't need testing at all. And even if you decided to test for reassurance, 4 DUOs is ridiculous. DUO is conclusive any time 4 weeks or more after exposure. Any other tests have been superfluous and a waste of money.
So no more testing, and no point in asking anything further about it on this forum. The answers won't change no matter how many times ask. Move on.
