Disregard that first reply that was meant for another thread.

1. What was your exposure?
2. When was your exposure?

I've had so many test looking for anything and I'm still concerned about HIV.
I had a Positive Elisa and Western Blot on 11/10.

just recently I had another test for HIV test
119 days post exposure I had a Elisa that was positive and Western Blot that was negative.  PCR RNA <75 not detected.
Am I 100% in the clear?

You don't have an HIV concern and you were advised of it months ago.

I understand Teak and I appreciate your knowledge....So please take away the exposure and just look at the tests, do I need a 6 month?

I beleive my exposure occurred on October 25th 2011 during a procedure performed....This procedure is called Intracavernous Pharmacotherapy (ICP) is where they inject vasodilators into the spongy tissue of the penis for ED. I may have been injected either by a HIV tainted syringe or that the doctor did not wear gloves when he rubbed the injection in so with a HIV tainted hand. Patient-to-patient.

Your fear is irrational.  Doctors and healthcare workers do not reuse syringes and other equioment.  If the doctor didn't wear gloves, that is not an HIV risk.

You had no risk.

  The place I went to didn't take my insurance...kinda shady when I think of their ads and how the treat their patients they really push this injection therapy.  
My problem is I was diagnosed via elisa and western blot, then all my since tests have been negative going on 6 months now...pcr/western blots/ rapid tests, with the exception of the elisa its always been positive
And still mono like sickness so sick etc
