Not any of your tests were correct tests. Go to a doctor that knows what they are doing.

Are you sure you had those tests?  They do not make sense.   If you are correct, then they are not the right tests.

However I think you are saying that you had a positive p24 antigen test result.  These do give false positives, and need to be confirmed with a different type of test.

Reread the information you have been given.

As before, the tests you mention do not sound right, so it is hard to comment on this.

The problem is that you don't mention an antibody test.  If you had one of those that was negative at the times you mention, then you are OK.   Otherwise you probably need to talk to a Dr to unravel your test results.

Sorry.

If you had an ELISA test that was negative 3 months after your risk then you do not have HIV.    So did you have an ELISA at 3 months?  

From your post I can not be sure if you did.     All the stuff about the other tests (Western Blot, DNA PCR and p24 antigen) is not the correct way to test for HIV.  

You seem to be an example of someone who has had too many tests.  Instead of making things easier, more tests can make it harder to understand.

Yes, that is what I am saying.     Your negative ELISA test result 3 months after exposure is definitive.  You do not have HIV.

Next time use condoms.
