what are the odds
Dear all,
I have just received my hiv test results 4 months after a possible exposure and it was –ve. But I still feel very strange things happen to me like I still have pain in my knees and abdomen and I get rashes on my arms. My risk was protected vaginal with low end brothel sex worker it was only $100 in Dubai. I was so drunk that I can’t recall if the condom was intact or not because she removed it not me. So I would assume that it was damaged which makes my chances 1/2000 if she was infected but I read in the expert forum that most CSW are not infected which makes my odds better than 1/2000 so maybe its 1/5000 I presume and then I had a –ve test at 4 months after the encounter which is 99.5% accurate as I read that 6 months only is 100% accurate so what are the odds that my test results will be +ve when I test at 6 months bench mark?

accept your negative status...put this behind you...and move on with your life :)
***IF THE CONDOM HAD RUPTURED...THE SEX WORKER WOULD HAVE BEEN UPSET ABOUT IT. THEY DO NOT WANT TO CONTRACT HIV ANYMORE THAN YOU DO...HENCE THE REASON THEY USE THEM.
regardless of whether it broke or not...you have a conclusive reult.

sorry I forgot to add if 3 months is 99.5% accurate then my 4 months test is higher that 99.5% accurate is that right?
Thank you again guys for your input my question again is why it says that the 3 month test is only 99.5% accurate not 100%?
and again can I practice non protetced sex ith my wife now?

Thank you all for your assurance.
But why then do we read that 3 months is 99.5% not 100% ? Wouldn't it be better to say that 3 months is 100% to reduce peoples anxiaty and help them in getting over it?

Hi there,
Your 4 months result is conclusive.
HIV is diagnosed through a blood test, not through signs and symptoms. You will need to acknowledge the facts and reconcile with these facts.
Cheers!
