Possible based on what? Did you have a risk?

No it is not possible to have an ARS rash at 8 weeks no matter if you had a risk or not.

[tp101]

Thank you Vance.. But plz also tell me at does pep affect ( delay) the symptoms???  
My rash is 8 weeks after pep..

[tp101]

does personal immunity aslo affect the time the symptoms occour...

[tp101]

I have very low immunity..

[Vance2335]

Your immunity is fine. PEP wuld not effect anything for it to come on 8 weeks later.

What was your risk.

[tp101]

I had an anal contact...some fluid spillt out..

[Vance2335]

What is anal contact? And what do you mean by fluid?

[tp101]

Anal sex.. By fliud I mean cum... sorry for not being specific..

[tp101]

I aslo have mild fever since the past 12days.. do you think it is hiv or some other infection..

[Vance2335]

Can never use symptoms as an indication. You can test for HIV now and get a real good indication and at 3 months for a conclusive result.

[tp101]

So you dont rule out the symptoms are because of hiv??
What do you think is will be the % accuracy of the results if I take the test right now..  

[Vance2335]

I rule out symptoms because of time frame and because you can never use symptoms as an indication or a guide. Symptoms are meaningless, if you read posts the majority of people have "symptoms" when they didn't even have a risk.
At 8 weeks it is in the upper 90's%.

[tp101]

What type of test should i do at this stage.. Dna/Rna PCR or the hiv duo test.. Or both??

[tp101]

.

[Vance2335]

3 month antibody test is the only approved test that will tell you your status.

[tp101]

what about right now. what test should i take right now..

[tp101]

what about right now. what test should i take right now..

[Vance2335]

If you must take a test then do an antibody test but make sure you folow up with a 3 month test.

[tp101]

If non reactive value increase in between two tests , does it mean its climbing and may be reactive in a few weeks?

[tp101]

this is in the window period..
