Hi,
I had a LabCorp test recently, about 6 weeks after my last sexual encounter (with someone whom I don't suspect having HIV at all)
The results are below:
Result Reference Range
HIV 1/O/2 Abs-Index Value 1.00 <1.00
Index value: Specimen reactivity relative to the negative cutoff
HIV 1/O/2 Abs, Qual Non Reactive Non Reactive
The test result was not colored red like positive items on the list, so I assume it means the test result is considered "Negative".
I never experienced any symptoms of acute HIV infection (fever, malaise, etc.).
I am extremely worried about the Result shown. Isn't that dangerously close to being out of reference range? If so why does the "Qual" test show as Non-Reactive? Are there two tests happening here? My doctor suggested retesting at 3 months to be completely sure. Should I supplement this blood test with a finger-stick test at a clinic?
What does the 1.00 here mean exactly?
But that is if you don't have any STD or cuts or ulcers on ur penis plus the viral load of the person. But the main thing is all of these bieng considered when the female is positive. Which in ur case I don't think she is. Don't worry. I'm sure I'll be fine. Do another test weeks later for peace of mind. And always use condoms even if u know the woman. I'm telling u this so that u won't worry this much in future ;-) everything is gonna be fine. in my opinion The odds of getting HIV from the kind of relationship u explain is unlikely, ur not with a hooker or a prostitute..... Besides u have that 6 weeks point test there under ur belt..
Then let me tell u sth else, ) if someone is negative it doesn't mean his/her partner is negative too. talk to her ,Ttell her how much u love her, and care for her, then take her to a public clinic, get her tested ;-) I'm telling u this cuz u doubt so much........ U don't have HIV and can't get from a situation like this.....
She's not a hooker or street junkie or drug user.
Take care ;-)
