question on liklyhood of infection
is your possiple infection was on the 23rd of january and you get teted on the 7th of march and your test resluts look like this can you safly assume your not infected?
"HIV DNA RT by PCR Negative TG
HIV-1 DNA NOT DETECTED
.
Comment:
Patient's specimen is NEGATIVE for Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Proviral DNA by the RT Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Amplification
method. Negative results do NOT rule out the possibility of HIV
infection. PCR results should be used in conjunction with other
laboratory test results and the patient's clinical profile.
.
This assay is currently labeled by its manufacturer "For Research Use
Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures". This assay has not been
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The performance
characteristics of this assay have been validated by LabCorp.
HIV 1/O/2 Abs-Index Value <1.00 <1.00 BN
Index Value: Specimen reactivity relative to the negative cutoff.
HIV 1/O/2 Abs, Qual Non Reactive Non Reactive BN"

so I can go get that on April 23rd and then most likely have nothing more to worry bout?
No some check for both 1 and 2. Not on a PCR-DNA test they can't give a reading below 40 and that is on an ultra sensitivity test.
the pcm dna text checks for hiv-1 only correct? if the two other thingys that say "HIV 1/O/2" would have to represent antibody tests wouldint they?
aren't the values "<1.00" and "Non Reactive"???
like I said I don't really understand these things

What did I not tell you in my first reply? Where did you get ICMA? No where on the results states you took a ICMA test. That was the results of the PCR-DNA test which are meaningless.
I think copy and pasting may have made my results hard to read by removing text formatting
here is an image
the two second ones are a differint test right?

That did not give you a number like 0.32 or 0.36 for the ICMA test? The PCR-DNA test was worthless.
on the invoice I delivered to labcorp the test was described this this
"Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1), Qualitative DNA PCR With HIV-1 Antibodies,
ICMA"
"Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1), Qualitative DNA PCR With HIV-1 Antibodies,
ICMA"
you may have missed it but it seems they ran some types of antibody tests too thiats what this means right?
HIV 1/O/2 Abs-Index Value <1.00 <1.00 BN
Index Value: Specimen reactivity relative to the negative cutoff.
HIV 1/O/2 Abs, Qual Non Reactive Non Reactive BN"
HIV 1/O/2 Abs-Index Value <1.00 <1.00 BN
Index Value: Specimen reactivity relative to the negative cutoff.
HIV 1/O/2 Abs, Qual Non Reactive Non Reactive BN"
it appears that if they ran three different type of tests, I don't really understand any of this and I will go back next month at the 3 month window but for the time being how concerned should I currently be?
Neither the Abbott RealTime nor the Roche COBAS AmpliPrep/COBAS TaqMan HIV-1 assay is intended to be used as a donor screening test for HIV-1 or as a diagnostic test to confirm the presence of HIV-1 infection.

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
