TEST RESULTS

Hello
exposure with hiv + blood about 21 days ago. Have swollen lymph nodes in my groin, and a little headache, also diarrhea. Had a 9, 13 day hiv rna pcr both negative. Also had an elisa negative at 16 days....How reliable are this results, especially with me having the symptoms? Could it be another std?

thanks in advance

She put blood on my penis...I also did 3 weeks after exposure, rapid blood test that came negative, waiting on my hiv rna to be returned (tested at 16 day post exposure). Im praying for the best, but still have swollen lymph nodes in my groin.

i strongly believe the person put blood on my penis on purpose....i am experiencing all kinds of symptoms, and I doubt it is anxiety motivated. how reliable are these tests that i took? would the hiv rna show positive if I was going through ARS?

Hi What type of exposure? Most common for risk is sharing IV drug needles or massive open wounds with massive amounts of blood exhanged.
