I am from a poor country in the middle east where they don't know a lot about HIV and i couldn't found any experts in this career in my country to talk with.
I had Unprotected sex with a sex worker 4 months ago outside the country. i called the girl asked her if she have HIV she answered that she isn't but when i asked her if she tested before , she told me that she never tested before for HIV.
I had all ARS during this 4 months .
I took an HIV antibody test for every 5 days and all came back negative till now ( maybe my HIV test is 2nd generation because event in the lab they don't know about the test generationand they even dont know if is for HIV 1 & 2 or no )
i asked and read a lot of information on the internet and what i found that 97 % will test positive during the first 3 months and the rest 3% at 6 months.
i went to a lot of doctors and all asked me to retest at 6 months.
i can't wait another 2 months in this situation i need to get back to my normal life .
1-Do you think An " HIV - Rna quantitative By Tagman Prob " test know can be the bottom line for this situation at the 125 days ? (I did the test and still waiting the result in 1 week ) and this is the only PCR test that i found after 4 months searching.
2-Can this RNA test at 125 days result can be a false positive or a false negative ??
3-What do you know about the 3 % who test positive at 6 months. ??
4-What is the window period the 2nd generation antibody test ??
5- What do you know about the 3% people how test positive at 6 months??

In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results
